Our girl Kelly Rowland took to the stage at last night’s Miss Universe ceremony in the Caribbean to perform her worldwide smash ‘When Love Takes Over’ with David Guetta.
While Kelly’s stage presence was on fire, I can’t say the same for the vocals…at all, which at times were glaringly off-key and shaky . As a long-time and continued fan of Ms. Kelly, it goes without saying that she can do so MUCH better. However, consistency seems to be a small issue with the former Destiny’s Child star; most of her performances this year have been awesome, yet every so often there will be that one that kinda reminds me of some of the awkward live solo showings from prior to the ‘Ms. Kelly’ LP.
Whether this all means Kelly needs to put more work in with her vocal coach or mix a bit of live and pre-recorded vocals (which the likes of Michael Jackson (RIP), Beyonce etc all do – after all performers are still humans with limitations), I don’t know. But with a new album on the horizon, and a lot to prove to the masses, Kelly’s gonna need to be serving up consistently good performances. She can do it…now she needs to show she can do it.
What do you think of the performance?
