  17. Diana May 9, 2010

    Again anyone care to tell me why does everyone hate Kelly Rowland did I miss something?

  18. cutiepie May 9, 2010

    I like this.

  19. Shar May 9, 2010

    If Kelly were to listen to you all she would be s*** out of luck. I love all the songs I heard I could give a damn if yall like it. All I know is that I like it and I think she on the right track . I love the sound of this album and I can’t tell which new snippet I like more I think I like this one more than on & on.If she doesn’t do well with this next album something is so wrong with the people who didnt buy it. But that’s they’re lost. If people rather shoot everything she is doing down when they know if it were they’re fav they would be screaming hit and all that type of stuff. Kelly don’t have to impress you she’s impressing her fans and the people who check for her that’s all that matters.

  20. Bam Bam May 9, 2010

    It looks like Kelly is following everyone else and abandoning the black audience oh well best of luck …………….

  21. Muni May 9, 2010

    Great song, well delivered!!!!

  22. Lyric “Commander” Lee May 9, 2010

    right the black audience that abandoned her when ms kelly came out – or dowloads all the music instead of actually buying it….right SHE ABONDEONED THEM – thats a good one!

  23. Last Boy on Earth May 9, 2010

    Smooches is her best song yet

  24. Lisa May 9, 2010

    @ BAM BAM

    The funny thing is that her black fans that did buy Simply deep an Ms Kelly are all out in full force Loving her new sound. So what Audience is she abandoning The ones that wasn’t even trying to support her in the first place. Why should people who didn’t give a damn enough to go buy her last album full of beautiful r&b music have the right to tell kelly what she should sing? I think her fans have that right and so far I haven’t seen a kelly fan yet complain about her new direction so if you want r&b go buy Ms Kelly until then we on some other s***!

  25. Lyric “Commander” Lee May 9, 2010

    lisa you better let em know – its apart of an artist evolution – who stays stuck in the same mold? u must evolve with the times and grow artistically which ms kelly has – versatile doesnt even begin to describe her – from simply deep to her sound now – its so many different genres in btween is just a testament to her resolve to constantly and become a btter artist all while staying true to herself – and like lisa said – if u want rnb cop ms kelly – alt get simply deep and if u wanna dance – buy her next album – tits gonna be dangerous lol!!!

    i cant get the link above – can someone send it – im dying to hear it!!!!!

  26. Ghetto Fab May 9, 2010

    Sounds excellent! This album is shaping up to be one of her best for sure! Bring it Commander Kelly! 2010 is yours!

  27. Lyric “Commander” Lee May 9, 2010

    GHETTO FAB SEND ME A LINK OR SOMETHING
    I CANT HEAR IT ITS NOT THERE

  28. peace May 9, 2010

    I hope you know that if you listen to any one of the DC girls albums they aren’t strictly singing R&B. There is pop, dance and R&B on their albums and gospel (michelle). Kelly isn’t abandoning anyone. She’s evolving and if you are a fan you would allow her to grow and support her. I know I am. I have actually liked all the snippets and songs so far. I LOVE the new remix to commander that Rico Love showed.

    Also to Lola and Andrew and whoever else, Kelly is coming out with an album. Anytime there is kelly news, they will post it because that is what the blog is for. Dumb asses. If it was Rihanna news, Bee news, Mariah news, who ever they will post it. Stop being so negative and if you really didn’t like it you wouldn’t be on the site to even voice your opinion. =)

  29. Kross May 9, 2010

    Don’t like it!!

  30. Dev May 9, 2010

    The song is okay, and like … said it should close the album if on it – i could hear Alexandra Burke singing this. Anyway, Kelly needs to bring it this time, she has already bee the laughing stock from when Mercedes in glee said “AW HELL TO THE NAW! I aint with this background singing nonsense. I’m Beyonce. I ain’t no KELLY ROWLAND!
    Kelly can’t afford another moment like this

  31. Ash Jones May 9, 2010

    this is what kelly rowland sounds like when she attempts something like “halo” or “bleeding love”.

    the result? an epic guitar ballad that stands head and sholders above other pop or R&B/bass driven ballads such as “Happy”. deffo a winner but sounds more like a movie theme or album cut. not sure its a good single choice.

  32. gio88 May 9, 2010

    don’t isulte thatgrapejiuce finally a site that is not just Beyonce Knowles but also Kelly Rowland that is Amazing as Beyonce , in different way obviously!

  33. misspetite82 May 9, 2010

    I like it already!! I’m so ready for Kelly’s album to drop..I honestly can hear the growth in her voice and deliverence. People are wanting her to stay in one lane but why not try new sounds especially if its working for you…once again good song or snippet lol

  34. linda May 9, 2010

    this is a Beautiful snippet.

  35. NikkiIsChillin May 9, 2010

    Ugh! Snippet of this song is such a tease.LOL! I was just getting into the song. Very Melodic and soothing. I liked it so far. Go Kelly!

  36. leslie May 9, 2010

    Sounds really good.

  37. O.D.H. May 9, 2010

    Do it big Ms. Kelly I would like a little more r&b feel but this is good too @Bam Bam dont hate if a black person made it its black music.

  38. Leon May 9, 2010

    People need to shut the crap with this Black music, white music “ish”. For one it is childish and ignorant. I am sick and tired of people saying artists are sellouts when they express different tastes in music. Music is universal it does not belong to any particular race. People need to grow up and educate themselves. As an African American I wouldn’t pander with the stereotypical “Black audience” for two reasons; one I don’t see color when I am listening to music I hear the creativity and talent behind it, two, if I was an artist pandering to the “black audience” would stifle my creativity, global potential, and leave me broke. I enjoy all types of music and support artists who do the same.

  39. UGh May 9, 2010

    I absolutely love the dress she’s wearing. the songs sounds good so far. more my type of thing, i don;t like Commander

  40. James May 9, 2010

    This is ridiculous…why is she turning white…I haven’t heard about one urban record 4rm her yet but smooches and thats not even on the album. not buying the album if I can’t relate to it.

  41. rara May 9, 2010

    love it! it’s about time she got the right producers, now she just need to prmote promote then maybe she can have a number single.

  42. Lyric “Commander” Lee May 9, 2010

    so you cant relate to a song because to you it sounds white!? james how old are you really – how racist does that even sound. im as black as they come and i welcome and enjoy alllll types of music. AS LONG AS THERE IS A MESSAGE I CAN RELATE TOO ON SOME LEVEL THEN ITS COOL BY ME – BEY DID PLENTY OF “WHITE” SONGS SMASH INTO U THATS WHY YOUR BEAUTIFUL IF I WERE A BOY BUT OHHH SHES BREAKING BOUNDARIES and plus ms kelly has had her share with this is love unity and now this song – WHICH I STILL HAVENT HEARD and am dyuing here – i love the fact that she just does what she feels and isnt confined to one little box!! work!!!!

  43. rysinstarr May 9, 2010

    f*** the black audience..dey aint shyt wen it comes 2 support music legally..

  44. mez May 9, 2010

    Blah ablah ablah @ kelly back up singer rowland

  45. Dave May 9, 2010

    Love it & Lisa & Lyric, u betta Tell em!

  46. when would she get it May 9, 2010

    Black Music or white music it don’t matter. Thing is that kellys skin complexion can’t sell white music. so she is better off making urban songs.
    I already know how this new album would go as far as sales.
    She would still get the same success as she always has been getting.
    To me is more like Kelly is afraid to do things on her own. Why does she need guetta to help her sell records.
    The earlier she realizes people like the person that featured her and not her.
    She should notice her solo records fail till she features someone or she’s been featured.

  47. YOU BETTA WORRK! May 9, 2010

    Her voice sounds beautiful but it sounds like a Country song… change the instrumental! I hope her album is a mixture of pop, r&b, & hiphop. It’s ok to mix it up… tht way you will hit all groups & not have sum ppl feeling left out. For example: Bey she did Ego & Diva & they were more pop/hiphop. She also did a song called Halo & If I were a Boy witch is pop. I like your voice it is so clear & beautiful but I’m not feeling that instrumental/background, not feeling it…

  48. YOU BETTA WORRK! May 9, 2010

    @ when would she get it

    What do u mean white music? The music she is doing is not white music it is pop music! A music genre that was made popular by a man name Michael Jackson. & her skin color has nothing to do with her sales. She can sale big… Brandy, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson have all sold well & have had great careers. It’s crazy that you say that when mostly white folks shows up @ her concerts! Look @ her performing commander u will only c white ppl & tht audience! U r so closed mined, I just know u must be black and a male at that! Just another Kelly Hater!

  49. ~TeAM WeeZY~ May 9, 2010

    Not feeling this so far. Her voice sounds very weak here.

  50. Dimp May 9, 2010

    OMG I LOVE THIS! I cant wait til it leaks in full!!

  51. Center May 9, 2010

    Her VOCALLLLS!

    yass Kelly

  52. NAS May 9, 2010

    OMG… will somebody kindly show me where to download this for free…..!pleaseeee!!!!! LMAO

  53. Love Music May 9, 2010

    Love her vocals

  54. Cume May 9, 2010

    No one can deny the fact that Kelly Rowland is ready. If anyone can then trust me they could see a jet and call it a bicycle.

  55. tordra swanigan May 9, 2010

    kelly you win in 2010

  56. MJfan May 9, 2010

    Beyonce and Kelly and the other original DC members voice coach said years ago, in S2S magazine that Kelly actually as a voice like Mariah Carey. So, why is anyone surprised that the girl can actually sing with force?

    And as far as Kelly abadoning her black audience, I’m black and I say good for her. Black audiences are stuck in whatever music urban radio stations play. So, if that means that she will have to crossover like Janet did than good for her.

  57. Melissa May 9, 2010

    I don’t understand why it has to be that Kelly Rowland or any other Black artist that does not stick with singing/rapping about getting money, having s**, or beating someone down is abandoning their Black audience! I mean if these artist are doing anything it is enhancing the community with something new or different. Dang people open your ears and embrace something outside of your normal box!!!! Thankies!!!

  58. loso May 9, 2010

    Wow it is so crazy how people are calling music white and black. That is so racist music is music and Kelly realizes that and she is trying to get her urban fanbase to experience the greatness of music worldwide. I say kudos to you Kelly a true artist who is not just stuck in one box to please only certain people who did not even support you before. Kelly is on the right track and I love the snippet she sounds great and that sounds like that will be a beautiful song.

  59. Jamie May 9, 2010

    Music is music; it has no race or gender. WE as in people put labels on genres of music. Dance doesn’t not equal gay, Pop does not equal white, and the list goes on. Either you like a particular sound(s) or you don’t, and if you don’t, just move on! This is a beautiful song, and I can’t wait to hear it in full.

  60. @DIANA May 10, 2010

    @ DIANA

    There is actually no reason why people are hating on her but TGJ is known for his criticism towards Rihanna so her fans all come back over here to hate on Kelly because they know Sam is a fan of her. I must say the rihanna stans are the most childish stans I’ve ever experienced.

  61. DIANA May 10, 2010

    ^ That is very childish of them.

  62. Lebo(CaribbeanBoi) May 10, 2010

    Interesting !!!

  63. tera May 10, 2010

    thanks jamie agree with u imatriz kross if u dont like it take u sour ass off this blog and go somewhere u like it mez kelly is not a back up singer she is a singer so get lost team weezy if u not feelin go where u can feel it agree with peace

  64. remmy May 10, 2010

    Not trying to start anything but you guys do realize that she just changed the name of that song from ‘Hello’ now if it were beyonce ya’ll would be having a fit…

    *run out of post not to return in fear*lolz

    The songs sound nice tho…

  65. Lyric “Commander” Lee May 10, 2010

    OMG IM DYING HERE – PEEP WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

    The song was well received by critics who noted Rowland and Guetta as a winning formula. Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said “…It looks as though they’re going to be ruling the airwaves all over again. … After she lulls us into a false sense of security (“I feel like the DJ is bodyguard / You see the way he keeps me safe? / With the treble and the bass?”), the track plunges into a pounding electro-house chorus that quite literally orders us to the dance floor … The result isn’t quite as fresh and inventive as some of Guetta’s recent output – Kelis’s ‘Acapella’, for example – but it goes a long way towards recapturing some of last summer’s magic…”[6] Ivan Ibarra of DjBooth.net also agreed saying “The David Guetta-produced jam will definitely have dancers fist-pumping in their favorite Jersey Shore re-enactment. Vocally Kelly delivers a performance that marries Guetta’s production perfectly…”[7] Robert Daw of Idolator said “if you think Ms. Kelly is taking the go-go boots off anytime soon, then you’d best go lean against the wall, flower. Rowland’s Guetta-produced new single ‘Commander’ is pure strobe-light adrenaline rush. … [it] will appear on Kelly’s as-yet-untitled third solo album … we’re predicting a full on Rowland Renaissance!”.[8]

    OMG PPL WE HAVE COINED A NEW PHRASE – THE ROWLAND renaissance

  66. linsim May 10, 2010

    ITS FUNNY HOW PEOPLE GET TO COMPLAIN THAT A CERTAIN WEBSITE FANS KELLY. YOU KNOW WHAT GO TO ANY WEBSITE THAT YOU KNOW TO BE UNBASED AND YOU WILL FIND KELLY ON TOP. TO SOMEONE WHO SAID MAY BE SH EWILL HAVE A NUMBER ONE HIT…. HERE IS THE CORRECTION NOT MAY BE. COMMANDER IS GOING TO SELL MORE THAN 20 MILLION SINGLES IN JUST 24 HOURS. COME 17TH IN FRANCE AND ALL KELLY’S STANS THERE WILL BREAK THE RECORD AND AS IF THAT AIN’T ENOUGH ON THE 18 NO SONGS WILL BE DOWNLOAD FROM ITUNES EXCEPT COMMANDER. BY THE END OF THE DAY 20 MILLION WILL BE SOLD JUST IN THE US. AND MULTIPLY THAT BY THREE IN FRANCE. THIS SONG WILL DEBUT @ NO 1 AND STAY THERE FOR THE NEXT 5 MONTHS. IT WILL BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER SINGLE FROM HER ALBUM AND BY THEN THE ALBUM WILL DROP HOT!!! HOT!! HOT!! AND FIRE MARSHALLS CAN’T CONTAIN IT. EVERYBODY LOVES KELLY’S NEW VOICE. THOSE WHO HATE ARE THE ONE WHO DO COMMIT PYRACY. GROW UP HATERS. U BETA LOCK YA SELVES IN THE DARK ROOM WHERE YOU CAN’T HEAR A THING FOR EVERYWHERE YOU GO SHE WILL BE COMMANDING YOU ON & ON TILL YOU JUST WHISPER ” WE LOVE YOU KELLY. WE ALWAYS HAVE. LOL.

  67. Princess May 10, 2010

    It sounds good. I can’t wait for her album. As stated in earlier posts race shouldn’t be put on music. Kelly is doing Kelly and what she likes and sounds good doing so. I like it and commander and I’m black. You have to be open to different music. I’m actually tired of most the music that’s being played on the R&B/hip hop stations. Most of them are talking about the same thing w/ a different beat. I’m ready for Kelly and I’m glad she is switching it up.

  68. seriously? May 10, 2010

    good pop track

  69. CJ May 10, 2010

    I have to hear the whole thing 1st.

  70. Andrew May 10, 2010

    It’s a miss imo
    Sorry Kelly

  71. tera May 12, 2010

    u r the mess andrew go get a life and leave kelly assswhole

  72. Nikki May 14, 2010

    The snippet is soooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood I can’t wait to hear the rest of the song. Another club song. It is very catchy and infectious, this is what many artists have been doing for years and unfortunately sell records. I hope the lyrics is solid though. Seems like a lot of metaphors are used.

  73. Nikki May 14, 2010

    Kelly have some serious fans and stans. LOL

  74. Bobbi Thorne May 30, 2010

    If only I had a greenback for each time I came to thatgrapejuice.net… Superb writing.

  75. toney P June 11, 2010

    This record is going to be great. I like the mix between techno and R&B.. Can’t wait to see her at pride today!!!! I hope she sings “when love over takes over”, “on and on”, “commander” and other hits from her new record. I think she has a great voice and a future singing club mixes!!!
