Kelly Rowland is an amazing singer. THAT is why people are so critical of her. We know the girl has talent. We also know that the girl is not using her talent to it's fullest potential and though that's not all her fault, that is frustrating to those of us who want to see Kelly do well. The fact is the MTV Africa performance was weak. This is not her worst performance but it doesn't even come close to her best. Those of us who have been following Kelly throughout her career (with DC as well as solo) have seen what she can do. We expect the best from her because she is one of the best. She can actually sing unlike alot of todays pop acts and she releases quality albums,unlike alot of todays pop acts. However,Kelly has yet to show the world what she's really about as a performer. What would it be like to see Kelly live (as a solo artist)? How would we know,she's never had a high profile solo tour;but if the above performances are the extent of what Kelly can do I wont be going to see her in concert. I love Kelly but if I'm going to pay money to see you I'd better get my money's worth. Sound needs to be right. Vocals need to be on point. Costumes need to be sensible for the location (why would you wear a three piece suit in 350 degree weather?). The right choices need to be made. I've heard Kelly say that she doesn't visit blogs or read the comments that are posted,but I'm sure she has hired hands that do. Kelly knows what people are saying. She may not always like it but she's going to have to accept it and deal with it. We are entitled to our opinions;ESPECIALLY if we support you and I have always supported Kelly. I can't keep supporting someone who doesn't appear to want to get better at her craft or take responsibility for her lackluster career. It's time for change Kelly. "Go hard" or go home. I hope you choose to go hard because I want to see more of you but not under these circumstances.
