The problem with Kelly is not that she lacks talent. Clearly she's talented. The problem is not that she lacks star quality or that 'X' factor. Clearly she's a star with some form of appeal;she's been making music for over a decade,and has six years of solo stardom under her belt. The issue is not her looks. She's one of the most attractive women in the industry. In fact she's gorgeous. The issue is not her body. Her body is amazing (breast implants or not). The problem with Kelly is she spends more time 'big-upping' everyone else than she does herself. She's always talking about what an "incredible" manager Matthew is. She brags on Tina Knowles. At one point in time she couldn't make it through an interview without mentioning Beyonce's name. She even praises Solange for her song writing skills. She's always giving others props. She never gives herself enough credit for anything. Unfortunately,Kelly's most admirable quality is also her biggest draw-back. She really is humble. She doesn't just pretend to be. She's modest and even meek,but that sometimes makes her look passive and inhibited. Kelly has an incredible voice but she often holds back when she sings. Where as Beyonce does not have the best voice in the world but Beyonce is an uninhibited singer. She never holds back and she controls her voice well. Not to mention she has great showmanship. Kelly Rowland,in my opinion,is a raw performer. She's spontaneous which is both good and bad. Her performances are fun and at times passionate,While Beyonce's are more mechanical. EVERYTHING Beyonce does is rehearsed. Even her ballads are choreographed. Both these women have commonalities but they also have contrasts. One is,Beyonce has no problem taking all the credit. She had no problem taking it in DC and she certainly has no problem taking all of the limelight as a solo artist. Kelly needs to learn how to be a little self-centered. Make people respect you as a solo act by carrying yourself like a solo act. Stop referencing Destiny's Child. Don't mention anyone with the last name Knowles. Don't hold back on your craft,and don't let the audience sing more of your song than you do. If Kelly portrayed her self as a star maybe people would see her as a star. Then,maybe they'd buy her records and pay to see her in concert. No one wants to support someone who seems content playing second string all of the time.
