    Love it! The performance that is, her hair- not so much.

  2. loso June 5, 2010

    She was amazing everybody said she had the best performance!!! Go Kelly!!!!

  3. evening June 5, 2010

    Her wigs are killing me softly

  4. BLACK DOLL June 5, 2010

    Queen Kelly is very beautiful……………

  5. O LeDoIt June 5, 2010

    That was a GREAT performance! Kelly really knows how to work a crowd!

  6. loso June 5, 2010

    @Evening you are so sad the only negative thing you could say was her hair because you know you cant say she cant sing…….she is no doubt a fantastic singer!!!!!

  7. STAY MAD! June 5, 2010

    LMAO at her hair and at those people don’t give a f*** about her. They were probably like, “who is that?” She told them to sing with her and only about 3 people sang along #FAIL

    Also DEAD at the 3:31 mark. She was like “whatever”

    Kelly did do a good job though overall (minus the hair).

  8. The Way I Izzzzzzzzzz June 5, 2010

    A MESS……I bet if that were BEYONCE’ saying stand up that crowd would have hopped up 🙂

  9. 0beloved June 5, 2010

  12. Gucci June 5, 2010

  13. Dominique June 5, 2010

  15. Ghetto Fab June 5, 2010

  16. loso June 5, 2010

    None of you can hate because Kelly sings better than all yall faves or she sings just as good. I know all the haters will only hate on her hair but look how her hair looks today, FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. CLR June 5, 2010

    I know that haters live because this was a bomb ass performance and some people could only comment on her hair. Either you are ocd, a hater, or plain shallow to point out something that should not matter. That’s what’s wrong with this world we skip over important details to nitpick minuscule and irrelevant issues. To the comment about Beyonce having people hop up immediately; if you were a real fan you would know that Bey has to do the same thing to get lame crowds into her performances. She shouldn’t have to because she’s a beast, as is Kelly, but some crowds are always dead. The WMA was dead when she performed last yr. However, Bey shouldn’t be mentioned in this forum anyway. Lastly, this was a stellar performance by the talented and now confident Kelly Rowland. Oh and David Guetta’s native language isn’t English so stop making fun of his progress. Learning a second language isn’t easy stuff.

  18. K.Row Kid June 5, 2010

    @Rob SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? O.K. We all have opinions on the hair (Which wasn’t the bad!) but, REALLY?!?! A HOARSE ASS MESS?? ? BRB *SHAKIN THE HATER OFF*

    OK BACK. Kelly PUT IT THE F**K DOWN, and whoever thinks different is obviously psycho or a HATER. I don’t blame you guys, I’d be mad too if I was a hater and I was shut the f**k up by that video. Like Kelly said…. “I’m Everything You Wanna Be! So Go Ahead Please Hate On Me!” 🙂

    The people in there look like a bunch of prude asses anyway. Most of them were probably label execs and managers.

  19. Jamie June 5, 2010

    What scares me is I’m not used to haters. Seriously!!!!! Exellent job Ms. Kelly!!!!

  20. MizzCutie June 5, 2010

    When you do horrible, nobodies around.
    When you do great, the haters come.

    This performance was no exception. Kelly SLAYED! Period.

  21. 0beloved June 5, 2010

    @GHETTO FAB

    YOU TRY TOO HARD!

    SO HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH. NOBODY TOLD HIM TO GET FORREST GUMP TO TEACH HIM THOUGH.

    ANYWAYS

    YASS KELLY GIRL KILL IT! BUT PLZ DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR SILLY STANS. THEY COMMENT TO THE WRONG PEOPLE. YOU NEED ALL THE SUPPORT U CAN GET. DON’T LET THEM RUIN YOU.

  22. STAY MAD! June 5, 2010

    @Ghetto Fab what about the Billboard Hot 100? Home come you didn’t it’s peak position on that chart?

    :b

  23. ARTISTK June 5, 2010

    KELLY KICKED ASS! HER CONFIDENCE AND STAGE PRESENCE IS AMAZING!

  24. MizzCutie June 5, 2010

    @Stay Mad

    Many artist have had successful careers w/o their song even touching the Billboard Hot 100.

    Looking at your comments, its seems you dislike Kelly very much. So why does HER success matter to you?

    @Ghetto Fab

    Thanks for the info doll 🙂

  25. STAY MAD! June 5, 2010

    @MizzCutie I do like Floppy Rowland! She was my favorite in Beyonce’s Child

  26. Crack June 5, 2010

    I can not @ Gucci praising a Rihman performance and calls this luke warm. Gwerl show me a performance where Rihman can snatch Kelly’s poodle wig.

  27. WhatTheF June 5, 2010

    Her 3 stans are mad LOL!

  28. MizzCutie June 5, 2010

    @Stay Mad

    You sure? Floppy Rowland? Really?

  29. WhatTheF June 5, 2010

    I take that back. I think she has 5 stans. My bad…

  30. Stay Mad! June 5, 2010

    @MizzCutie Um, she IS a flop right?

  31. BLACK DOLL June 5, 2010

    When QUEEN KELLY wakes up in the morning……….HATERS SHOW UP, when she brushes…………..HATERS SHOW UP, when she looks out of her window……….HATERS SHOW UP, when she steps outside for a walk……..HATERS SHOW UP,when she performs excellently…….. HATERS SHOW UP,when she is nice………HATERS SHOW UP,when shes sleeping………..HATERS SHOW UP. ……..BACK TO HATERS, THE QUESTION NOW IS, WHAT DO U HATERS REALLY WANT?????

  32. Oggie June 5, 2010

    LOVE Kelly, LOVE the song, Loved the performance but i was extremly put off by the lace front weave, what happend? The close up’s were scary, it was as though it was not put on her head properly… Not a good look..

  33. BLACK DOLL June 5, 2010

    @STAY MAD……PLS JUST STAY MAD COS U ARE JUST A LOW LIFE P**…………….

  34. Ghetto Fab June 5, 2010

    @ 0beloved

    No boo you tried too hard with that lame ass comment about David Guetta. It’s not funny to make fun of people trying to learn English. David Guetta probably speaks more languages than you can even count. S*** I bet his English is better than yours lol. He’s the most sought out producer/DJ in the world and probably producing all of your favorites next singles b**** so Stay MAD and crawl back into your hoodrat village!!!!

  35. Ghetto Fab June 5, 2010

    @ Stay Mad

    B**** I didn’t have to. Did you not read all those number ones and top tens dumb dumb? And was even number one in the US on the Dance Charts SO like your name says STAY MAD! Queen Kelly remains unbothered by you bootlegging hoodrats and shakes all you haters the f*** off! her big ass lacefront! LMAO

  36. MizzCutie June 5, 2010

    @Stay Mad

    Last time I checked, her two solo albums went platinum. Thats not a flop in my book sweetheart….

  37. Stay Mad! June 5, 2010

    STAY MAD guys 🙂

  38. 0beloved June 5, 2010

    @GHETTO FAB

    “LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE YOU’RE GONNA GET” B**** FLY YO ASS AWAY BEFORE I HAVE TO DRAGG YOU TO THE PITS OF HELL. AND OH THE IRONY THE IRONY IS ASTONISHING THAT YOU CALL ME A HOODRAT BUT YOUR NAME IS GHETTO FAB. HOW SMART. SLOW ASS B****.

  39. GangsterA June 5, 2010

    Kelly peformance is good but not that much

  40. ~TeAM WeeZY~ June 5, 2010

    Dead @ the Kelly stans! You guys are so freakin’ delusional! This woman is a FLOP if I never seen one! I never use the word flop, but it is my only way of describing her as a solo artist! Not a fan, but I like Kelly, but she has alot to prove as a solo artist! And her stans just don’t help.

  41. kellyfan4life!!! June 5, 2010

    I’ve watched this at least 20 times! I lost count lol

  42. International Asshole June 5, 2010

    dead ass..I never knew Kelly Rowland had stans..Im happy. because this proves that she may just got Gold before the year is over..LOL

    lemme stop.

    I do like WLTO but its getting old. Kinda like when Beyonce performed SL EVERYWHERE. but whatever..Do ya thing Kelly. And enjoy the spotlight while you can. Because I can already smell Hurricane B..

  43. International Asshole June 5, 2010

    *go

  44. i shall say this only once June 5, 2010

    Great performance kelly, i dont know what all you b****** are talking about, I LOVE THE HAIR its a bit full but it looks verty afrocetric and i would rather rock that any day than some european looking long straight hair.. some of you are tripping i bet you like beyoncs white girl wannabe hair ugggggggg…..

  45. john smith June 5, 2010

    she looks great. cant believe how rubbish live she is though. she hs such an amazing voice when shes ready too.

  47. dakkylove June 5, 2010

    wow kelly is really a southern belle, loved the way she said scoot over babies…awesome performance, loved it,cant wait for a fantastic commander performance.

  48. Muni June 5, 2010

    Love it, Go Kelly!!!

  49. SPRING June 5, 2010

    THAT WAS AMAZING..
    well done kelly..

    Haters fall back… or rather go jump off a tree.

  50. Dave June 5, 2010

    It was ok, she sounded a little out of breathe through it though

  51. rochelle June 5, 2010

    I really liked that performance she did really well.

  52. cafflo June 5, 2010

    Kelly was getting tired towards the end thats why she kept telling the crowd to sing it other than the little bit of out of breath this was a great performance.

  53. Gucci June 5, 2010

    Girl I swear a bird just flew out of that nest on top of Kelly’s head. And what is David Guetta doing in the background? He was actually the life of the entire performance. Kelly stans you have got to be JOKING. Why don’t you find the other half of her outfit before you start with your wretched comments.

  54. kev June 5, 2010

    This was an improvement!… I thinking standing still and singing works better for Kelly. It was still a little shaky though and it’s obvious she’s struggling.. I just don’t understand what goes wrong at the end of every performance when she sings this song. I really think it’s torture watching that kick in, because it’s always a let down and I don’t look to criticize her. It seems like Commander is an easier record for her to sing, so on to the next already Kell!

  55. carl June 5, 2010

    I LOVE Kelly but I am getting sick of people hyping her up and not even helping her out! Your making her think she has loads of stans that will help her succeed but yet ya’ll ain’t doing s***. SMH

  56. NikkiIsChillin June 5, 2010

    I loved this performance. Kelly sounds great!!!

  57. Diane June 5, 2010

    Good performance Kelly. I love your stage presence.

  58. FUSION June 5, 2010

    Kelly looked great, as usual, but the vocals were horrible. I’m sorry, but if Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston sang like that, everyone would be jumping on their nuts, saying how s*** they were. I like Kelly, so am not hating, but if I’m honest, they vocals were atrocious.

  59. Elisa June 5, 2010

    6,5/10 🙂

    Good beginning, but lost the power in the middle of the performance, and it was just screaming. 🙁

    That dress and hair was very similar to Mariah Carey’s Emancipation of Mimi album cover

  60. ADE June 5, 2010

    I saw this last night and sorry but it was a mess

  61. Aria June 5, 2010

    oooooooooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! I have a new found respect for Kelly Rowland. That performance was the biz, just wish she would have showed of her dance skills a little bit. I luv it! you go Kelly so glad she found a life and some love in this world good show sir…lol Thanks Sam- u know your ish…My boo said I can post for him…smoochiiiees.

  62. Healthy Black Queens June 5, 2010

    I can’t stand when DEAD crowds turn up to award ceremonies. If you’re gonna sit/stand like a plank of wood then do it at home.

    It’s typical that people bash Beyonce long, straight weaves and want to her real hair, but when Kelly wears a weave that resembles what her afro texture could like she STILL gets bashed. Then these are the same people who will complain about not seeing ‘black beauty’. What a joke! Keep making those little black girls hate themselves and burn their hair off with relaxers and texturises with lacefronts and weaves to make their hairlines recede.

  63. j June 5, 2010

    Sam shut up! her performance was off and an unwilling crowd refused to help this failing fool.. pls dont be shocked when this album tanks. i’m worried about how you’ll take this news 🙁

  64. Rudeboii June 5, 2010

    I wonder why haters like Gucci come to a kelly post and watch her vid then even bother to comment, b**** you a bitter hater, you never have anything good to say, but the funny thing is we could all do with you coming here and commenting, cuz either way its not affecting Kelly, just your ego that’s in the gutter ! Bye haterz !!!!!

  65. Bbop June 5, 2010

    The vocals were good at first but she needs more practice and vocal lessons because it just turned into screaming. That wig is a mess.

  66. The Way I Izzzzzzzzzz June 5, 2010

    I mean at least Ciara has a PLATFORM…Kelly has nothing…No VOCALS…STAGE presence NADA…….

  67. Love June 5, 2010

    Would have been a great platform to perform Commander…. Yet she does this.

  68. justin_Sofly June 5, 2010

    WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER IS A VOCALLY DEMANDING SONG THATS WHY SHE GETS TIRED QUICKLY JUST TRY TO SING THIS SONG ALL THE WAY THREW AND SEE IF U DONT GET TIRED ESPECIALLY THE CHORUS AND THAT DEAD ASS CROWD ACT LIKE THEY WAS TO GOOD TO JOIN IN. PEOPLE NEED TO SHUT THE F*** OFF THESE THE SAME HATERS HATING ON MARIAH CAREY TALKING ABOUT WHITNEY SOUNDS BETTER THEN MARIAH WHEN WHITNEY SOUNDS LIKE A CAT IN HEAT AND THIS IS COMING FROM A WHITNEY STAN MIND YOU, THAT TOUR SHE IS DOING OVER THERE IS GETTING S***** ASS REVIEWS JUST BEING HONEST

  69. nothing but my opinion June 5, 2010

    Kelly sounded great
    they could have gave her a better wig and outfit but singing wise she sounded great
    i dont get all this hate on this site

  70. Top Notch Diva June 5, 2010

    Kelly did great!!!! Best performance I’ve seen her do with this song!

  71. DC_Diva June 5, 2010

    I love how Kelly is evolving into her own lime light and stardom.

  72. spunkypoop June 5, 2010

    Unimpressed!!! On to the next! Kelly needs to stop singing live. She should use recorded backgrounds.

  73. Andre June 5, 2010

    That was an excellent performance from Kelly Rowland. She really got intimate with the crowd.

  74. ~AalexisR~ The Summer King (The Bahamas) June 5, 2010

    She killed it.

  75. ADE June 5, 2010

    @KAKA, LMAO you cannot be serious????

  76. Crack June 5, 2010

    Song is definitely a tough one to sing. Her voice gave out towards the end. Still better than Rihanna though.

  77. BEYONCE VS. WORLD June 5, 2010

    THAT WAS HOT SHE DROP THE BALL A LITTLE AT THE END OVERALL IT WAS HOT SHE APPROVING SO MUCH

  78. roadsareendless June 5, 2010

    whats with everyone doing the big curly hair thing…just when i wanted to straighten my hair…smh

  79. CJ June 5, 2010

    I think that Kelly did a very good job. I don’t think it was her best but. She went for it. Love you Kelly.

  80. QUEENB June 5, 2010

    so tired of this song

  81. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) June 5, 2010

    Go Ms Kelly!!!!!!!!!!

  82. bluekid June 5, 2010

    Rihanna stans on here still hating on Ms. Kelly ! You guys scared Ms Kelly is going to take Rihanna crown, Rihanna never had?????

  83. Gucci June 5, 2010

    Kelly looks like she just finished taping an episode of Ru Paul’s drag race and pumped her dusty ass down to the stage only to end up sounding like a horse.

    And the crowd was completely unimpressed just like the rest of us.

  84. loso June 5, 2010

    All the haters can say is Kelly is a flop Kelly has bad wig, but guess what haters she is still surviving and will always survive so you might as well get used to her beautiful black face.

  85. Anne June 6, 2010

    OK I wasn’t anxious to watch her perform this song again but I’m glad I got bored enough to take a look. Her vocal performances are getting better and better. I was impressed, although she didn’t get much love from the crowd.

  86. what? June 6, 2010

    She did awesome! I wish she was more popular here in the United States of Beyonce!

  87. BENJAMIN June 6, 2010

    She did pretty good, despite for some reason the crowd was really draggish, but it is always like that at this particular award show. I know she is probably tired of singing this song, cause it is so taxing on the voice. And yes, she needs a new look like you all said. This is too “Destiny Fulfilled” era, and we all know Beyonce has long moved on since that look, so she needs to do the same.

  88. Julia June 6, 2010

    It’s time for Kelly Rowland to release UNITY worldwide … a beautiful ballad that deserves attention. Can’t wait to see a live performance of this song <3 <3 ~ Jules

  89. Mal June 6, 2010

    Good performance but as always Kelly hasnt got good breathing technique when she performs live

  90. KingTMO June 6, 2010

    DAMN! I usually do not comment but KELLY SLAYED the heck out of this performance. Big ups to her and the growth she is showing as an artist. “scoot over babies” The queen officially arrived.

  91. danny b June 6, 2010

    i LOVE Kelly… BUT the Kelly stans are by far the worst stans ever. Theyre the best at blowing hot air. SMDH

    But i still love YOU Kelendria !

  92. danny b June 6, 2010

    @BENJAMIN

    Completely co-sign.

  93. Princess June 6, 2010

    I think Kelly sounded great. The crowd was a little dead, but Kelly sounded great. I love the confidence she has.

  94. loso June 7, 2010

    Kelly is one of the best singers out right now!!!! Go Kelly!!!

  95. TinaTina June 8, 2010

    terrible wig kelly… your live performances are coming along… slowly but surely… you have a nice voice, but it just never seems “steady” when you’re singing live….
