i think gaga is the only along with Beyonce who sounds better live than the studio version! those 2 women are the best performers this generation and arguably best voices and most talented! Kelly…i preferred your graham norton performance of this song,it was much much better. but still good,and idk why but i just get weak when it comes to jesie j,i never play her music :/ but i know she has a nice voice,saw her US X factor performance !

[...] Kelly Rowland performs “Down For Whatever” at Children In Need concert. Kelly Rowland rocked the house in Manchester Evening News Arena as she performed her single “Down For Whatever” for the 2011 BBC Children In Need Rocks Manchester benefit concert. Backed up by male dancers, Kelly did some of her sexy moves as she hypes up the crowd with her song. She breaks into a few dance numbers following her chorus but leaves the heavy lifting to her back-up dancers as she continues singing. Kelly finishes the performance with a standing ovation from the crowd. The BBC Children In Need is BBC’s UK corporate charity which aims to help disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. Sharing the stage with Kelly Rowland are Lady Gaga, JLS, Coldplay, and Jessie J to name a few. “Down For Whatever” is a song from Kelly Rowland’s third studio album, Here I Am. [Source] [...]

Kelly did an amazing job.She had a lot of energy and stage presence.She’s a real solo act now
GaGa on the other hand didn’t entertain me at all.Cheesy and dated choreography, bad outfit, awful hair and weak staging…This performance pretty much showed to me that she can’t be interesting, let alone amazing, when she’s performing an uptempo song without a big production…

Lady gaga & beyonce never sing live u are saying the 2 are the best live singer becos they never sing live.

to know that a person is singing live u can hear them breath And if they don’t mean they are not singing live.
Hater beyonce & lady gaga are rarely singing live
I saw lady gaga singing live once, what a catastrophe & beyonce singing in jimmy the other day it is not live at all.
So praise a singer when they sing live.
Kelly Rowland did a nice job singing & dancing.
Woah.
Hater fall back & praise.

bey’s rep as the best performer of this generation is sealed, no competition. If u think she doesnt sing live, somn must be wrong with ur ears. Go watch her tour dvd. So she’s lippin n somehow able to make comments randomly n breathe into d mic too. Outta sight hater outta sight
