“She works hard for the money…”
Kelly Rowland‘s UK promo hustle shows no sign of slowing.
Taking a brief break from rehearsals for her upcoming X Factor performance, the 30 year old arrived a London’s HMV Oxford Circus to plug the UK version of her 3rd album ‘Here I Am’.
Hundreds of fans queued to meet the singer, who signed a copy of the record for the first person in the line.
In other Ms. Kelly news, she has on record to reveal that her X Factor showing this weekend will be a medley, which lifts from her critically praised BET Awards performance. Bring on Sunday!
Your thoughts?

Much better singer than swagger jacker Beyonce but true… her albums do FLOP all over. Maybe she gets the Cheryl Cole luck and sells big in the UK? But then we know waht to Cheryl Cole in the US. *giggles*

Her critically acclaimed BET award performance? Are we talking about that fully lipsynch performance she got caught with the mic down?
And then u have the nerve to criticize people others when they used a backing track on top of their REAL VOICE. lmao!
Oh well, I hope Ms Kelly can sell 164,000 copies of her album this week. After all, she is the judge on the X Factor EVERYWEEK.

She has 0 excuse for flopping in the UK.
She is on the #1 tv show in the UK and everybody who comes out of XFaxtor as a judge or competitor always ends up top5.
She better brings it. Cus after being the flop solo artist from Destiny’s Child; it ll be embarrassing for her to be the flop solo artist from the XFactor.
What would that say about her?

Since you care so much why don’t you go to HMV and purchase the album. But oh no! You can’t do that because you cant afford it. Well you can say whatever you want but truth be told you don’t have money to buy it. If you did you would go hungry for the whold week for every penny you earn should be saved for food. If i’m wrong prove it by a pic of you buying the cd. Either that or you are as broke as hell

Here I Am is not going to flop in the UK.
“Down For Whatever” debuted at #6 here on Sunday and has already charted in Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Scotland and Ireland.
That makes it her NINTH top 10 hit in the UK.
Haters please find your way to your seats or the shacks you reside in. Kelz is getting that money. Stay pressed.
OH, MICHELLE’S NEW SINGLE “ON THE RUN” with Electric Giant Beatz is OUT NOW! BUY, BUY, BUY and let’s have two of Destiny’s Children in the UK top 10

Well now..
The “Moment Of Truth” now arrives (as the Bull-Fighters would say). But keep THIS in mind, the U.K. “per capita” does the most ‘online’ shopping of ANY G7/Industrialized country. Amazon U.K. has had “Here I Am” now onsale for MONTHS now – both as a digital DL and hard copies. And what’s MOST telling? Well, “Here I Am” apparently hasn’t been…”motivating” any U.K. shoppers to be “down”…for ‘whatever’ shopping!
I’ve been waiting for THIS moment for months now. I have NO DOUBT we’ll see “sales” based on UNITS SHIPPED, instead of ACTUAL U.K. OTC Retail Sales..!!

lets put the record straight, rihannas loud #3 in the US and has sold over 6 million world wide. only 1 million of that is the US, it is not the only music market. in the UK she is the only female last year to sell over 1 million.

@JoArmy…Ummm what is Jojo doing? Besides D List videos that no one cares about and remaking songs by more established artist she has done nothing. Im just saying to call someone a flop for album sales…. and singing and then praise Jojo (album sales ) and Rihanna (singing) is beyond ludicrous.

Good Lord, you fools are some heavy ass haters! I mean, really?! Who hates on Kelly Rowland? She is the sweetheart of DC, loyal friend to Beyonce (who threw her under the bus on numerous occasions), and all around wonderful talent!
You really can’t just be happy for her success; when it’s long overdue?!
Wow!!!
Anyway, Kelly, you are beautiful, talented, and deserving of any success you get.
I know how hard it is for real brown girls to sell records, you have to have more talent then your other contemporaries; but you stuck it out! God Bless you!

@Muni re: Nov 28th –
“Goddess”..?! “Caring”..?! <– O~o
Kelly Rowland is a "con" artist. And I mean THAT in EVERY sense of the word! She's "perfected" her "craft-in-graft".
..And that is you "pictured with her ABOVE"..?? Well, that'll make you T-H-E absolutely biggest 'MARK' in all "London Town".
Muni, 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland ISN'T laughing with you, no! She's laughing AT YOU! She's thinking: "Ha! Now this is one dark-skin black woman who I've 'guilted into' buying my rubbish CD. These 'Black Brits' are T-H-E absolutely stupidest of ALL!! They're as naive, ignorant and stupid a 'demo' as I've EVER come across!"
Yes Muni, sadly, that she's EXACTLY what she's thinking about you when smiling at you that VERY second when the camera took THAT picture. And now, saved for A-L-L eternity, YOUR part – as fool/'mark' – in an elaborate confidence scheme!
What an absolutely EPIC tragedy..!!
But there's hope for you, Muni. I won't lead you astray! NO! There's still a chance at/for redemption:
1.) Return her CDs. They're absolute rubbish, and much sooner than later, you'll find them in your local retailers discount bin; Not unlike here, in the U.S.
2.) Tell ALL your friends and family what a horrible and reprehensible person Kelly Rowland is. Tell them you've had a revelation, an epiphany, of sorts.
3.) Call ITN and tell them to replace Kelly Rowland with someone else – ANYONE..!!
Muni, unlike that GOD-awful 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, I'm on YOUR side!
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!

Seriously!! Why is she still on this album?
November 29, 2011 at 6:00 am
Heads up: Kelly is tanking as a judge on X Factor UK. She is the worst mentor and the UK public can not stand her. Two of the other judges and the spin off show host released their albums same day to compete with her (basically to stop her doing well) and will probably out sell her this week.
As a personality, Kelly has not had a successful run on the show with many thinking it was the biggest mistake as people loved her before they got to know her. She will not be back next year and has probably done more damaged to her image than good. This coming live performance is bound to be as shocking vocally and sex filled on a family show as all her recent performances.
