Kelly Rowland looks set to cap off the phenomenal chart success of ‘Motivation’ with a performance slot on Urban music’s biggest calender night.
Full story after the jump…
After much speculation, it has been confirmed that the 30 year will indeed be taking to the stage at the BET Awards 2011 in Los Angeles next Sunday (June 26th). Reliable sources reveal that the slot will serve as Rowland’s first televised performance of ‘Motivation’.
The singer is among a string of new performers added to the night’s impressive line up. Along with her, Trey Songz and Mary J Blige join the likes of Chris Brown, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, and Drake on the list of those taking to the stage.
We here at That Grape Juice have been hearing the terms ‘career-defining’ and ‘break out moment’ being touted about what the Destiny’s Child diva has planned. Needless to say, next Sunday couldn’t come any sooner.
Kelly’s third studio album ‘Here I Am’ hits stores on July 26th via Universal Motown.
STILL NO BEYONCE ??

This is her time and we riding hard for our leading lady! #TEAMKELLY all day!

@KAT DELUNA FAN Your comment could not be understood.. please try again later or visit the website: help.com

@ KAT DELUNA FAN – lol they decided that if your current single is not in the top 10 on any chart in the world that you can’t perform. . . [checks the chart numbers for Run The World] LOL

BEYONCE WAS JUST CONFIRMED!!!!!!!
OH HELL. KELLY AND BEYONCE?!??!??!?!?
IT’S ABOUT TO GOOOOOOO DOWWWWWWWWNNNNNN.
YESSSS B**** BEYONCE IS GONNA DO HER THING..HATERS JUMP OFF A F***** BRIDGE
That’s my opinion.I love Kelly rowland and some performers announced but I am not interested into wachtin it.
Questions?
1-Cant I voice my opinion?
2-Why should u think I am hating kelly when I am a DC fan?
funny how people can judge u for a single comment
3-WHAT IN THE FREAKIN BUTTOM B******* KAT DELUNA HAS TO DO WITH MY OPINION ?????????????????
4-So now that Kelly rowland got a TOP30 song,she is successful and better than Kat deluna blah blah?
Cant believe how I support all those girls in the struggle (JOJO,ALEXANDRA BURKE,AMERIE,CIARA,NICOLE..) but once one get a lil shine their stans treat the other ‘FLOP SINGERS’ like S***.
THANKS
LESSON LEARNED
Ok thanks Chris but this is a Kelly post. While B will perform from the UK Miss Rowland will be in the building doing her thing. Lets not forget they are cut from the same cloth…one just had the right people in her corner from the beginning!
My how the tables are turning!

I LOVE KELLY AND SO HAPPY FOR HER
BUT STOP HATING KAT DELUNA FOR EVERY AND EACH OF MY COMMENT
@stoney-brie
what b******* ? take a W.C. seat and s***
NEXT
SAM, you are really DOING AGAINST Kelly Rowland with these phenomenal success thing? That song is a FLOP. Look at the Bb hot 100.
Last year when Christina Aguilera had the same position with Not Myself Tonight, this site talked about the flop and struggling of her. Now you call the same chart position as phenomenal success.
Don’t be ridicolous, this site is losing the small credit it had yet every day with such kind of thing. And it puts Kelly into a really negative status because it suggests that maybe you are a paid advertisor of her management.
It is really against Kelly.
DON’T DO DOUBLE STANDARD!
I’m happy for Kelly….I kno she will do well
@Kat Deluna Fan you keep failing even more to a point that your shade is even expired.. try again later..
Kelly u betta bring it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@FlopJuice
Kelly Rowland is an R&B artist.
“Motivation” is an R&B song.
“Motivation” is also the #1 R&B song in America.
It has been #1 for about the past 3 weeks.
It’s a smash hit.
DEAL.
I’ll be watching. Congrats kelly
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HER PERFORM THIS!!! HER VOCALS BETTER BE ON POINT!!!
ayaaaaaaaaaa KELLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY MY MOTIVATION TO WATCH THE BET !!!
your dear
french fan !!!!
cant wait!!!!
baby I’ma be yo motivation!
AM I THE ONLY ONE NOT FELLING THIS SONG? I LIKE HER MUSIC BUT NOT THIS SONG. ITS CORNY TO ME. I NEED A BETTER SINGLE. I LIKED “COMMANDER”. LOL
FEELING* F***!
So happy her and bey are slaying these lesser gurls right now.
Good News
Get it Kelly. I hope U wear ur Donna Summers fro.
@Sam —
So 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland is to perform? Well, I guess that’ll be no better time for a then ‘restroom break.’ I mean, every show needs an act/performer that’ll be everyone’s que to then make a silent, hopefully dignified, retreat for bladder/bowl evacuation, no?
Let’s see.. 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland on stage? Loads of attitude (Gays just LOOOVE that), lots of weave tossing, coupled together with layer-upon-layer of foundation, toner, and “Covergirl’s Best” (30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland is quite flawed, you know, with “Racoon Eyes” to match) – ALL then to be capped off by her already-witnessed nauseatingly-weak stage presence, and quivering mono-tonality!
(And here I am thinking there could never be a challenger to/for Feckless-Fenty’s reign as “The Most Boring Human (to ever take a stage)..!!”)
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
Do your thang Kelly. Kelly has an r&b song, Pop caters to the biggest audience. So this is a huge hit for Kelly, it seems like they’ll try to send it to Pop as well.
YAY Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is great. I can’t wait.
OMG Tears
kelly better bring it cus i loves me some her
I love Motivation, so i’m really excited to see her perform the song live.
@THEMAN it was sent to Pop last week! #SoHappy
KELLY Who? Kelly What??
http://i55.tinypic.com/sdejyv.gif
Beyonce should be the ONLY B**** Allowed to ever Perform!!
YEEEESSSS KELLY GO HEAD GIRL I CAN NOT WAIT I AM TOO PROUD OF HER
HATERS stay the f*** mad! Kelly is coming to slay this year. She’s about to shut this s*** down! So hold on to your wigs ladies! They are about to be snatched for filth!
I LOVE KELLY! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HER! SHE’S AN AMAZING LIVE PERFORMER!
I can’t wait!!!!!!! She better SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!
I like Kelly, i like this song but i don’t know about it live.
I hope they don’t do like they did the last time when Kelly preformed Like This and the Beyonce did get me bodied
Yay! and she looks stunning on that pic!
Now that’s what i am talking about, Motivation is still No 1, Lay it on me is gathering positive buzz, she is killing it on X factor and now…set to kill it on the BET stage #Teamkelly is on fire…oh and stop hating on these two women, Beyonce is set to help Kelly pick finalists for her team on X factor..that is sisterhood at its best ..i love both women, i support both women. Beyonce has been at the top for a minute so i’m just excited Kelly is finally getting her shine…go go go go
Don’t bring up B on KELLY’S topic, damn.
Anyway, I’m excited & happy for Kelly. This is her moment. I’m happy that R&B as a whole is starting to rebirth. Kelly, Adele, Bey, Brandy..I’m happy.
Kelly better rip the BET awards apart! I’m curious as to what’s on “Here I Am”, I hope it’s not as dancy as “Commander”. Kelly better be SINGING on this album, s***!
fickle ass people with their pettiness, so dam sad to hateon a beautiful
young artist who’s only guilty of working hard and not bothering any one
it’s just so SAD WHEN GROWN ASS GUTTER RATS BASHES THE HELLOUT OF KELLY ROWLAND.
KELLY SAYS TO KISS HER TIGHT ASS, BYTCHES SMART PEOPLE KNOW THAT WHEN THEREIS A FIXATION ON CERTAIN ARTISTS THEN IT’S NOT THAT ARTIST
CARES IF A/H WANTS TO TRY AND DEGRADE THEM IT’S ALL GOOD. YOU CAN BET YOUR SWEER ASSES THAT EVERY “BASHING DOG” WILL HAVE THEIR DAY
AND WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, BYTCH YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
RIGHT????
@kavion didn’t know Adele could be considered RnB but i get your point definitely excited for soul music again and all sorts of music , i don’t like boxing my music tastes which is why Kelly is one of my faves…BET you got it right this time
kelly’s “motivation” is one of the most beautiful songs on the charts right now
she shows emotions, depth, strong vocals, and simply put kelly rowland
is a power house,,,,,,the biggest haters need to check her out (kelly) up
close and personal @KissMySexyTightAss.roadrunner.net
Yes Kelly..Please slay our lives with your performance!
Saw this from the beginning, well done Kelly, wonder what she will perform?
Finally, some performance from Kelly Rowland!! Relived! A resounding YES!!!
ALLELUIA !!!!!!!!! FINALLY BET YOU DIDN’T LET HER DOWN !!!! IT’S ABOUT TIME SHE DIDN’T PERFORM ON A MAJOR SHOW BY HERSELF !!!! CONGRATS KELLY NOW YOU BETTER ROCK THIS ONE AND SHOW WHAT MOTIVATES YOU GURL!!! GO GO GO GO
BET don’t be messy and bring Kelly out right before Beyonce or right after like once before.
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Rowl on June 26
ALRIGHT MS KELLY! I LIKE THE PIC TOO. SHE IS REALLY STEPPING IN TO HER BEAUTY!
I just hope that Kelly rocks this performance because I’ve been loving her lately. Go Ms Kelly.
OMG! That’s all I have to say at this point! The last time I saw her on the BET Awards was when she performed “Bump like this” with Eve- I’m so ready for her to kill it! Being that she has been performing around the world with her biggest hit to date ‘When love takes over’ I doubt that she will have to worry about the nervous factor that she had to deal with back then! OMG! SHE IS GOING TO SLAY!
While I am excited, I decide to be hopeful that this will be a great performance. Performing is not Kelly’s strong point but Iam hoping that her and her team work hard on a phenominal delivery of which ever song(s).
I’m really happy for Kelly!
Its kickass that both Kelly and Beyonce will be performing on BET this year. It would be heaven if Michelle was also performing something. A dream would be all of the lady’s to do a concert. Not as destiny’s child but as 3 artist standing on the own.
Wow now that is hot!! Call it the Destiny Fulfillment Tour !
#2011Wesupportall!
IM SO DAMN HAPPY GO KELLY!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Kelly aint playing this time. You better “WORK” that stage girl. I am so excited!
she better slay!!! so well that Beyonce cant overshadow her
Now is the time, everything is in place for her to really breakout! Her performance in ’07 was okay but her mic was so low no one could hear her so she needs to make sure that aint the case! This will either win people or lose people right now she has their attention lets hope she gives a performance worth keeping it. Shes had a hard solo journey but with this performance she can finally start making the ball move in the States.
And I hope BET lets her open that would be very nice of them as Bee has opened 3 times twice solo so to allow Kelly to open the show would be great.
Actually, is she really gonna perform on the show or the pre-show? I hope its the show.
SHE STILL BEY’S SHADOW
Go Kelly!!!
Kelly will be able to show his talent, and she deserves it! | Just say one thing: “Caution Bee”!
This is to the haters:
SCREAMS FROM THE HATERS, GOT A NICE RING TO IT.
greetings from Kanye
GET A REAL JOB. No one is telling u not to voice your opinion, it’s rather the way u do it,
with no intelligence behind it. Just brute ignorance and stupidity. They are artist and everyone is entitled to like a certain artist.
Just as I will never go to Beyoncés thread and put on stupid comments, because I respect her as a hard working woman I expect u all to have the decency to do the same.
Grow up, it’s getting OLD SCHOOL
Lip syncing again Kelly? Someone give her the motivation please.
Mehhh.
