That Grape Juice was on hand at VH1 Divas 2012 last night, chatting it up with many a star on the purple carpet.
One of the divas we caught up with was ‘Ice’ singer Kelly Rowland, quizzing the Grammy winner on the follow-up to the Lil Wayne assisted cut.
Watch above as Ms. Kelly coyly dishes on the second release to be lifted from her forthcoming ‘Year Of The Woman’ LP.

Why even bother if it takes her a year to make a music video and never promotes the song?
I’ve yet to see a. live performance of ice -_-

Im sooo excited And I think Kelly should leave it as is I am a long time fan and the best Kelly songs are always by herself. Yess collabs does give lots of hype and buzz Butt quality wise her best songs are truly the ones she has made on her own. Turn it up, Bad habit, Better without you, Heaven and earth, Feeling me right now, Just a minute away, Unity, Love Again.. is better than Ice, lay it on me, motivation ect..
If it all else fails make a remix!! But please try it on your own. For the first time in her career I want Kelly to absolutely SURE of herself! No 2nd thoughts.

who cares!!! she has already proven that she is not a solo artist. she cannot sing live, she’s boring, she doesn’t promote and her singles are lackluster. i see why beyonce always stood out because she is a star. kelly rowland is not! even michelle williams is better at least she can sing live!!!!

Honestly I pray she lets Ice go & call it a promo single or whatever because that shouldn’t of been the 1st single honestly that was more of a 3 or 4 single..
I pray this next single she PROMOTES it and SLAYS Worldwide !

Kelly sucks. I was rooting for her when Motivation dropped, but she always seems to fall short!!! Ice sounds like a watered down Motivation and it’s a huge flop. Kelly needs to seriously sit down and reevaluate her career because people aren’t interested.

I’ve supported Kelly since DC & right now after that lack luster performance last night I really don’t give a danm no more about her music or her upcoming projects! It’s almost like she doesn ‘t care so why should her fans.The only thing thats really saving her is her looks. Thats it! Honestly she has definitely lost a fan! I’m so tired of cheering this chic on and she disappoints every time with her live performances…

I loved me some Beyonce, Kelly & Michelle but Kelly does not BRING IT like she should!! I was extremely disappointed in how they handled the Here I Am era, and it looks like they will handle YOTW in the same manner. Kelly needs to get it together! Michelle has been slaying her recent performances, and we all know that Bey is in her own category. But Kelly just seems to not care! Why even waste her/our time by releasing another single and album with NO promo?

And you have proven that you are a dumb fuck
Kelly has proven that she can get Grammys solo, Have a #1 solo, star in a movie “seat filler”, and have a pilot show on tv, while your faves can’t get a roll or a sing on the radio. Kelly’s “flop” outsold most of her peers. Billboard top rnb song on 2011 was not by King B, it was Ms Kelly honey

Look. Kelly girl, you are over 30 years old! You’ve had enough chances to try and make a strong solo name for yourself and failed. You are not 25 girl. Singing about gettin fucked in a window seal. I can’t! Ice, Motivation are good enough songs that should have went to younger up in coming Female and male homosexual R&B singers. Imagine Ice by Teirra Mari or Teyanna Taylor. Instead they give money and good music to this old woman who needs to hang it up! That goes for all you commercial failures! Got the struggling music industry wasting money on old used up flops instead of investing money into younger more commercially viable singers.
That doesn’t mean put all your eggs in one basket assuming they will smash ala Rita Flopwhora. I cannot believe the amount of money they put into her project for her not even scan 500k yet. Yikes!

Kelly is such a fucking flop that it’s disgusting. Her music is cheesy booty call music and she can’t even control her vocals live. She sounds like shes rolling around in a washing machine when shes singing live. Maybe she needs to stick to being beyonces back up dancer because she sucks and her second single will flop like Ice. Fucking nasty vile FLOPPPP!!!

WTF
December 17, 2012 at 6:27 pm
I DO NOT WANT R&B from her!! I know she reads this blog so I hope she or her sorry ass team read this and do better for her.
“Turn it up” “Each other” where stand outs and had hit single written all over them. I had even staged and choreographed her performance to a mash up of the two instead of that awful thing she did on X Factor.
The reason I say this is because there was something so new age disco about those tracks that had Kelly LIVING on those beats in a way she never has before. She had a chance to create her own sound and dominate her own lane like she did for a second with David Guetta.
Now. Now she wants to market herself R&B shaping herself like the R&B chick with the fat ass to gain the attention or approval of a certain market. The R&B lovers have that girl who performed the Whitney tribute last night and the two who came back from claiming “that by is mine” only to find that the R&B MARKET WOULD RATHER NOT PAY FOR THEIR MUSIC!! It may be generalising but it is fact. Our community do not legitimately support their artists, they’ll download leaks and say “thank you ma’am” and it it moving.
Look at Rihanna. Out here sounding a fool for most of her career, but after 7 years of being bashed, she’s working on her live vocal dropped her Banji thickness in favour of a European body (the body Kelly once had) and…. BOOM…. in that same year, she gets her 1st US #1. But Kelly is ass backwards. After 15yrs she’s still struggling with the live vocal. Yet wants to give you R&B. I do not want R&B records from someone with a limited none lifeless vocals, the people who BUY music do not want to buy that and will not buy it from someone with blah vocal performances. They will, however, come out their pockets if they admire, connect with or are captivated by you.
So that leaves the question. Does Kelly have the personality to get peoples attention, the vocal to gain respect and admiration and the material to captivate or inspire? If she does, then she can go make what ever music she wants. But she doesn’t so until she does I want her to be dedicated (boot camp style) to reaching her full vocal potential and the confidence to command a stage and an audience without being upstaged and out sung by the likes of Tulisa, Keri Hilson, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.

Keep your “R&B with no features that I know of” single. Nobody here for it, unless you stole a real sangers vocal box for that session..and plan on using it every time you perform live.

Kelly I know you aint in no competition with ya sister and all that but please stop hyping up your fans and then letting them down it looks so lazy! You either need to go all out or just don’t bother. Do you think Beyonce would wait that long to release a video for a new single HELL TO THE FUCKING NO! Which is why nobody can blame her for Kellys misfortune because Kellys proved shes half hearted, Beyonce is passionate, competative and determined even still now she got a kid! Kelly just doesn’t have that fire in her. I get the feeling she is comfortable where she is, fine. But girl thats not enough when you have people rooting for you. You shouldve kept your ass on X Factor UK panel you were building up a nice reputation over there!

Now, I’m rocking with ICE…but she sucked at promoting the video/single. Damn, if I didn’t stalk her life, then I wouldn’t have known about it….jk. seriously though….get it together!

Tulsa cannot sing if her like depended on it. Keri is good vocally but her stage
performance is lacking. Like I said on a another bogs Kelly
and Adam Lambert were exciting and entertaining to watch
on Divas. Kelly have proven that she can sell albums and singles,
plus win Grammy s Alicia Keys is a prime example she is on
the level on Beyonce , but her album is selling slowly.
