Kelly Rowland continues to spread her wings on the international front, this time in China. The singer performed a full concert at ‘Hennessy Artistry’ for her Asian fans and was joined on stage by popular Chinese act Jackie Cheung. Among the songs performed by Rowland were ‘Emotions’, ‘Bootylicious’, ‘Dilema’ and ‘When Love Takes Over’.
Her vocals we’re still off. She needs a vocal rest. I have heard much better from her, but it wasn’t ‘that’ bad.
Grrr… im a BIG Kellz fan.. but i have to be honest. This is boring and uninspiring
You can’t say she isn’t taking her carear my the horns nows she’s out from under mr.knowles
that was horrible lmao kelly does not have it to be a solo star,
not to mention her vocals are horrible live
how she gon headline her own shows like this
I dont know what ya’ll expect from her. Right now everything she is doing, she is doing it on her own, there is no label money behind her so you aren’t going to see some big display with dancers everywhere. You are n’t going to see a big production, I know she has a lot of money but I dont blame her for not spending it. When she starts promoting her new album, THEN expect a big production. I do believe that she needs to rest her vocals. I wish she would just do her album until she’s finishd and then do the self promo because singing the studio flying here and there for photoshoots and performances and then going back into the studio is really wearing on her voice and the quality of her performances, although i do like the ones posted. I ain’t mad at her though. Get your money Kelly!
I think her vocals sound brilliant , especially on the ballads, so good to see Ms Kelly taking on the world on her own with no one told her back, her next album is gonna be FIRE!!!
P.S. her vocals aren’t horrible live. I’m a DC fan also so i’ve heard her MANY times deliver. So get it right because if you know anything about DC then you know All THREE of them can deliver live!
I’m really startin to get tired of this girl unconsistent performances. She has never had a performance that has ‘wowed’ me in her THIRTEEN years of career. Either its good (not ‘wow’), okay (most of the time) or just bad (which happens a lot too). I love this girl but if she cant prove that she got IT then….im sorry and it really makes me sad coz I really DO LOVE HER a lot believ it or not and she has to come really HARD this time around if she wants proper recognition. She’s a sweet girl but just tellin it like it is. Even Michelle has wowed more than once (see Do you know Live in Atlanta)
Kelly, hope you read this. You’ve bn in this game for so long so you cud be doing so much better. Keep pushing and working on whatever that keeps u from being an AMAZING singer. Love you! <3
All she needs is better lighting and some back-up dancers. What is Ms. Kelly thinking she can run a green mile from one end of the stage to the other and be entertaining???? Pre recorded vocals (like Beyonce) wouldnt hurt either especially if you’re running laps. Its as if she doesnt look at her shows afterwards to improve!!! Football teams do it Kelly should to..and I pray she reads this blog I wish the best for her…….
i thought this was an awesome performance, she looked and sounded great, could have done without the Micheal jacket though but she still rocked d stage loved it.
Big Kelly fan but this was a mess I agree with the comment that her performances are inconsistent and if u cant sing and dance keep yo behind still (J.Hud, Rihanna, Whitney) is she serious wit that HUGE venue and those terrible vocals!!!!!She shoulda took this rare opportunity and SHUT IT DOWN!!!Plus it was very boring…Im very disappointed
hot!!!!!!!!
i love kelly!!!!
How many people are at this concert? I think she worked the stage well but her vocals were seriously lacking. It’s clear her voice sounds tired but it’s not good. She need to seriously rest her voice and work on t hose vocals. She sounds a mess on ‘when love takes over and her duet with jackie.
come on Kelly!
i’d much rather see beyonce and ciara perform. i think kelly is forcing her voice and that’s not good. in addition she’s boring
FIRST THING, ASIAN AUDIENCES ARE ONE OF THE WORST FOR A WESTERN BASED ARTIST CUZ THEY SUCK IN AUDIENCE RESPONSE AND PARTICIPATION. THEY MAKE ANY WESTERN ARTIST DIE IN A SEA OF CRICKETS – THE TRUTH! EVEN IF IT’S MJ THEY WOULD ACT THE SAME. TOTALLY BORRRRRING!!!! 2ND, ROLAND WAS BORING AND UNINSPIRING VOCALS. DAMN, JACKY CHEUNG WAS BETTER AND HE’S LIKE 50 NOW. YOU CAN TELL SHE DIDNT REHEARSE THIS SONG ALL THAT MUCH AND WAS SCREWING UP THE LYRICS. CHEUNG HAS SUNG THIS SONG A MILLION TIMES IN HIS CAREER. THEIR VOICES JUST DONT COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER. CHEUNG IS A POP SINGER AND ROLAND AN RNB SINGER JUST DONT MATCH!!! THE TONE DONT MATCH EITHER. YILCH!!!!!!!!!
Poor Kelly!
Beyonce is really the only artist that can run on stage a still sound GOOD!
This seemed quite lacklustre and just lacked any kind of wow factor. The DC songs fell flat and having seen Beyoncé perform them theres no comparasion.
I love DC as a collective and solo but this was well and truly sub-par.
OMG! KELLY! PLEASE GET ON A TREADMILL AND DO YOUR SINGING SCALES! PLEASE!!! THIS CHIC GETS WINDED SO EASILY! IS SHE ASTHMATIC OR SOMETHING?! TRUST A TREADMILL AND A GOOD VOCAL AND BREATHING INSTRUCTOR CAN FIX THAT! GEEZE…SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE…SHE JUST HAS TO LEARN TO USE HER LUNGS!!! DAMN! IT GOT A NASALY TOWARDS THE END….
he vocals abilitys are very bad….
In destinys child she was so good but now?!
HER VOCALS ARE A BIG PROBLEM TO ME NAHHHH – SERIOUS!
With her experience she needs to come harder than that – no, im not impressed!
Her runs are not smooth, her tone is not clear, she even sounds horse in parts. When she was in destiny’s child she was doing Soprano so why is she singing so deep!
UNINSPIRING, LAZY & LACKLUSTER …She’s just lucky it was in China mate!
COMMON THAT WAS NOT ONE A THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME … IT WAS OK … I CAN SEE BEYONCE DAD BEHIND ALL THOSE NEGATIVE COMMENTS …
BILLY GOAT T***** ALERT!!!
I geuss she figure if Beyonce can sing DC songs on her tour, I’m sing it on mine. But to be honest I didn’t even know she was touring. I didn’t know they digged her in China. She betta work. Atleast she is just doing her thing. Thats great though!
I love this girl till death,BUT it really pisses me off to see that she cant sing live anymore!! she’s been in the game tOoOoO LONG to not have breath control!! How in the hell is she gonna promote this new album if she cant sing live this year? I wish her good luck and im praying for her but wats the use of a hott album if u cant perform!!!
The problem is that sometimes we see she make lives so perfect, that when she comes back and makes a live ok, we miss, but She is Amazing!
I have to admit it was a mess, hated it but a check is a check hopefully she shuts it down at NRJ AWARDS ….we are rooting for u miss Kelly and I also think were so use to seeing Beyonce and Gaga maybe that’s y people go so hard on lackluster performances like this
Britney,Madonna,Janet Jackson, all these ppl n more mime der songs n still sell albums,Kelly Sings live witout backn tracks,y’all dnt worry you’ll c shes got it n 4wow perfs,check loop live,t4 perfs…she did it witout so mch stage props,jst 2dancers.oda ppl distract y’all wit stage props,(check Gosta go perf in japan n see she cn work award shows)
first thing frst i love kelly rowland and i love DC3 but REALITY we have ti admit kelly just does not have it as a SOLO star, i mean we can’t keep making up excuses she has been singing/dancing from age 9, and then preforming professionaly from like age 15 so there is no excuse for her lack of stage presence, breath control, vocal unconsitency , i mean we can’t keep saying give her time to grow she has had long enough & been a solo artist since like 2002/3, so it comes to the crunch as she just don’t have it to be a very good solo star, she can sing i’ve seen her sing very good but she is not consistent , and also she apeears to be quite lazy, she really needs to step her cookies up & how can she not even sing the destinys child songs what made her famous & what she could once sing? *confused* but i wish her look with her new album she has out this year
I REALLY DON’T GET IT . HOW PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT IT BAD ? IT WAS VERY GREAT TO ME …
@halo….aint tht the truth….m a major B stan by all accounts bt tht solo performance by Michelle during the Destiny Fulfilled tour was the ish…she took it to church and back,and you cud tell the audience really connected well with her……Kelly is a good singer bt she sucks live,Michelle is way better………..and though m rooting for both,i doubt they will ever enjoy the level of success they had with DC as solo artists..
Damn this is a MESS. This b**** just can’t sing. to much struggling in this h*** voice.
Cassie would’ve torn this s*** down. That’s all imma say.
Kelly has had a lot of very good performances this year of her hit When Love Takes Over… she can sing very well!
She maybe needs to rest and train her vocal abilities, but she I’m sure she got the voice.
I think the concert was fine, but a little poor… and it’s a little unfair for her because she is always compared to Beyoncé as if every artist sang live like Beyoncé…
Wish her a lot of success with this album coming out!! 🙂
YASSSSSSSSSSS Kelly
@Sammy and anyother idiot here,one more neg word bout kelly,trust me,I’l kill you,d voodoo of words still works,i’l jst read out wat u wrote n ur gone,I TINK LEPROSY N CANCER WLD BE GUD 4U.try me.
1 more negative word? OK
Kelly is a ugly as b****, can’t sing for s***, dirty bottom feeding trash bag wannabe Beyonce H**. Hows that for one more negative word.
B**** you must be some sad kelly Stan coz non of the Voodoo s*** works. Do it all u like. You know what they they ‘what goes around comes around’ so it will probably be you who gets cancer, not me.
Cassie is so much better than Kelly’s weak voiced ass. Get some sense. When Kelly can actually learn how to perform live then you can come at me.
Damn she needs to take some tips from Cassie. REAL TALK
I am one of Kelly’s biggest supporter, but this was bad.
It could be that the girl is sick, I don’t know.
@ SAMMY
Kelly is still relevant with her horrid vocals but where is Cassie on the charts?
Diddy just f***** the girl and dumped her ass quicker than her album falling of the charts.
Cassie ain’t s*** at all,..come on now!!! SAMMY must be some lil 12 year old or some s***
Kelly needs a HUGE break, she hasn’t stop performing since Ms.Kelly era if you really think about it.
I also recommend her a really really good vocal coach.
@ Damn and Jas
Cassie has had more hits in the US Kelly. Cassie got world wide smashes such as Me & U, Long Way 2 Go, Official Girl, Is It You, Must Be Love.Hot as hell. Nothing Kelly will do, and ever has done, will be better than ‘Skydiver’ her future world wide smash
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PD2X_1crtM
Cassie sell nearly 1 mill copies of her debut with only 2 songs out. Not an easy feat.
She can also dance better than Kelly. Check this out. All imma say is Single Ladies what?….

KELLY JUST DOESN’T HAVE IT AS A SOLO ARTIST
SOME OF YOUR ARE STATING BECAUSE SHE ONLY HAS 2 DANCERS/LESS PRODUCTION THAN SHE WOULD NORMALLY WOULD HAVE AS THE REASON WHY THIS PERFORMANCE IS SO HORRIBLE BUT WHEN U TAKE ALL THAT OUT AND FOCUS ON HER VOICE AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME SHE HAS HAD IN THE GAME THERE IS SIMPLY NO DENYING THAT SHE JUST DOESN’T HAVE IT
As much as i hate that b**** Beyonce, Sasha Fierce (above me) is on point. Kelly will never have what bey has, however Cassie has it, plus more.
@ SASHA FIERCE
Why is Beyonce always brought into a Kelly Rowland post, seriously get a good paying job. I love Beyonce but that is some ignorant child s*** you said.
@ SAMMY
Those are not hits.
When will Cassie experience two #1hits? Never.
When will Cassie surpass 4 millions album with just two albums? Never.
When will Cassie have a Grammy or Grammy nominations? Never.
When will anyone feature Cassie on a track? No one because she’s a no talent h** who stays on Diddy’s c*** to have a record label.
@ Fierce
Cassie featured on one of Ryan Leslies songs actually
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZHw9T_8NXg
And lames such as Akon and The Dream feature on her tracks to get noticed with their flop asses

Take that

when is she gonna sing UNITY!!!!!!!!
@ SAMMY
And the reason she is featured on those flop songs is because she had to open wide.
@ Fierce
They wish they could get with her. They’d be lucky. oh and you obviously didn’t look properly beccause THEY are featured on HER songs.
They’d never feature on Bey’s musty ass tracks LOLOLOLOLOL..
What is wrong with this site? I swear everyones out to get Cassie all time time. Stop hating on her grind. If she gotta suck d*** for tracks then so be it.
Kelly looked like Donna Summers with that look. I am glad that she is on her grind, it will pay off.
I heard this was back in November, so I am not really worried.
I agree with everyone who said that Kelly didn’t sound good at all and she has problems delivering solo live performances. She had prerecorded/background vocals on at least one of those songs and it didn’t help b/c she sounded horrible when she added her live vocals. Her voice is too husky and lacks control and clarity. All the dancers in the world could not have helped her sound any better. And that duet was horrible, he had to carry the song. I knew Beyonce’s name would come up b/c they were in the group together and are performing a lot of the same songs. But like others said, there is really no comparison. Beyonce is on a much higher level when it comes to delivering consistent, great live vocals and performances. NO EXCUSES Ms. Kelly, bring it if you got it!
ALL OF YOU ARE CLEARLY BEYONCE STANS PICKING KELLY APART!
KELLY DOES FINE LIVE. SHE IS DOING THIS ALL ON HER OWN! I ADMIRE HOW KELLY REFUSES TO GIVE UP!
MICHELLE DOES NOT SOUND BETTER THAN KELLY LIVE! LMFAOOO GET REAL!
ALSO… YOU KEEP SAYING KELLY HAS NEVER WOWED YOU WITH A VOCAL PERFORMANCE.
HAS
RIHANNA?
CIARA?
JANET?
MARIAH (LATELY)
WHO DOES? KELLY DOESNT SING WITH A BACKING TRACK A TEN BACK UP SINGERS! (BEYONCE DOES!)
