R&B singer Kelly Rowland is set to star in NBC’s ‘Clash of The Choirs’ special airing throughout the holiday season. The show pits Rowland against stars such as Patti Labelle and Michael Bolton to create a choir that will go head to head with the other choirs led by artists on the show. It looks pretty interesting and it’s good to see Kelly still keeping her name out there.
Will you be tuning into ‘Clash of the Choirs’?
R. Kelly’s publicist Regina Daniels, who worked for the singer for 14 years, has announced her decision to end all ties with him – effective immediately. See her press statement below:
“I have prided myself on loyalty, respect and professionalism. It saddens me that I was not always shown those same courtesies during my 14-year tenure as Mr. Kelly’s publicist … There are some lines that should never be crossed professionally or personally. Mr. Kelly crossed a line that forever altered the scope of our relationship. For this reason I made the decision to resign.” {Source}
After a difficult few months, things appear to be looking up for Kelly Rowland. It has been confirmed that the ‘Like This’ singer is set to film the video for what is believed to be the first single from the revamped ‘Ms. Kelly’ album (due early 2008). The shoot will be for the track ‘Daylight’, which features Gym Class Heroes, and will be filmed in the coming weeks. {Source}
Will you be checking for Kelly this time around?
It has been confirmed that singer Kelis has been released her record label Jive. The ‘Milkshake’ singer saw the most success with her 2003 album ‘Tasty’, however her most recent effort, 2006′s ‘Kelis Was Here’, didn’t fare too well on the charts. “She’s a different kind of artist — very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t” said her manager Jeff Rabhan. He went on to confirm that she is currently shopping around for a new ‘non-traditional’ deal. {Source}
Kelly Rowland touched down in London yesterday for a series of PA’s across the city. She first performed a set at EA’s ‘Be The One – X League’ event last night in Trafalgar Square.
In what seems like more bad news for Kelly Rowland and her fans, speculation is mounting that the singer’s recently announced North American tour has been axed. More and more dates have steadily been cancelled with the most recent being shows in Seattle, San Fransisco and Hollywood. {Source} What if there left to say with this whole Kelly situation? It’s a mess, I know, she knows, everybody knows. Still, I believe in her talent and potential, so will continue to support. At this stage, I doubt a re-release is worth anyones time – the ‘Ms. Kelly’ tag seems kinda tainted. She’d be better off dropping a new album early next year. If Rihanna can release album’s every 6 months, I don’t see why Kelly, who is much more talented IMO, can’t.
Your thoughts?
VH1′s annual Hip Hop Honors show aired in the US yesterday (October 8th). Among those recognized for their contributions to Hip Hop was rapper/producer Missy Elliot. Tweet, Timbaland, Eve, Keyshia Cole and Ciara performed an awesome medley of Elliot’s hits. It kinda served as a reminder of what a great talent Missy is and how much she has pushed the boundaries in Urban music.
What do you think of the performance?
It has been confirmed that fan and critic favourite ‘Still In Love With My Ex’ will be the next single to be lifted from Kelly Rowland’s sophomore effort ‘Ms. Kelly’. The single will precede the forthcoming album re-release which her label have announced will hit stores ‘Early 2008′. Producers JR Rotem (‘All Eyez On Me’, ‘SOS’) and Danja (‘Gimme More’, ‘My Love’), as well as rapper Lil’ Wayne are slated to feature on the re-vamped set. {Source} (Thanks Yunstar!)
