It is with much excitement that I can confirm that That Grape Juice will be interviewing R&B star Kelly Rowland in Central London on Thursday. The interview has actually been something that’s been in the pipeline for several months now, so I’m real glad it’s come to fruition. With Kelly being a prominent feature on the site, I’m sure you have questions you’d want answered, so please do drop them in the comments section (as usual, only legit/reasonable questions will be considered). Thanks guys.
What advice do you have for young, hungry singer/songwriters that are trying to write for the big name artists out there and share their creativity abroad the music industry?
In an industry such as the one we have today, it’s hard for even the legends to survive. What is it that keeps you going and keeps you strong through it all? And what was the thought process behind re-releasing Ms Kelly and not just continuing to pursue and release singles/videos as it was?
What’s The Next Song You Gonna Release After Work & Daylight?
Why Didn’t You Include ” Gotsta Go ” As A Normal Album Track And Release It As Single Instead Of Including It As Bonus Track On The EU Cd..
with the re-release of the album, will there be any tours in the US?
Will she make a guest appearance on Michelle’s upcoming album?
What would be your marketing strategy this time around?
Why your solo career doesn’t work like your fans want? There’s a Knowles conspiracy?
First of all, Kelly, I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to you!! Miss Kelly is SUCH a great album, I listen to it over and over and over *-*
And I want to ask you: what artists influence you more in your work?
Once again, congrats 😀
How would you define your personal style?
Is dating hard for you? Meaning do you find that most guys want to date because they think You, Bey and Jay are going to go on a double date? or do you get the weirdo’s who say well your Kelly Rowland we should be driving your car?
Trebonique
Question:
The U.K. is arguably home to your most loyal fanbase, why do you think the UK is more appreciative of your music than the US?
Question!:
Can you tell something about the new tracks that are added to the re-release?
1) Is there any possibility of “The Show” being released? It is a HUGE fan favorite.
2) What do you have lined up as far as your acting career?
3) Are you able to divulge any details about your next single. If so are there any date (release, music video shooting, etc)?
4) Are you planning to release “Work” in the US? It will be HUGE if released.
THANK YOU!
KelendriaFans.com
BEST Kelly Rowland fansite on the net.
Ms.Kelly is definately a solid RnB album but unfortunately the sales did not reflect that? In the contemporary music industry climate, how well do you think the re-release will actually improve upon its current sales?
Any touring plans for the UK?
Work looks set to be a huge hit for you, possibly even number 1, you have to be pleased with that?
– Are you planning on releasing “Work” only in the UK, or are you planning on releasing it all over Europe?
– You’ve talked a lot about getting a place here in Europe especially London or Paris, is it still in your plans or do you feel like never leaving the US?
– How long are you staying here in Europe? Since you have great taste in fashion and that Tina Knowles, your designer for Destiny’s Child has worked with a lot of Haute Couture designers, are you heading to any of the Fashion Weeks that are going on right now ? What designers would inspire you as to creating music ?
– Everytime you’ve been asked about how much you surf on the internet, you’ve always answered that you weren’t too good at it — what can you say about it now? Do you visit music blogs like That Grape Juice (;) )to keep you updated on the music industry, or any of the fansite dedicated to YOU (kelly-rowland.net SHOUT OUT CELINE LOL)? Whenever you go on the internet, what do you do/look for when you’re online?
– What are you listening to right now? Like, what is YOUR song/album of the moment?
– If you’d have to pick one, what artist would you like to work with right now, and why?
Celine. 🙂

Hey Kelly!
I love Ms. Kelly and I think this re-release is a way to give another chance to people know this wonderful album.
What did the label think about you want to re-release it, at first moment?
Will the re-release bring some special features like a new booklet, a bonus dvd or something like that?
and… what is your favorite video on this ms. kelly period?
Thanks kelly, I wish you the best this year.
Leon
Hi…!, how are you?
Well, I got 3 questions for you Ms. Kelly Rowland:
1. Why don’t you release “Work” as a worldwide single, and not just in UK?
Cause everybody that listen to this song, start lovin’ it! The beat is crazy, and even my mother sing along…!
2. Do you think was a mistake release “Ghetto” as second single, comparing with the huge success of “Like This”?
3. What about Destiny’s Child? Can the fans wait for the return of this super-mega-hiper-group?
PS: I wrote a Portuguese Version for your single “Ghetto”, please check it on my MySpace page… (there’s on “About Me” session, and the other lyrics are on my MySpace Blog page… xD):
myspace.com/brunozone
I wish you luck in the new Ms. Kelly edition!
And, I loved “Daylight”!
Come to Brazil, make a performance…, please!
I’m sorry if my English is not good…, I’m learning… xD
Thank You…
I Love You…!
Bruno…
Beyond Eve, Snoop Dogg, Tank and Travis McCoy, the re-release of the album will feature another artists?
Will you use the 1st Ms. Kelly photoshoot, or a new one?
You have a very sultry, soothing RnB voice and girl I know you have range.
Do you plan to do any female RnB collaborations with maybe Alicia Keys, Mariah, Whitney or a new singer possibly your protegee Esmee?
-In your first solo album you made a tour around Europe, which unfortunetly weren’t released on DVD. That, somehow, made it difficult for your fans in other parts of the world to get to know more yours solo performance on stage. Could we wait for a live DVD of a possible tour for Ms. Kelly?
hey kelly i wanted to know is you dating r&b singer tank
1.) Has she started thinking about ideas for her next album?
2.) When and who is she touring with?
3.) Will “Still In Love With My Ex” or “The Show” ever become singles?
4.) Will she be attending/performing at the “Grammy’s” this year?
I just want to highlight these questions, i really wish you to ask them:
Will you use the 1st Ms. Kelly photoshoot, or a new one? [2]
Beyond Eve, Snoop Dogg, Tank and Travis McCoy, the re-release of the album will feature another artists? [2]
what are da Names of the new tracks? [2]
OMG you are going to interview kelly rowland… im so jelous XD…
i love her…
well you could ask her : is she planing to change the label soon?
who has the best voice in the music industry
Kelly how many new songs will be on the re-release? would you ever consider releasing the other version of still in love wit my ex?
Why did you make a re-release instead a new album?
Hey Kelly!
1st of all… do you feel like a re-release is really necessary? I mean, girl, Ms Kelly got serious heat IMO. What exactly are you bringing to the table this time around that we haven’t seen yet?
The 2nd question is… there’s been rumours that you’d be featured in the new Asterix movie, then rumours about you on “Mama, I Want To Sing”… is there any real acting plans for you right now? (if there’s none, there SHOULD be cause you are a good actress o/)
3rd question… you’ve done some catwalks, you’ve done acting, you’re a popstar… but is there anything you haven’t done artistically that you would like to do? Writing, painting or the like?
Now, this is a mean question… I hope you don’t kill me lol.
How do you feel about LeToya’s solo success, honestly? I mean, chick’s been slandered real bad by you & B and now she has a solo #1 album attached to her name. Do you feel pressured?
This Paulo from Brazil and I’d like to say that, in spite of anything, I love you and your voice is beautiful and has inspired me beyond belief. Thank you Lord for blessing Kelly Rowland with talent and for making her share it with us all.
Who’s album’s are you most anticipating in 2008?
Are you anticipating Whitney, Mariah or Janet the most???
Do you prefer singing solo, or as part of Destiny’s Child?
Do you prefer the blokes here in Britain or the American boys???
Can you please ask her one of these questions because i really really love her!!!
I love your album Ms Kelly! I would like to know if you plan to make a European Tour and passed by Geneva ?
Are you planning to release a DVD Live?
Is it possible that one day you plan to make gospel music ?
I actually just wanted to tell you congrats on landing a big interview!
First, well done Sam for lining up this one, it’s a good look for u.
My question for Kelly is a pretty obvious one – Is there actually going to be a Destiny’s Child reunion? Or is it just a really great Rumor?
Thanks
kelly, that single with you and Tank was hot. I think if this single would have got air play it would have been a huge hit. Hang in there Kelly I believe it will happen for you because you can sing.
Please ask Kelly “With all the previous song you made they seemed to be more on the R-N-B side, your new single Daylight is more of a pop verison. Is that the musicall direction that you plan to continue with?”
hi kelly, i wanted to know that if you plan on working with any punk rock groups, such as paramore, in the near future. Also, DO YOU PLAN ON RELEASING A LIVE DVD
THATGRAPEJUICE LOOK AT THIS 1..
UR ENGLISH.. well u no da song heartbroken by T2 Ft Jodie and she recently sed she wud lyk 2 work wid dem.. has she tlked to em about working in da future?and hu she got on da re release on her new album?
have you thought about leaving your label?
congrats on getting an interview with kelly. [=
first offi would like to say that kelly i love you.
okay but i wanted to know if you plan on releasing a live concert dvd of one of your intimate shows?
i also wanted to know when are you going to tour(make sure you hit up dc/va)?
what is the official re-release date in the uk, will there be any more uk tour dates, and can we expect any more collaborations?
1. In a recent interview you were asked that if you could give a one way ticket to the moon to anyone who would it be? You’re first response was if you could use it for yourself. Why would you want a one way ticket to the moon? Are you so unhappy with your life that you want to leave and never come back?
2. I heard that you recently said at a concert that you recently had been thinking about leaving the music industry. Why did you want to leave and are you still having these feelings? We the fans love you so much and never want you to give up music.
3. When was the last time you cried and why did you cry?
4. Are there any nerdy things that you like?
5. What is your number 1 favorite article of clothing that you own?
6. If you could only keep 1 pair of shoes and 1 bag which would you keep?
7. What is the last movie you saw?
8. If you were only allowed to keep 1 cd out of your entire music collection which one would you keep?
9. Have you ever been depressed and have you ever felt that you did not want to live anymore? If so, what was the situation that made you feel this way?
10. Have you ever been sick to your stomach during a performance?
What do you think about the current state of r&b music right now? Do you like more contemportay r&b or Neo-Soul or are you strictly a pop person? Do you feel pressure with your album to work with the hot producers and the songwriters to make your careet a sucess?
How has the lack of support for the album ‘Ms. Kelly’ effected your personal life and your career as a solo artist? Btw ‘Daylight’ is a hot record!!
Please dont ask her any questions about Destiny’s Chlld or Beyonce!
WELL SO FAR UR THE ONLY ONE SPOILING THE PARTY SO SHUT UP!!!!!!!!
Is Daylight being released in the UK as the single to launch the re-release? If not, what is?
Have you deeply and personally discussed a Destiny’s Child come back with Michelle or Beyonce? If so, what issues arised?
Following the Ms. Kelly re-release, do you have any future career plans in music? Any musical direction you’d like to take or any certain artists you’d like to work with?
From your interviews you always come across as a happy, kind and polite person, but did you lose your cool with your label after their little promo for your album? I would.
Do all the fans begging you to leave your label ever affect your decisions in the music industry?
Have you been in close contact with Solange and Michelle on their latest solo projects?
Hey Ms. I’m here again 😀
You know a lot of people (your fans most of the times) think that your career is manipulated and don’t like the fact that you are managed by Mathew Knowles. Do you feel pressured by your FANS about that?
And if you could, what would you change in them… like the comparisons, their vision of you inside Destiny’s Child etc?
Thanks ThatGrapeJuice and congrats Kelly for the wonderful artist you are.
Leon
Kelly, Would You Like to come back to the group Destiny’s Child with Michelle and Beyoncé again? is it possible?
– What do you think is your “comeback” as an artist ? (That lil thing that make us come back for more)
– Can we expect you to go back to your alternative/Pop-Rock influences for your next album ? (Maybe a collabo with Fallout Boy or OneRepublic :p….)
– As we heard that you wanted to work with them previously. Is there any chances to see you work with big producers like Kanye, Timbaland & Pharell for your next project ? What about Nelly ?
1 Will Still in Love With My Ex ever be a single
2. a confirmed US release date
3. Is ur label gonna really back u up this go around
4. Do you ever feel like switching management
and make sure u management keeps u booked t.v shows performances radio calls all of it ..
Hi,Ms Kelly,the most beautiful and simple girl in the world….we all know that you’re a true fan of Sade !I wanted to know if you plan on working with her or her musicians,in the near future (for your next album)to create your personal and own sound?
Ms. Kelly,
Do You think already to go to Brazil in a world Tour solo or in group(Destiny’s Child)? Could this happen?
just please dont ask any questions that ppl dont care about like “what is ur influence” weve heard it all BEFORE! or we’re going to here it in the future… this is a 1nce in a lifetinme oppurtunity… CASH IT OUT!!!
– where is the comeback music video
-next single after work and daylight, and when is the music video going to be out.

PLEASE CHOOSE THESE LOL
Kelly, is there gonna be a video for the single ”COMEBACK”?
Kelly, do you also miss being with Destiny’s child or you enjoy being ur own independent Woman?
Regards, GLYNN
Hey Kelly .. I Love you!!!
My question:
Which DC song that you’ll never performed you really wanna perform in the future?
Which Kelly song that you’ll never performed you really wanna perform in the future?
I have a question to ya that I’ve wanted to know for such a long time.
On the two firsts albums of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé sang all the verses on the musics. Did you ever argue with her about this? Did you ever be like “I’m as talented as you are so why can’t I sing this verse?”?
Love you and love Miss Kelly. Can’t stop listen to it.
And please, please, please, make a video for Love, even if it won’t become a single.
Thank you
Kiss and hug

(tell her to leave columbia and join jive)
QUESTION:
KELLY WE SEEN YOU IN HORROR AND LOVE MOVIES BUT ARE YOU PLANNING ON WORKING ON OTHER MOVIES AND WHAT KIND OF MOVIES DO WANT TO DO???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
QUESTION:
KELLY HOW MANY MORE ALBUMS WILL YOU MAKE UNTIL DESTINY’S CHILD REUNITE??????????
Congratulations on getting to interview Kelly – that’s wicked news!
My questions are:
Hey Kelly, congratulations on a wonderful album!
1. Was there a video for “Comeback” filmed, like it was rumoured. If it was shot is there any chance we’ll get to see it? Also will it still be a single?
2. The UK have heard that the re-release of “Ms. Kelly” (which was my album of the year last year!) will be out on 10th March. Do you have any idea what the lead UK single will be?
Best of luck with the re-release Kelly – would love to see “Still In Love With My Ex” as a single? “Love” is also amazing!
Alex
Do you want to make a dvd?
If do you have a tour, you would in Brazil?
In Brazil, there are many fans of her music
What do you think of the current state of music? (particularly R&B)
What music are you looking forward to in 2008? (From which artists etc..)
Who do you think this will be a big year for? (How do you think the big hitters will fair?)
Ask Kelly if she will release Still In Love With My Ex as a U.S. single?
Oh I forgot ask if Comeback will be released since a video was shot for it. So, ask if Comeback & Still In Love With My Ex will be U.S. singles?
Hey Kelly,
I know this is a random question, but I’ve wondered if you and the ladies ever considered making a music video for “Through With Love” — and if you did, what do you think it’d be like? All the fans wanted that to be a single just to get a video for it. I think it’d be an amazing video. What about you?
Thanks,
Vinny.
release two singles at the same time or one when the album is released. still in love with my ex is def a song that can be a huge hit!! do it kelly
Hi Kelly!
I’m from Brazil and I must say that I admire you very much! I love you!
I liked very much your new album and especially the track “Still In Love With My Ex”, which must be a single!
I would like to ask what you think about coming to another countries like Brazil. You’re making a considerable sucess here, and my question is: What do you think about Brazil? Do you have any plans about coming here?
My best wishes to you!
Have you ever thought about record a song in other languages? I would love a Kelly Rowland’s spanish song… 😉
Kelly, you go to Brazil / 2008 ?
Kiss
Hey Ms. Kelly,
I love your music, your acting skills and your voice.
Have you ever thought about a remake? Let’s say of something like ‘Do Me Baby’ or something sultry and s***. With your voice, that would be awesome.
Also, I think with your talent, you would mix well with someone like Timbaland and/or Rodney’Darkchild’ Jerkins. Have you thought about working with producers of this nature?
Ms Kelly,
I Loved Your CD & I Was Wondering What Is Gonna Be A Big Difference Between This CD & The Original Ms. Kelly.
Also You Stated That The My Story Was Pushed Back Because It Was Filed With Too Many Slow Kinda Songs BUT Ms Kelly Had A Majority Of Slower Songs & I Was Wondering If The Re-Release Will Have A Different Vibe.
And Last Ur Performance In Japan…I Believe It Was There Of Gotsta Go Was Great & I Was Wondering What Happened After That Performance Because We In America Never Got A Performance Like That From U.
Hey Kelly!!! I Miss you so much!
1)What did you get for Christmas?
2)What are you going to do for your birthday?
3)If you could only listen to two songs for the rest of your life what would they be?
4)How’s Lonny(with his s*** self!)?
5)When will you do another audio blog?
6)How come the team is playing with Still in Love With my Ex?!!? The song was charting on Itunes top 100..RELEASE IT!!!
7)Do you still live in Miami?
8)What’s the latest Paula Deen recipe you’ve made?That Cheeseburger meatloaf is off the chain ain’t it?!?!
9)I have to say that you are one of the sweetest people that I’ve ever met, inside and out and it’s so GENUINE. What keeps you grounded in a business like this?
10)Do ya know how much your fans love you?!!? WE ARE READY TO GO HARD!!!
Do you intend to tour the UK? If so, would you be doing arenas or numerous smaller venues around the country?
No big international artists come to the South coast, so I’d love to see you do Southampton or Bournemouth
Question:
I absolutely Lovde the Work video!Who was the creative mind behind the Work video (who choreographed it and did Kelly contribute ideas as well)?
What will be extra special about the rerelease to encourage fans(including the fickle ones) to buy it).
Hello Kelly.
– You said that “My Story” didn’t see the light of the day because there was too many midtempos and ballads.
Now ou are re-releasing “Ms. Kelly” for the same reasons…
Then why didn’t you include directly more uptempo songs on the first version ?
– What happened with the single releases ? You said once that you’d love to release “Sill In Love With My Ex” as your 3rd single with a good storyline video. Then there was rumors that “Comeback” would be released… It was quite confusing.
– According to lots of people’s reviews, it seems like “Work” was a huge instant favorite. Don’t you think it would have been more profitable for the album to release it as your 2nd single ?
– Any new plans concerning a tour ? Are you going to promote more the album in Europe and maybe tour there ?
I here alot of questions about the Comeback video! Please ask her if a video was really shot and if it will be included on the release! Also could she reveal a little something about the video. That would be great!
– How many new songs will you include on the re-release ?
– Is March 10th the release date ?
– Is there going to be any bonus dvd or extra features ?
– Are you going to change the album cover or modify the artwork ?
Question:
Does she agree that going to another record label would be a bad idea considering the fact that alot of major record labels today are not promoting alot of talented artists on their label?
What’s her thoughts on why her record label didn’t support her CD the first time around esp. since it kept getting pushed back? Plus What are her and her record label’s plans to make this album get the recognition and successs it deserves.
I know this isn’t a question but I wish Kelly alot of success with the rerelease and alot of the loyal fans admire Kelly for wanting to continue music esp. considering all that she’s had to endure in her career. We appreciate Ms.Kelly and her music.
QUESTION:
KELLY WILL YOU MAKE A VIDEO ANTHOLOGY LIKE BEYONCE
AND ARE YOU PLANNING ON RELEASING STILL IN LUV WITH MY EX AND THE DANJA TRACK AS SINGLES??????????
1) There are rumours that the release date is April 1st for the US which is also the date for Mariah’s Album release. Dont you think this is risky. Why didnt the label release on a weekend where there were no other big names?
2) Dont you think that March/April is too long a wait for an album that we have been listening to for a year? Why not get the the rerelease out of the way quickly so you can move on to your next project?
Will the Ms Kelly be rereleased internationally (besides US and UK)? As if so will there be any more single releases internationally?
is “bad habit” going to be on the rerelease??? its a great song and very popular w/ DC fans as well as MS. KELLY fans. please consider it.
what other goals/plans do you have besides your singing career: own a business, write for other artist, etc? How long do you see yourself in 5 years?
America nor song bmg/columbia aint doing nothing for you. Would you ever consider going over to a country where you and your music and appreciated and loved? The UK i.e.!!!
America nor song bmg/columbia aint doing nothing for you. Would you ever consider going over to a country where you and your music are appreciated and loved? The UK i.e.!!!

Why does Destiny’s child keep claiming to be the best selling female group of all time when The Dixie Chicks is and when it comes to the urban genre TLC is?
^^^SMH The world keeps calling DC the best selling female group of all time because they are. TLC and Dixie Chicks? LMAO R u kidding? You obviously didn’t watch the WMA’s when DC was awarded as the best selling female group of all time. That’s a FACT. Get over it. Seriously. SMH
KELLY IS LIGHTING UP UK THIS DAYZZZZ…………………I LOVE U
