K MJB is not dark skinned. She is as light skinned as Keyshia Cole. All those you mentioned, you're right but Aretha was a long time ago. Lauryn was about 10 years ago. I'm referring to now. Albums don't sell like they use to. Sex sells. If Kelly put out a video with her half-naked like her peers it would sell. But she never really went to that point.

A blog (not going to mention which but it's a top black blog at the moment) had some very very VERY negative comments on Kelly last year. Calling her a darkie and they don't like darkies so that's why they didn't buy it. It was sad to read.

All her singles except Ghetto were good single choices, Work for sure. People just didn't like them.
