Billed as career-defining moment before it even took place, Kelly Rowland‘s sizzling showing at the BET Awards last night most certainly lived up that title and then some.
That Grape Juice visitors have expressed their thoughts on the performance, but what did Rowland’s industry contemporaries have to say when they took to Twitter?

a rising super star
Glad she’s finally getting the shine she deserves but there were a few things that kind of left me disappointed about her performance. But I’m not trying to take away from what she deserves and that’s finally being a topic on the morning after! LuV Kelly and anticipating her album.
She dragged Beyonce last night! So proud.
AS A HUGE DC FAN I AM SO SO PROUD OF KELLY I WISH HER THE BEST, AND I HOPE MICHELLE IS ALSO ABLE TO FIND SUCCESS SO THAT ALL 3 OF THEM WILL BE HUGE
Kelly shut it down!!! Gave me so much Janet Jackson “I Get Lonely” vibe!
Bye Bye
Flop c*** Beyonce.
😀
PLUS PPL NEED TO STOP COMPARING THE DESTINYS CHILD GIRLS ITS UTTERLY DISGUSTING. STOP IT. PPL WHO DO THAT HAVE ISSUES WITH THEM SELVES. STOP BEING INSECURE AND CHANNELLING THOSE INSECURITES THRU OTHERS
ARE those Z LIST PEOPLE SUPPOSE TO MATTER??? BYE……..HOPE THEY BUY HER ALBUM
I’m happy for Kelly. I’m a big fan of her’s too and that performance was fiyah! She not only sounded great she looked amazing. I can see her confindence more now and even in this performance . Kelly is back she snatched wigs late night.
SHE SLAYED LAST NIGHT…LOVE HER!!
KELLY DID HER THANG..!!!…
Kelly F***** ate that s***! SN: Stop comparing Beyonce and Kelly. One has already proved herself while the other hasn’t.
But she was miming though..
Slayed, snatched and left scalps bleeding…if you can’t give this girl her props then you are a hater and pressed #IMDONE
I was so happy for my girl I wanted to cry. She deserves it all and so much more. This is only the beginning for her. I luv you Kelly and I’ve down wit you since day one “Simply Deep” is still my jam. To the haters screw you all.
It was about time Kelly. Y’all remember her performance of “Like this” (Destiny’s child reunion)? You can see that she has grown so much now. She’s more confident on stage. Her vocals and choreography were on point last night… except her outfit. Found it boring and not that s*** for a performance of this caliber.
Ok I was f****** shock by Kelly’s performance, she been holding back!! I really believe Beyonce’s no good ass father held Kelly back to let Bey shine! Beyonce and her Father f***** Kellys career up!! Its to late now, If I was Kelly I would sue there ass, becuz looking at Kellys performance last night its clear she is more talented then Beyonce! Yeah I said it!
Kelly did her thang thang indeed just wish she wouldn’t have lipsinked most of it. Im just saying……………
A star has been reborn!!
kelly! was amazing… she did great… her vocals on point.. great she finally found her voice coz or her recent perfomances from when love takes over have been really great
Standing O!
She did THAT!
Amazing!
So happy and proud of her!
The church sayz AMEN! KELLY DID HER THANG! BRAVO BRAVO AMEEEEEEEEEEEN! *IN MICHELLE’S VOICE*
So there you have it! I am so proud of Kelly & her performance last night. Those of us who have been Kelly fans knew she had it in her. If you followed her performances overseas you will see that she is a phenomenal performer. Nonetheless our girl proved just what needed to prove last night, don’t ever under estimate her or try to put her in the shadow of others.
I am so looking forward to what is next from Kelly. It was clear that she was the highlight of last night and one of the most talk about performances! I feel no need to even respond to the haters because all you are doing is continuing to make her “That Chick”! #TEAMKELLY all day….get at us at rowldawgs.com
Hahaha She did that!
Damn. That was a s*** widow on that stage last night lmao.

Kelly finally getting her shine on.
She wasn’t do wop pop popping it last night.
She was dropping it like it was hot and rolling.
Tamarbraxton.com.
Kelly is a fantastic performer! I luv her.
It’s about time! Girl, it’s your time to shine, don’t mess it up!
BILLBOARD SAID SHE LIPPED THE PERFORMANCE. FAR FROM SUPERSTARDOM. WONDER WHAT KELLY’S REAL DAD SAID? ..OR HER FAKE DAD?? AKA MATHEW PAPPA KNOWLES.
SHe is always complementing Beyonce”. Why didn’t Beyonce complement her on her fantastic performance? Do Beyonce’ give complements to anyone?
its funny all the people are talking about she lipped it are big fans of
Mariah carey – famous for lipping
beyonce – who has been known to use a backing track
Celine Dion – Lipped most of her shows in Vegas for awhile
GaGa- who lipped the born this way at the Grammy’s
Rihanna – who should be lipping
Janet – known to use pre-recorded vocals
and many more, so LET KELLY BE GREAT, she shut it down so give her props instead of the hate.
Guuuurl Kelly SNATCHED every wig in that building. They were not f****** ready. She gave me what the f*** I asked for. I’m so proud of her. She beyond slayed it. You could tell by everyone’s reaction. THey were not ready. Kelly dug deep found her confidence went out there and murdered it! On the BET aftershow her performance was the talk of the town. On twitter people were going crazy. She officially shut it DOWN!
Kelly shut it down. Janet has lipped for years which is why it’s called a performance. Those were her vocals–non-studio. That being sad, she killed it!!!! It was entertaining and was the best performance of the night hands down!!!!!!
I like Kelly but is it not funny how everyone likes you when you are on the up and forgets you when you are down. Cynical me????????
The performance would have actually been impressive had she been singing LIVE! Sorry Kelly but ur just a black Britney Spears circa “In The Zone” fo rthat s*** u pulled last night.
LMAO!!!! Wat da hell did she slay??? Her lil Janet Jackson dance inspried routine??? Bcuz she was NOT SIGNING LIVE!!!! Singing to a backtrack is completely different from LIPSYNCING DUMBASS!!!!
It’s amazing how people STILL refuse to give Kelly her props. Oh well…
Kelly was great last night!
*plays Stole*
WE all know that Kelly can actually SING, so if she lip-synced, why the hell should it matter? Plus, she didn’t even lip-synch the whole thing! The last half of the performance you could really tell she was singing and she still sounded amazing! I loved every bit of this performance. It was so s*** but very, very classy and not raunchy or nasty! I didn’t feel offended or disgusted after watching it like I do with Rihanna, Britney, Lady Gaga, Beyonce (her performances have been cleaner now-a-days), and Janet. Plus, Janet’s ass always uses pre-recorded vocals but her stans swear down that she doesn’t! Kelly Rowland had me shocked with that hit dance moves. I didn’t know she could dance that well! Kelly is shutting up all the stupid ass doubters! It’s time for her to shine, especially with R&B music in the states!
WHY ALL THESE IGNORANT PEOPLE IN HERE ALWAYS GOT TO BRING UP BEYONCE IN EVERY POST.
@ Kelly STFU, Why the f*** your stupid ass stuck in past rumor gossip s*** from the late 90s DC, only person that was holding Kelly Rowland back was herself she could’ve been fired Matthew if he was the problem. Stop trying to put these ladies against one another when it’s clear that are friends. Did Bey choke you out or something or you just a jealous fat ass
@A Fan But Not A Stan Why does Bey have to complement Kelly on her performance, they were in a group together so i’m sure she knows that Ms. Kelly can slay the stage and how u know if she seen it or not she was at Glastonbury
Anyone who is saying she did not sing live so what it is not like she never sang live. Even though I think she sang some parts live. She doesn’t need to prove herself as she has proved that she can sing and dance at the same time. You Beyonce fans have you actually watched the DC tours??? Kelly can clearly sing live and sound good. Take you blinkers off and think rationally.
@ Lola
Being a Kelly fan, yes I know she can absolutely sing live, that’s why it’s very perplexing as to why she chose to lipsynch. And if she lipped the “sing it ya’ll” part, that let’s me know that nothing else in that performance was live. Why she let that lesser troll Trey hit her ass like that is beyond me? And also, using another person’s wrongs (e.i. Janet Jackson using pre-recorded vocals) to justify Kelly’s lipped performance is wrong. Like I always say, if u can’t sing live while dancing, then just SING! She is after all, A SINGER!
stars repond my ass this is all her friends BEYONCE KILLED IT
Lip Sync or not those moves were mos def LIVE! LOL! I enjoyed the performance. All and all, it was a good business decision. If this is the first televised performance of a NUMBER 1 song, it has to go off without a hitch. Call it what you want, at the end of the day, she wasn’t singing to someone else’s vocals, they were hers. So hats off to Kelly (which btw, I wish she would have threw off or something) for that AMAZING performance! Lord knows it was the resuscitation performance that the awards show needed to wake up the viewers that were watching! LOL! #Kelz!
You are all acting like she slayed this and that. She performed well but teh actual talent is being able to sing AND dance and do it at the same time. This girl clearly still can’t and so is still in the shadows needing to prove herself.
PUUHHLLLEEEAAASSSEEEE!!!!!! The only thing Kelly did right was makin u fools think she was actually singing LIVE!!!! She is officially added to my studio singer list….Anybody can sound good in da studio!!! ie. Britney Spears, Rihanna, HELL even Selena Gomez
Kelly is my girl. LOVE her. LOVE Beyonce. H-town girlz representing to the FULLEST. That’s how we do IT here, babe. For real! Proud of BOTH of them. Haters don’t need to hate, if you mad–contribute! If you can’t beat em, join them..stop comparing the two because they are both BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, PROUD TO BE BLACK SISTAHS! Celebrate that instead of creating fictional wars because these women are like SISTERS, FOR REAL!!! I know!!! You CANNOT find TWO more humble, down to earth women in the game and if you took the time to see that–you might appreciate what’s going on.
BIG UP, KELLY! YOU REPPED THE CHOCOLATE SISTAHS WELL!!!!!
STARS REPOND MY ASS THEY ARE ALL HER FRIENDS BEYONCE KILLED IT
AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!!
KELLY KILLED IT!! I could not stop smiling during her performance and constantly rewinding on my DVR lastnight. The outfit was a little ehh but i realized later that she was channeling Janet Jackson’s “I Get So Lonely”. I also wished peeps would stop the comparisons to Beyonce cuz Kelly is her own artist now. And I also highly doubt she lip sync that and if she did then she did a damn good job cuz that was the best live recorded singing i’ve heard…lol I can’t wait to get the album in a MONTH!!! i”m so ready for them to release “Lay It On Me” to keep the ball rollin’. #TEAMKELLY
@QUEENBEY WILL ALWAYS S*** ON UR FAVE AND LEAVE THEM NO OPTION BUT 2 POUT
For someone who dislikes literately every female artist other than Beyonce it is amazing how much you care about their performances.
She did good…but let’s not act like she didn’t lip-sync…even her speaking parts were…I don’t think her mic was even on…one time she spoke “sing it ya’ll” and her mic wasn’t to her mouth and at the end she tried to speak and the mic was off…
I think Kelly improved since Like This from years ago. Though, I’m baffled by a lot of the blogs and outlets like Billboard. Last week, everyone wanted her to shine. Today, she’s a Janet rip off that’s oversexed. People are fickle with it. The only thing I can say is I don’t know why BET had her come in with Trey instead of on her own. It would’ve probably benefited her more if she haf a set by herself and did her new song. I would have liked to see that. Though the Chris Brown controversy is overshadowing not only her performance but the show in general. Which was poorly produced and the worst I’ve seen. There were great performances but the viewers choice mixup, low budget production, lame presenters and the audience was lame as hell. The only thing I liked was Patti and her tribute, Kevin’s Real Househusbands.
@TheTruth, you need to remember what music is about. MUSIC. Dancing is merely an attribute, more of something that contributes to a performance. Hell, in todays industry, sometimes “dancing” is more important than actual vocal performance, but don’t get it twisted. On top of that, Kelly performed her lip sync to her own vocals. Whether it was a lip sync or not, you can’t say that the vocal performance was a mess because it was extremely good. So credit has to be given somewhere. Does anybody remember when Mike J used to lip sync his performances? Hell, even said, “It’s me singing so I don’t have to prove anything else.” SMDH. Congrats Kelly and use the negativity for the upcoming project, because whether it’s good or bad, it’s creating more buzz. #BOOM
@GAGAFOREVER- I COMPLETELY AGREE……they were ALL HER FRIENDS!!!!! Wen QUEENBEY slayed da f*** outta her BillBoard performance….even Keri Hilson was stanning
Some of you all are pathetic. It’s okay that she might have lip synched. So what?!!!! It’s not like 99% of entertainers who sing and dance don’t do it anyways. I can almost guarantee you that she will perform this live without any backing tracks. This performance was for the BET awards…the BET awards is a huge promotional platform…she has an album coming out in July…backtracks were used for perfection…Need I say more? I sure would like to see half of you all try to sing and dance at the same time, because it’s not the easiest thing to do. Even Beyonce who I think is one of the greatest performers of all time uses backing tracks from time to time. Do I have a problem with that? Heck no! They’ve earned the rights to do so.
Ya’ll doing the most. She could have at least sung live. I think people are just giving Kelly pity b/c she’s struggled to get some shine for so long and ppl just want to see her win…
HER PERFORMANCE WAS ALRITE…I HEARD PEOPLE SING HER SONG BETTER THAN HER BUT IN A WAY I JUST THINK PEOPLE ARE KIND OF TIRED OF BEYONCE, BUT SHE STILL AINT BEYONCE
I wonder if BASEMENT BABY SOlange is going to congratulate her. PROMPT HATING KNOWLES KLAN..applaud Kelly PROMPT or it will be too obvious the haters that most know yall to be (and have taught your stans to be).
Paging Solo, Ms. Happy Tweet, Tweet about Kelly !
Kelly slayed my life with that performance. It was only a matter of time before she showed the world what she had in her card deck. The album is gonna be FIRE
SHE WAS ALRIGHT
GIVIN ME JNO VOCALS VIBE
LOVE HER AND MUCH SUCCES GIRL
GO AHEAD
BISSSHHH KILLED IT!!!
@GAGA FOREVER, umm, GAGA has lip sync twice this year. And I am a current fan (used to be stan) of Beyonce and I will say that her performance was good, but not as epic as the Billboards. Kelly Rowland did her thing. Just give her props for what she did. She’s trying to sale a cd. Honestly, I believe if she wouldn’t have lip sync, you would have something else to point out that’s negative. You just have a platform now to throw shade. It’s s***** comments like that, that made me stop liking Beyonce like that. You all are throwinfg Beyonce under the bus by comparing because people want to see someone else on top.. So whether it’s Kelly or not, they are going to support the under dogs. It’s self mutilation that you all are going to cause.
Kelly did really good last night. People can be so critical when it’s not necessary. So what she lip synced some parts?
@Anthony you’re right she’s not beyonce, she’s Kelly Rowland.
This is so funny. I am glad that Kelly finally had a great night. I just don’t see why team Kelly can’t enjoy it without taking shots at Bey. You make people that want to support Kelly feel obligated to clear things up to set the record straight and rightfully defend Bey.
Don’t make it seem like Kelly is coming straight out the gate with some massive hit. She’s been releasing tons of songs and videos(since 2010) that didn’t get her anywhere before Motivation.
Kelly have done some decent DC3 live shows, but for everyone of those I’ve seen just as many bad ones. You guys pretend that everyone wasn’t concerned about how well should would do because of all the stuff we’ve seen her doing since Commander.
Yes, the performance was good, but she wasn’t singing live. I’m okay with that because she was dancing. Let’s not forget that there were plenty of shows we’ve seen on TGJ, where she doesn’t move that much and still sounds breathy, while struggling through the
song.
Mathew and Bey didn’t hold Kelly down. Kelly held Kelly down, this is her 3rd solo album – Bey nor Mathew sung “Like This” at the BET 2006 awards and sounding like crap! What did you guys want them to do – hold her hand beg for people to accept her?
Finally Bey does promote this woman. She mentioned her last at the Billboard awards, when she received her Millenium award and has done this several times throughout her career. She even mentioned LeToya and Latavia – give it a rest!
Even after saying all this, I’m happy for Kelly. I just don’t get the “I get so lonely” feel to her performance(without mixing in a something to honor Janet). If this was Bey, lawd… Still good for Kelly Rowland, she did fantastic!
Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com
@TEAMKELLY I totally agree! If its her voice then she has the right to lip-sync her performances. I’m sure many of the great artist have done the same thang, because singing and dancing at the same time is hard. At lease she recorded live vocals and not get lazy like some people and lip-sync the original recorded song…cough cough…Britney…lol Kelly is doing it big whether you haters not wanting to believe it! Yes she still has some more growth to do but I think she is doing a damn good job compared to a year or two ago when she had no label, no manager and no team. She still kept pushing cuz she had a vision of what she wanted in her career. Sometimes you got to hit the bottom and lose stuff to get something greater.
WHAT EXACTLY DID SHE SLAY?!? SHE DID ALRIGHT BY KELLY’S STANDARDS,BUT PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE THIS MEDIOCRE PERFORMANCE TO A LEGENDARY BEYONCE PERFORMANCE. BEYONCE WAS AT GLASTONBURY,SLAYING IT FOR 90MINS, WITH LIVE VOCALS(NO LIP SYNCING) AND DANCING( NO COSTUME OR RESTING TIME). ALL KELLY DID WAS RIP OFF JANET’S “I GET SO LONELY” CONCEPT AND CHOREOGRAPHY(AND DIDN’T EVEN DELIVER LIKE JANET) AND TOP OF THAT SHE WAS LIP SYNCING THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE. SORRY I’M NOT IMPRESSED THE ONLY REASON WHY SOME FOLKS ARE JUMPING ON THIS S***** MESS, IS JUST TO SHADE BEYONCE.LETS SEE THE SAME FOLKS GO OUT AND BUY KELLY’S ALBUM WHEN IT COMES OUT
SMH! Of course people are making this a Bey vs. Kelly post. SMH! Dumb h***!
Anywho, she definitely did a great job & deserved her props. She had a lot to prove since this was her FIRST damn performance of this song anywhere! People were just waiting for her tear up the stage! She was performing like she had an album to sell! Lol!
I didn’t really like the outfit though, she was too covered up. I guess I just expected her to show a lil more skin csince the song was so s***! I could tell she was lip synching at parts too. Especially when she was down on her knees hollering, but she still did good.
Thank God she didn’t bring out Lil Weasel!! I didn’t need to see his ass! Having Trey up their with her was cool especially since he remixed the song.
Now I am dying to see about those sales next month! She needs to hurry up & drop that second single!
@MISSIMPARTIAL- As usualUR WRONG AGAIN!!!! I dont dislike every other female artist except QUEENBEY- I just dislike da one WHO CAN NOT SING LIVE…..not my fault ur faves fit in da catergory 🙂
I like her outfit better than beyonces glastonbury piece
@TRUTHTELLER Let not get head over heels and start calling Beyonce “Legendary” Until she can get on Madonna, Janet, MJ and Barbra Streisand level then she be call that, but right now she is no where near there…lol
PROUD OF THE DC GIRLS
BEYONCE APPRECIATION RUNNING TWO COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD AT ONCE

I’m keeping it real and honest. I’m a fan of kelly as well as of Beyonce, Michelle & LeToya, last night I believe all the anticipation of Kelly performing on the Bet Awards had everyone hipe for her performance. Yes Kelly did well, but why wouldn’t she, if she did mimick Janet’s early performance of “I get lonely all the way down to the hat. Also knowing that she actually can sing and what she lip-sync? I see she is becoming more comfortable in her career as commanding her stage presence, but Kelly sweetheart stop the lip-syncing and show your natural raw vocals. And people wants to conpare Kelly/Beyonce stop it, Beyonce is no comparison, and trully no one is really in Bey’s lane, s stop it. Bey killed her performance as usually, what a sold out performance at Glastonbury of over 175,000 you better work it Beyonce.
I Love this post! I hope she reads it! Not one neg comment about her performance! Now if she gets a #1 record she will be certifed Icon!
Good performance but shame it was lip synched. Check out where she says “Sing it ya’ll” even though the mic is nowhere near her face…
Great performance Kelly!! Yall need to check out this song tho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77G-Xq1_FGA

Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com
LMAO @ U fools thinkin she was only lip syncing some parts- SHE WAS LIPSYNCING HER WHOLE PERFORMANCE
Kelly did put on a nice performance I can’t deny that but let’s be real she relied on he pre-recorded vocals nothing live at all and what wassup with her outfit? The song is 2 s*** for Kelly to be so covered up until the end. And that hat Kelly u are a s*** chocolate girl what not show that on stage u covered up your whole face with that hat which was glued to your head she was good but she could have done a lot of things different to make her performance the best of the night
It was good, but i’m not going crazy!
Kelly did an incredible job and quite frankly people should STFU another using pre-recorded vocals. Every artists done it at some point in their career. I think now that she has done it and done it well, she needs to now prove moving forward that she can perform with the same tenacity and confidence while singing live. It’s important for her to eventually that way CONSISTENTLY!
Excuse my typos in ky previous comment. Too many to try and modify, LOL!
How come no one’s talking about how Kelly’s performance is an obvious homage to a 1998 performance by Janet Jackson?
http://youtu.be/TtOXptuJjb0
*my
Damn, this phone!
How come no one’s talking about how Kelly’s performance is an obvious homage to a 1998 performance by Janet Jackson? Go to YouTube and look up “Janet Jackson, I Get Lonely, Soul Train Awards”
Kelly lip synced that WHOLE performance, it was actually quite sad. I would have respected her more if she sung horribly live. But aside from the singing her choreography wasnt bad at all, shes improving.
& who is saying that Gaga lip synced anything? yall must either be full of s*** or confused about what a back track is.
Kelly needs to not be compared to Beyonce, Gaga, or even Rihanna at this point
THE PERFORMANCE WAS AVERAGE. IT WAS NOT SPECTACULAR AT ALL. REMINDS ME OF A JANET JACKSON PERFORMANCE SHE STILL DOES TODAY. YAAAAWN, NOTHING GREAT ABOUT IT. JANET DOES BETTER.
@Sonofbaldwin
I think its funny how no one is calling her all kinds of silly names in reference to her similar performance. I personally don’t have a problem with the similarities of her performance to Janets, but had that been Beyonce, LAWD! People would be going ballistic. I hate the double standard that most of these fools display. Smh.
Not only that but Kelly was also being very sexual and dancing in a very sexual way (lyrics of the song). Like I said I personally have NO problem with it, yet if it were Beyonce…….
LMFAOOO I Love Nene Leaks 😀
& Yes Her Performance Was Amazing! Idk If She Was Lip Syncing Tho??
#KingB2011
YO WHEN WILL IT STOP? SERIOUSLY. BEYNOTSAY LIPPED THAT BILLBOARD AWARDS PERFORMANCE 2 A LIVE VOCAL TRACK. SHE LIPPED THAT DEJA VU @ THE BET AWARDS N THE GET ME BODDIED AS WELL AS TILL THE END OF TIME LAST NIGHT. i HATE BRINGING HER UP BUT HONESTLY WITH THAT MUCH COREOGRAPHY N JUMPING AROUND NO-ONE CAN SING THAT CLEARLY WITHOUT U HEARING A BREATH OR SOME TYPE OF INDICATION OF HOW THEIR MOVING THEIR BODY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT BROAD BE THROWIN HERSELF ON THE FLOOR. WHETHER KELLY DID OR NOT @ CERTAIN PARTS I COULD TELL SHE WAS CLEARLY SINGING LIVE! GIVE HER THE SHINE SHE DESERVES AND LET HER SHINE ON HER OWN AS SHE DID ON THAT STAGE LAST NIGHT! THE OTHER BROADS NAME NEED NOT BE MENTIONED @ ALL! N SORRY I BROUGHT HER UP BUT NEEDED 2 MAKE A POINT. AT LEAST IF U CALL URSELF BEING THAT REAL HOLD EVERYONE 2 THE SAME CALLIBER N STANDERDS. HOW CAN 1 GET AWAY WITH IT AND NOT THE OTHER? U SMASHED KELLY! THERE WILL ALWAYS BE HATERS. KEEP PUSHIN N PRAY 4 THESE HATIN ASS HO’S. THE PUBLIC HAS SPOKEN. WOW MOMENT OF THE NIGHT?

Typical Beyonce stans=Bitter, catty b******….and 8 times out of ten, theses are men, mind you..SMDH!!! Anyways, SO THE F*** WHAT SHE LIPPED!!! It ain’t like she lipped the track like Britney dies, she lipperd her own PRE-RECORED VOCALS!!! For the slow ones that means that she sang the version LIVE then recorded it to use later….So what diffrence does it make, it’s still her voice, it wasn’t done in the studio, her voice>>>>>>>majority of all the other so-called singers!! she even suprised me..kile wow, ain’t no know she had it like that hittin all types of crazy notes, Beyonce struggles with (Lol). Trump card: being a Bey fan, you’d think they’d be the last to talk mess about pre-recoding vocals, then their ‘Queen’ has made a career of it….TRY IT!!
YO WHEN WILL IT STOP? BENOTSAY LIPPED THAT BILLBOARD PERFORMANCE 2 A LIVE VOCAL TRACK. SHE LIPPED THAT DEJA VU @ THE BET AWARDS N THE GET ME BODDIED AS WELL AS TILL THE END OF TIME LAST NIGHT. i HATE BRINGING HER UP BUT HONESTLY WITH THAT MUCH COREOGRAPHY N JUMPING AROUND NO-ONE CAN SING THAT CLEARLY WITHOUT U HEARING A BREATH OR SOME TYPE OF INDICATION OF HOW THEIR MOVING THEIR BODY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT BROAD BE THROWIN HERSELF ON THE FLOOR. WHETHER KELLY DID OR NOT @ CERTAIN PARTS I COULD TELL SHE WAS CLEARLY SINGING LIVE! GIVE HER THE SHINE SHE DESERVES AND LET HER SHINE ON HER OWN AS SHE DID ON THAT STAGE LAST NIGHT! THE OTHER BROADS NAME NEED NOT BE MENTIONED @ ALL! N SORRY I BROUGHT HER UP BUT NEEDED 2 MAKE A POINT. AT LEAST IF U CALL URSELF BEING THAT REAL HOLD EVERYONE 2 THE SAME CALLIBER N STANDERDS. HOW CAN 1 GET AWAY WITH IT AND NOT THE OTHER?

KEVIN HEART 41%
kELLY ROWLAND 46%
BENOTSAY 13 %
WINNER: MS. KELLY ROWLAND
THE PUBLIC SPEAKING. EAT THAT !
the “sing it yall!” was spoken with the mic by her thigh… that was the main give away right there, in addition to her sounding flawless while she was doing so much. i’ll give her props for fooling 80% of yall though, her fan base is building thanks to that performance.
Pariss, man u better say something…LET”S NOT make me go down the line of all the other’s too. After-all I myself, have NEVER discrediting Beyonce, or any other artist for that matter on using pre-recorded vocals. As long as the track is ‘Live’, and it’s their voice, makes no diffrence to me one way, or another if it’s done live, especially if it’s in the midst of a big rutine!! Point blank, if u are sanging, you are SANGIN!! A 1, or 2 day diffrence mean nothing…and Kelly most certainly was sanging her b*** off!!!!
Kellydid good,loved the hat, I HATE that she used prerecorded vocals, i noticed it when she said ‘sing it yaw’ and mic was away from her face. IF BEYDID THAT YAW WOULD HAVE BUTCHERED HER, so Kelly is no exception. And Bey did a 90min set NO breaks, sung live and danced. STILL LOVE KELLY, have a lot of respect for Bey and which is why she is better
Kelly shut it down, I have to admit!
I had no idea she could be that hot onstage!
EVERYONE LIP SYNCS. we all know kelly can sing, so she gets a pass for that.. she destroyed that perfomance.. please dont hate. she totally upstaged Beyonce, like ive been saying, the tables are turning…
kelly killed it – end of story – whether it was live or lip synched of half – whatever – by her standards she shut it down and everyone agrees – she has a beautiful voice and can sing live and for the kid of dance moves she was hitting last night (a lal janet britney ciara) a little lypsynch is a ok) and for the ppl who is glorifying beyonce ..she did ok but she is not a dancer – flinging her hair and c****** poppin…anyone can do that and sing live – her end of tiime performance was ok at best and there is not really a full set of 8 within that performance – run the world had more “chroeography” if u can call it that (not really) and if u watched her performance of run the world u noticed that she cut off the dance break down that appears in the video!
FACE IT!!! MS KELLY WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT – EVERYBODY AGREES – DEAL WITH IT – HERE I AM – JULY 26 – GET IT!
kelly did do a good job..but wtf she was lip syncing..OH OH ITS A BIG PROBLEM WHEN BRITNEY DOES IT…AND IF CIARA LIP SYNCED YALL WILL BASH THIS WOMAN TO DEATH..
I thought Kelly’s performance was amazin. I was however, a little bored with Beyonce’s performance I thought that it would have been a little more energetic. BET should have switched spots with Kelly and Beyonce because the show went off very boring.
so many silly people typing b******* on this it is not even funny. To compare dc3 girls is ridiculous. To compare kelly with Beyonce is even more ridiculous. Beyonce is the s*** and kelly cannot perform like her. I will no go on because many of B fans support kelly so I will not follow the ignorant children on these stupid blogs. Had Beyonce been at bet live that would be a different story.
@TR
I understand what you’re saying, and yes everyone including Beyonce has used pre-recorded vocals, but Kelly does eventually have to prove that she can sing good live while still dancing and entertaining the audience, something that Beyonce has proved a million times since she went solo. Beyonce has not made a career of lipping, nor can Kelly hit notes that Beyonce struggles to hit. Stop it. Don’t go overboard, boo. Anyway, let’s not take this performance of Kelly lipping like its something she should ALWAYS do. She still needs to prove alot more moving forward, this is just the beginning.
Kelly mixed in some prerecorded vocals with some live singing, she was the BEST, and she did an INCREDIBLE job. She was AMAZING !!!! He goes Beyonce’s bitter a** stans, upset cause Kelly stole the show. Just enjoy it like everyone else.
Beyonce’s “Ring The Alarm” performance, that was a Ripoff of Janet’s performance, don’t act like Beyonce hasn’t mixed in prerecorded vocals to her live performances as well.
Kelly did great I love her and Beyonce the same, i will def. be buying both albums…..

“flinging her hair & c****** poppin”? @Lyric Commander Lee

a “little” lip syncing? the WHOLE thing was lip synced. Kelly speaking to the audience wasnt even live. sorry to drag your fave through the mud but it needs to be said

Some people on this site take stanning to another level which is not healthy for the human mind and soul.
WHY THE F*** ARE PEOPLE COMPARING KELLY TO BEYONCE -_-..WHY DONT YALL COMPARE KELLY TO SOMEBODY WHOS O HER LEVEL LIKE KERI HILSON,CIARA
KELLY AINT ON CIARA OR KERI LEVEL EITHER.
CIARA HAS HAD PLATINUM ALBUMS AND HIGH CHARTING SINGLES BY HERSELF.
KELLY SINGLE PEAKED AT # 29 ON THE HOT 100 AND THEY ACT AS IF SHE
IS KILLING THE GAME. NO MA’AM

All all im gonna say is all you” bandwagon” fans not myself cuz I have both albums just make sure y’all go out and buy her album july 28th! y’all doing all this stanning, and I agree with amazing lee beyonce has already proving herself, million and one times! this one performance kelly does and she shitted all over beyonce?? ok some of y’all are delusional, and just the fact that she wasn’t singing live didn’t really prove anything, we know she can sing, hell even britney sings live and dances why couldn’t kelly?? I loved her performance I liked beyonce more because she had way more energy than kelly. If kelly would have walked back and forth y’all would have said that s*** was wack. Lol. It just nobody expected her to do so good, it was good not great.
Kelly did not sing any parts live, it was all pre-recorded! If she didn’t even talk (sing it yall) live then nothing she did was live. Like I said its not a big deal, but people do need to stop being so blind to what their favorite artists are doing but wide-eyed when its not their favorite artist.
I don’t understand why people are comparing Beyonce’s concert performance to Kelly’s music awards perfornance. Bid damn difference!! Kelly and be(on the solo tip) aren’t even in the same league. Compare Kelly to Keri or Ciara and exit these stupid comments to stage left. People lov eto hate on light skinned peoples success. Ifyou have something against Beyonce, please don’t discredit her work because you hate someone you don’t even know. WTH?!
That was very ‘I get lonely’-ish ….but nevertheless I loved it. Best s*** she did since Dilemma/Stole.
Kelly deserves more …esp. compared to Britney Spears/ChristinaAgu/LadyGaga/Rihanna/etcetcetcetcetc.
^You praise someone who you dont even know.
@STILL NOT IN THE NEWS
Motivation peaked at 21 on HOT100.
People are always comparing the two, but they are both amazing. It’s Kelly’s time to shine now because Beyonce has always been so consistent. Kelly is rising, fast. As a DC fan I’m always happy for all of them. It’s just recently that I’ve gotten more into Beyonce, she works so hard it can’t be ignored.
@THEMAN4U – I literally just LOL and hollered at work! You are soooo right and I said the same thing she is not the first or the only, and most certainly not the infamous! #1 certain elements were live, but the main vocals were lipped to a live recording of the song, #2 In agreement, Mariah and Ceine have been miming high notes for years. #3 Yes, Rihanna needs to be lipsynching(that’s the party I hollered out loud on) and #4, Beyonce has and always will need a backing track! She is very talented but she needs her enhancement, including that echo and vibrato effect that she uses, that is not humanly possible…
That was the BEST performance of the night! Loved it! No shadows anymore!!!
@TheMan
Beyonce’s performance of RTA was a Janet rip-off, right? That’s fine if you believe that, but why haven’t you called Kelly’s performance a Janet rip-off? This is what I mean by the double standards. You praise Kelly’s performance and how she “stole the show,” but no mention of her Janet rip-off (not that I agree). You guys can call out Beyonce all day but go totally “Ray Charles” when its some other artist.
Kelly did that last night. PERIOD. She was the best.
YEA I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh please beyonce performance was away from the bet awards and many had already seen it if beyonce was literally present at the BET AWARDS SHE WOULD HAVE MURDERED EVERY SINGLE1 OF THOSE B****** AND STILL IT WAS AMAZING KELLY DID A GREAT JOB ALL OF U WHO IS CONGRATULATING HER I HOPE U ALL GO AND SUPPORT HER ALBUM
LAST NIGHT BELONGED TO KELLY ROWLAND! ANYONE WHO SAY’S OTHER WISE JUST PLAN OLE DON’T LIKE HER SIMPLE AS THAT!! SHE KILLED LAST NIGHT IN A SHOW STOPPING PERFORMANCE. SHE KNEW THIS WAS THE PERFORMANCE TO MAKE OR BREAK HER CAREER. AND WHAT BETTER OF A PERSON TO DRAW NSPIRATION FOR A SONG LIKE THIS OTHER THEN JANET JACKSON!!! 10’S ACROSS THE BORED MISS KELLY!
Amazing Lee
U r right. However some Beyonce stans r a nasty bunch to every other artist. I dont care how good they r. Beyonce gets a lot of the heat she gets because many stans cannot give others credit without all the extra b******* and always comparing. Do I feel Bey is the best in the game? Yes. Hands down. But I enjoyed Kelly more last night. Every artist has good and bad days and that includes our girl. Some stans treat her like she some sort of 8th wonder of the world and I think thats y so many people cannot not wait to get at her.
As much as I love Beyonce and I think she is the best I understand that its just my opinion.
It is clear that all these years the Knowles family was truly holding back this talent. This includes Mama Knowles who would dress her up in unflattering clothes & hair styles/colors. Altho, I do feel she was dancing a bit “hard” for such a sensual mid-tempo song.
Beyonce is not the best in the game. She’s good at what she do but their are better artist….

KELLY ROWLAND-TORE THAT S*** UP.BEST PERFORMANCE-EPIC…..:)!
Kelly is cool & everything, i absolutely LOVED Commander, Motivation is still growing on me but its a nice song.
My issue is that when an artist is performing on stage they need to give it their ALL, and my definition of that is LIVE vocals and some choreography if it fits the song. Kelly gave me the choreography but not the Live vocals, so im not too impressed. if that makes me a “hater” then so be it.
If you’re going to swaggerjack Janet Jackson that hard, at least own it. That performance was mediocre at best. Just a lot of gyrating we’ve seen time and again.
I Knew it!!!…All the haters are out of the wood work….some people are bitter and sad..just because Kelly slayed and has shaken you all…you are obviously looking for ways to tear her down….It ain’t gone work…THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
Congrats to Kelly.WELL DESERVED.Maybe the buzz she got on Twitter will help Motivation cross over A BIT.A little mainstream coverage wouldn’t hurt her…
(LeToya is so sweet.Hope she comes back soon)
loved it !!!
To me Kelly’s performance was okay at best. I like original choreography and live singing. Kelly’s performance from her outfit to the dance routine was a direct copy of what Janet did at the Soul Train Awards 1998 for I Get So Lonely. Nothing original, nothing to brag about, and nothing to put Kelly out there as a better solo act.

“TheMan4u
June 27, 2011 at 2:54 pm
its funny all the people are talking about she lipped it are big fans of
Mariah carey – famous for lipping
beyonce – who has been known to use a backing track
Celine Dion – Lipped most of her shows in Vegas for awhile
GaGa- who lipped the born this way at the Grammy’s
Rihanna – who should be lipping
Janet – known to use pre-recorded vocals
and many more, so LET KELLY BE GREAT, she shut it down so give her props instead of the hate.
”
TheMan4u Kelly was not great. All the people you listed as lipping are proven solo acts and headliners. All of those women have already sang live numerous times so a performance from would not establish them like Kelly would need. Kelly is 3 albums deep and has yet been able to become a headliner because she lacks the IT factor like those other women do.
Kelly did her thing last night! Period. We’re so used to her being more laid back when it comes to her performances, so this was quite surprising to see. Now all of a sudden, everyone wants to say that the woman lip synched. We all know it was a pre-recorded track as far as the music is concerned, because there was no live band up there playing the music. If that’s the case, then call out some of the other artists who performed and didn’t have a live band backing them up. The music itself may have been pre-recorded, but I truly believe that she sang to the music herself. That didn’t sound like lip synching to me. The bottom line is……the woman did a good job! Had she just stood there in one spot or walked back and forth on stage, people would have been calling her performance “boring” or saying that she lacked, “stage presence”. But, she sang the song and danced. Now, people are going to find something else to complain about with her performance. Bump that Kelly…..you did your s***!
Enough with the “she lip synched the whole thing.Shame on her” talk. It was an AWARDS SHOW.If it was a LIVE concert, you would have every right to drag her and bash her with no end, but THIS WAS THE BET AWARDS. You didn’t pay to watch her perform and it’s more about impressing with your APPEARANCE/PRESENCE rather than your vocals
People hate beyonce so much that they over hyped this performance..
While it was good and one of the best of the night, it wasn’t Kelly’s best performance.
And Beyonce had been performing for an hour….as much I love Kelly, had she been performing for an hour and then tried to do a performance for BET, she would have fell flat.
This was a great performance compared to her “Like This” performance. Cant wait to see her perform again….
#TeamBeyonce #TeamKelly #TeamMusic…..
@ SENSE
WHAT… GIRL BOOM!
THE BLACK NON-FACTORS HAVE SPOKEN YOU MEAN.
BECAUSE NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY BUT THEM ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS.
MTV STARTED BY SAYING SOMEONE OTHER THAN KELLY RAN THE BET AWARDS
AND THE REST FOLLOWED SUIT.
THIS IS BET, THE LEAST WATCHED MUSIC AWARDS SHOW IN HISTORY.
THE ONLY WAY THEY KEPT ANY RATINGS WAS TO KEEP ANNOUNCING BEYONCE’S
NAME! LMAO
@MrT, B performed BTINH and EOF pretty early at her concert.She had definetely not been performing for an hour before she sang those tracks.Maybe a quarter or 20 mins but NOT an hour.
@Still Not In The News – You’re right about one thing, BET did save Beyonce’s performance towards the end of the show that way it will keep people watching. It’s funny how they tried to be strategic with that move, but all you hear people talking about is Kelly Rowland’s performance more.
Lol @ people saying Gaga lip syncs. Gaga always sings live, even if she sounds bad. Gaga vowed never to lip sync cuz it adds a lie to the performance. Provide a video a Gaga lip syncing & I will believe you.
Hate to break it but the overstanning is doing more harm than good. Kelly did a great job but it wasn’t earth shattering. People are making it like she’s the next MJ or Madonna. That’s why people are ripping the performance on blogs. Same goes for other artists. Stanning is out of control. Otherwise, I still have issues with her management. This ratched BET awards is laughable. If they want to promote her, they need to have more appearances in the States. Motivation probably could have been a #1 pop hit if she had better promotion. I just sense a ball being dropped. Here in the US anyway. Which is a shame, she has the moves and chops. Like now, all I hear is about Breezy and Rick Ross stomach, how lame the show was. They need to get her on a major awards show.
@Rihanna Beyonce Stan
You’re right some Beyonce stans are nasty but how is that different from how nasty some of her non-fans are? People photoshopping gravatars of her and using their screen names as Beyodel, Lacefronce, Beyaki, Credit stealing camel c*** sucker, Beyonslut, Beyonic, and MANY more! So if Beyonce stans don’t give credit it’s still not a good enough excuse when there are those trolls that are no better than the Beyonce stans. The trolls come with just as much extra b******* and comparisons as her stans. Not to mention, just like her stans treat her like an 8th wonder, the trolls treat her like a serial killer who killed their mother. It goes both ways, IMO. And even if the Beyonce stans are being nasty, it still remains illogical to display a double standard. What you feel about Beyonce should apply to every other artist regardless of her stupid stans.
@Sheree – I understand where you’re coming from. It may come across as “stanning”, but what I really think it is, is that people didn’t expect her to do as well as she did last night. If you look at past Kelly Rowland performances, she was pretty laid back and “safe” when it came to being on stage and doing her thing. I guess people wanted to see if she really had it in her to break out of that mold of being “safe” and “comfortable” when it comes to performing. She showed a side of herself last night that was never seen before and I think that’s why everyone is so up in arms about it. She was more “confident” and “s***”. When have you ever seen Kelly perform like this? Besides, the song is called, “Motivation”. She had to bring it! People have always called Kelly, “boring” or that she lacked “stage presence”. With a sensual song like, “Motivation”, she had to prove herself. And, I think she did an excellent job. You’re right in the fact that she is no Michael Jackson. But again, people are responding the way that they are because this is not of the norm when it comes to Kelly. I bet everyone was thinking that she was going to be as dry as paint. But, she flipped it and now it has everyone talking.
i gave kelly her props but she was lip syncing NO IFS BUTS ABOUT IT..BUT COMPARE TO HER 2007 BET PERFORMANCE IT WAS A IMPROVEMENT
Kelly’s performance was amazing!!! Def will be getting her album.
If she was lip synching, I don’t see a problem. With Beyonce, she sings live because she has a VERY different voice. It’s operatic, and, as much as I respect her, she does yell a lot and vibrate her voice. It’s not ALWAYS “singing” but that’s Bey’s style. It’s allows her to put on an amazing show.
Kelly’s voice is more traditional, even more like a Whitney sometimes in her tone. She also does WAY different choreography than Beyonce. She’s not doing uber sext hair swinging, energetic/ Tina Turner choreography. She’s hitting precise Janet-esque moves.
All of these difference need to be considered and when you consider them it makes sense for her to lip synch this performance. She CAN sing so it’s a non-issue. She put on a show. Period. It was wonderful and people are steadily trying to take that away from her because they feel threatened. NO ONE can threaten Beyonce, so it would be nice if people could just give credit, or say why they didn’t like it without stanning.
Where were all u haters last night when that broad only recieved 13% of the votes? Lol I’m a realist. N y’all don’t live in reality. N reality Kelly did the damn thing last night n the haters wish she hadn’t. So sad… Bet u she get that Who Rocked The Mic award 2day 2 lol. #TEAMKELLY let’s Go, Go, Go, GO!
Yall still goin on about this???? Kelly mic wasnt even on….. u can tell at the end of the video wen she TRIED so desperatly to look s*** by takin her clothes off- her and Trey held da mic up to their face to say ‘yeah’ but u ONLY HEARD TREYS VOICE!!!!!! *That performance was a EPIC LIPSYNCING FAIL*
i honestly do not give a f***..but when kelly here i am first week sales come she better do over 120k IF NOT IM GOING IN ON KELLY ROWLAND FANS..THEY HYPE THIS GIRL UP SO MUCH BUT WHEN HER ALBUM COMES OUT +CRICKETS+ YALL NO WHERE TO BE FOUND..
I am such a softee I cried for her
her dancing was kinda intense, so the fact that she used pre-recorded vocals is ok, imo.
and let’s not act like beyonce never lipsynched….
@ PARRIS BLACK,
YOU TALKING ABOUT A POLL ON A WEBSITE OF A HALF-ASSED NETWORK?
NO BEYONCE FANS WERE THERE BECAUSE NO ONE CARED THAT MUCH.
YOU TRIED THAT. I NEED KELLY STANS TO HAVE A SEAT BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY EARLY
THIS YEAR SHE WAS MORE OF A NON-FACTOR THAN SHE IS NOW.
ONLY BEYONCE HATERS ARE HOPPING ON HER BANDWAGON.
BUT CLEARLY EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE BEYONCE AND KELLY STAND IN
COMPARISON TO EACH OTHER.
where has Beyonce or Gaga ever lip synced? i’d really love to see that
defending lip syncing through an ENTIRE performance is just lowering the standard of performance art, you Kelly fans might as well support Britney while youre at it.
Ellen said it best: if you’re titled as ‘singer’ you should sing live
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK3Gd6Dx05k#t=75
I was cheering for Kelly. Always have been. I WILL BE BUYING the album. #teamKelly all the way!!!! I loved how she broke it down. QUESTION: If you know you not gonna be in town for the BET awards…….(and haven’t really performed there in years because you “too big’) WHY????? Why be so pressed to skype your lily white performance to the BET awards… the same day your “sister” FINALLLLLYYYYYY gets her own big performance???? Simple question.
@DC_Diva
b**** have a seat..beyonce was performing in the glastonbury festival making history..debra lee the owner of b.e.t wanted beyonce to perform..so they did the via satellite performance..NOW DOESNT THAT POKE A HOLE IN YOUR LOGIC…
GREAT PERFORMANCE KELLY U KILLED IT LAST NIGHT..I WAS SO TIRED BUT I MADE SURE I SAW MY GIRL ROCK IT .WAY TO GO KELLY. B THATS A NO- NO WORST PERFORMANCE EVER.PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON IM TIRED OF SEEING YOUR ASS.YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL LADY SHOW SOME CLASS..THIS IS THE WORST I’VE EVER SEEN..COME ON GIRL DO THE DAMN THING.BUT IM STILL ROOTING FOR KELLY
I cant stop laughing at these comments…..especially the beyonce stans comments…..
its funny how they are first to call people haters, WHEN THEY ARE THE BIGGEST HATERS…
we all know for a fact that kelly is a great singer, so if she choose to lip sync, so the f*** what…
second, are you stans really gonna try to call out kelly for dancing like janet, when ur king of lacefront, is the biggest swagga jacker known to man?
Kelly shut up a lot of fools last night!
@Rated X
LOL, you’re the main person with the double standards! You’re the FIRST to call out Beyonce for her “stealing”or “swagger jacking” yet you, just like others, haven’t said a damn thing about Kelly’s performance being similar to Janet’s.

Beyonce has also done some of Janet’s moves too. Remember her live performance of, “Ring The Alarm”? She had a group of female dancers backing her up, they all had on what looked like trench coats and they were doing plenty of moves that looked very similar to Janet’s moves from, “Rhythm Nation”? Tell me you don’t remember that? Everyone was cool with that. Hell, you even had some folks thinking that she made the dances moves up herself! *serious side eye*. The difference between Beyonce and other artists, is that the other artists don’t deny that they’ve been influenced by others when it comes to their performances. But, Bey on the other hand, likes to make everyone think that she’s “original” and comes up with these ideas on her own. If anyone were to ask Kelly if she was inspired by Janet Jackson for that performance, I doubt that she would lie and say, “No, I wasn’t”. She would give credit where it’s due. But, Bey on the other hand likes to make people believe that she’s “fresh”, “new” and “original” with her ideas sometimes. She “rarely”, I didn’t say “never”, but she rarely gives other artists credit for her ideas that she’s used from them.
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KELLY SLAYED EVERYONE’S LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HATERS WILL STAY MAD!
@FAMEKILLS
Ellen is a D***, so therefore her opinion is NULL & VOID.
lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvved the performance…..congrats to kelly rowland, she’s worked so hard to get to where she’s at now…..again congrats….
@MUTHAFUCKAH WE ROWLAND
LMAO! you ignorant twat 🙂
shes a fan of music like you & i, our opinions matter
you guys need to stop saying that kelly, was lip syncing……she was singing…
Backing track or no backing track KELLY SHUT S*** DOWN!! With that classy s*** Luam Routine and them s*** ass dancer (Trey SuX can sit his no shirt wearing ass all the way down) they all stole the show.
Bey late tired ass phoned in her performance. I starting to think this whole Bey album and disorganized mess is choreographed to stir up the “Bey v Kelly” hype and support Kelly deserves. Cause this go around Beyonce is just not gettin it.
What’s funny is that if Kelly had just remembered to keep her mic up at “sing it ya’ll” she would have fooled almost everyone to thinking that that was live. But a while back on another site they posted a club peformance of Kelly singing Motivation live, and it sounded a hot mess. We all know damn well no human voice can sound pitch perfect while dutty whining ur head. It’s just not possible! When B sings RTW and says “I think I need a barber…” while shking her head, her vocals change and are not on pitch. But when Kelly is grinding on the floor and bobbing her head, they are pitch perfect? GTFOH!

I see she make some of y’all real mad. Well guess what stay mad cause Kelly Rowland killed it. I cannot understand people why do y’all want to keep comparing Kelly and Beyonce. Just shut the f*** up. Kelly did her thing. Why can’t people just accept that?
But this line RatedXXX said is too damn funny:
second, are you stans really gonna try to call out kelly for dancing like janet, when ur king of lacefront, is the biggest swagga jacker known to man?
Too damn Funny!

@BAM BAM
lol thanks for the evidence but at least Beyonce has proved herself, but once again thanks
Y’all are f****** retarded. That performance was nothing special. Nothing I haven’t seen before.
Get yourselves together, stop wetting your panties.
@ Still Not In The News
A real fan supports regardless so u tried that. I’m never a hater. Benotsay is a great performer but when performing a track with much coreography she lipsings 2 a pre-recorded track. Duh! It’s just not humanly possible 2 do all of that n sound perfect. Let it go. Ur angry because ur girl is now leaving us all bored as he’ll n No-one is checking 4 her right now. The singles n songs thus far have been whack n not on the level of her previos work. That ain’t Kelly’s fault. It is what it is. Motivation is STILL number 1. Where is RTW? Not even in the top 50! Facts. Not opinion. Beyonce is not God. Stop worshiping her. She had a great run. Not disputing that. She is not perfect. As much as u would like her 2 be. Michael Jackson was the greatest performer 2 bless a stage. He never lipsang n worked much harder than this broad. When he sang n was dancing u heard breaths n things indicating he was singing live. U heard breaths n everything. Don’t be MADD cuz Kelly smashed. We’ll pray 4 u. Kelly Killed it n nobody cares bout Benotsay anymore lmao!!!!!!!
YESSS!! YESSS!!
Totally Janet!
Kelly is a good performer but NOBODY in their right mind can say she SLAYED Beyonce.
Congrats to Kelly but people are more shocked that she did a GOOD job because she doesnt usually.
Whereas if Beyonce did a BAD job people would be shocked because she always excels on stage.
And if youre STILL convinced that Kelly is “better”
all you need to do is compare Bey and Kellys careers since leaving DC.
Then you can have a seat.
NOTICE, THE ONLY PEOPLE COMMENTING ARE HAS BEENS AND NEVER BEENS.
KELLY DID GOOD THO, TO MY SURPRISE EVEN IF SHE DID LIP SYNC.
Like I aid last Kelly rocked the Bet Awards. She even made Trey Songz look good.
For those haters who think Kelly was lip-synching are wrong if you listen to the
end of performance you can tell she is actually singing. Still not in the News,
guess what whose in the Kelly Rowland is all over the news. Take that you
dumb a** as fool.
Kelly may have lip-synched but it was still a great performance. Bey only lipsynchs sometimes, but not the whole song. If u watch Glastonbury, she never lipsynchs because you can hear the breathing and usually when she gets tired she just asks the crowd to sing.
I am a Kelly STAN, but she lip synched at BET and I’ve just got no respect for that. Sorry.
She had excellent vocals, and sang better than artists that stand still when they sing. Her only downfall was bringing trey songz on stage.
KELLY ROWLAND SLAYED EVERY OTHER PERFORMER AT BET !!!!!!
KELLY ROWLAND SLAYED EVERY OTHER PERFORMER AT BET !!!!!!
KELLY ROWLAND SLAYED EVERY OTHER PERFORMER AT BET !!!!!!
KELLY ROWLAND SLAYED EVERY OTHER PERFORMER AT BET !!!!!!
She SHUT DOWN all the haters! I’m a Beyonce fan, but last night I was like, Beyonce who? Didn’t even get to the Beyonce performance, by the end of Kelly’s performance I was already trying to find it on youtube. Kelly SHUT IT DOWN!!!
For all you haters out there. Kelly killed it and then some.
And if you wanna talk Beyonce, let’s talk…alot of her performances that required her to dance she was singing with playback. The exact same thing Kelly was doing. She does it ALOT. She does it at her concerts. So stop hating on Kelly for doing what Beyonce has been doing for years. If you don’t believe me, just go and watch her award show performances and try and tell me she is singing 100% live in the ones where it required her to dance.
Even Gaga sings live more than Beyonce. You stans are just too busy kissing her ass and putting her on a pedestal to even see it.
Learn to give props where props is due b******.
