    Kelly is a lazy bum.

    • Chillin October 15, 2013

      where is Ciara again?

  2. IM A FREE B*TCH October 14, 2013

    she should have released a single when the X Factor started airing

    • IKNOWTHETRUTH October 14, 2013

      I know that’s right. Girl use this platform. No one really watches you to judge Kelly! We watch you to promote some great R&B/Pop/Crossover/Mainstream music to promote to the X-Factor crowd! Same thing her other girl group flop judge X-Factor mate Nicole should realize.

    • MARK October 14, 2013

      she might wait till live shows so she can perform it on x factor

      • Chillin October 15, 2013

        Exactly…If she released too early..she wouldnt have time to perform it…especially with all that pre-recording that had to do…

  3. jozi October 14, 2013

    of course she is ecstatic…she is finally the big star in a female trio.

  4. Overdose October 14, 2013

  5. ROSEGOLD October 14, 2013

    She really forgot about her album……typical Kelly.

  6. Timago October 14, 2013

  7. Black kupid October 14, 2013

    I think kelly just drops albums to be in cirulation(news) and 2 get her hands on as many deals she could snach cos she always far frm promoting. Xfactor is a good look 4 the though, cos she shines better. She semm 2 be the it girl of the show when compared to the othe 2 female judges

    • IKNOWTHETRUTH October 14, 2013

      I agree, I think Kelly has realized her albums are not for selling but more for press and promo opportunities. I think photo ops with Lala Anthony and fashion magazines and promoting her fitness brand have become her focus. I’m disappointed because I’m a diehard Destiny’s Child fan. This is where Beyonce has her beat, work ethic.

        @Black Kupid
        @IKNOWTHETRUTH

        I find it strange that you guys only says kelly doesn’t promote her albums. A week after Ciara dropped her album what did she do? What did K Michelle, Tamar and Brandy all do after a week or 2 of dropping their albums??? All these women r limited when it comes to pushing their albums. The label only give you so many platform nowadays to push your projects! I wish u ppl would stop judging and look at the business aspect of the industry oppose to blameing these artists not wanting to promote their albums they put months in!

      • Chillin October 15, 2013

        Thank you!!! @Thetruth

  8. iconic cici October 14, 2013

    Yawn this b**** beyond wack.

  9. Fabfenty October 14, 2013

    LOL LOL! Kelly is so pathetic. I feel sorry for her 15 fans. She always drops albums then pays them dust.

  10. christinastherealtalent October 14, 2013

    Im slowly losing respect for her. Every album she releases, she abandons after the first single. I get that she’s making bank on xfactor but make up your damn mind. Promote your music…if not dont’t release it and just stick to being a judge.

    Im also sick of people saying she’s underrated. Puh-lease Kelly aint even trying to have a music career.

    • The one (Tamar Stan) October 14, 2013

      But b**** who are you to talk when Xtina only dropped one single from Lotus than fell off the face of the earth. Xtina sloppy ass in the same boat as Kelly.

      • Fabfenty October 14, 2013

        Christina is more successful than the pug looking b**** you stan for sissie pooh

      • The one (Tamar Stan) October 14, 2013

        Girl sit down

  11. Yep! October 14, 2013

    i came over here to help with her comments …

    • The one (Tamar Stan) October 14, 2013

      How bout help her with them album sales sis.

      • Fabfenty October 14, 2013

        Not coming from a Tamar stan!!!

      • The one (Tamar Stan) October 14, 2013

        You should be worried about Miley taking your favs spot instead of worrying about Tamar stupid niggeer

  12. The one (Tamar Stan) October 14, 2013

    Idk why she released dirty laundry instead of freak or i remember… dirty laundry killed the era..

    • I see what youre saying but… October 14, 2013

      Yep!

      There was nowhere to go after that. All anyone was talking about was “jealousy” “battered spouse” and nothing about what a solid body of work she put together and how amazing her live vocals were this time around.

      The Dream (Bey stan) wrote a song (after B and J gave him the go ahead) that would put an end to Kelly solo efforts.

  13. IKNOWTHETRUTH October 14, 2013

    Kelly, girl, honey chile, diva, boo boo, what are you doing with this mess you call a career? Beyonce hasn’t dropped new s*** in forever and you had all the chances in the world to make this new era about you and ‘Talk A Good Game’ because there hasn’t been a new Beyonce album yet! Not since 2011. The fact that you didn’t take advantage of that disappoints me. Hell, you were even lazy in “Kisses Down Low”. “Ice” was a way better video. You should have been shot and released videos/singles for “Put Your Name On It”, “Down On Love”, and “You’ve Changed”. I feel like you just gave up after “Dirty Laundry” flopped. All that promo just stopped once the album came out. I feel like all you want to do is be a judge and fitness expert and maybe your heart isn’t in singing anymore. We can’t blame this one on Bey. The album lacked only one thing, tempo. You still could have pushed it. ‘4’ didn’t have a lot of tempo but B still pushed it platinum. If Tamar and K. Michelle can keep R&B going, Kelly can be apart of that. It really is a shame she doesn’t push her music anymore.

  14. Xtina warrior October 14, 2013

    Kelly music career really amounts to nothing shes always busy kissing beyflops ass… Smh Kelly can be just a big as beyonce she just doesn’t know how to push herself… Idk Kelly is a disappointment.

  15. Vixxxen October 14, 2013

    Kelly expected dirty laundry to be her breakout hit. She aimed for those sympathy sales. After it bombed, she said f*** it and went whale watching,

  16. I see what youre saying but… October 14, 2013

    But just wait until the live shows….

    Unless she learn something from the UK stint. All you’ve seen is the edited version of Kelly. We all loved that version in the UK but when she goes live and unfiltered?

    1. OTT & Uncharacteristically ghetto
    2. Did not connect with or listens to her acts.
    3. None of her crew have a clue about artist development and picking the right songs and image for her so how can she do it for someone else?
    4. She gave meaningless senseless critics.

    I see Paulina, that quite confidence. She sits back and lets y’all adore Kelly because she has her eye on the prize. She knows Kelly has no clue and will annoy the heck out of the viewers one live show at a time.

    I hope Kelly took note and plays it smart like Nicole. She stole Kelly hole swag but delivered when it came to composure, great critical comments, great mentoring and a obvious knack for reading how to present her acts to the public to make them popular not just talented.

      The downfall of her U K show was basically racism to be honest. It all started when she supported that black girl who was bullied on national TV by two white judges. From that time on the media and xfactor staff started to say untrue stuff about Kelly. Eg they said she went to Amelia Lilly’s town but refused to enter in the house choosing to stay at the hotel whilst her contestant was alone. That was not true because pictures of Kelly later surfaced when she was eating chicken with her contestant and her family. She took Amelia out and bought her stuff, but again they started to say she was trying to be too nice. She went to support Misha, (the black girl) at gay club. The press reported that she had chosen Misha over Amelia. The other white judge (Tulisa) did exactly the same thing, but she was called a supportive mentor for doing so. The only thing Kelly did wrong was probably calling in sick (ie if she wad not sick). Just last night Sharon Osborne refused to csst a voye against her contestants. No complaints so far. Kelly did the same and she was called names because Misha ended up surviving that night. I could go on and on. Yes, Kelly is lazy when it comes to promoting her music , which is really annoying because she is very talented. However, regarding xfactor UK, she was mistreated and her management did nothing to help her although she was on the right.
