With Kelly Rowland ‘Motivation’ sitting pretty at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Chart for a 2nd week, no time seems more apt than the present to release the song’s official remix.
And what a remix it is; Rowland enlists an all-star Urban cast for the latest incarnation of the track; which features R&B crooner Trey Songz, Busta Rhymes, and Fabolous.
The likes of Da Brat, Jerimih, Mario and R. Kelly have served up unofficial takes on the track, which begs the question of whether the official mix is better? You be the judge after the jump…
Fire!

Go Kelly!
So freaking hot. #TEAMKELLY needs a visual for this remix.
Trey Songz? Really? DEAD!!!!
Worse than Rihanna!
Leave this song alone! Who else? Lil Kim? LOL
yes best remix i heard so far!!! made me love this song all over again
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
i love it
This remix is hot! Trey doesn’t even sound too bad.
Thas whas up
Damn Kells..
what a feeling…Alex Gaudino feat Kelly rowland debuted at no 6 on the UK charts..no 6!! wow. as for this remix i like busta’s verse on it but that,s about it.
DAMN!!! THIS IS REALY GOOD! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!
Yesssssssssssssss! By far my favorite remix with all the right people! Good Job Kelly!
Busta Rhymes did an amazing job!!!! where the hell has he been?
I absolutely love it !
And I have to admit, Trey Songz did excellent! I mean, when I just listen to him without watching him doing that thing with his mouth, his delivery IS very decent.
As a matter of fact, Kelly and Trey should do a duet, just the two of them.
Thumbs up!
this is hot..love it..trey did his thang..
I still can’t believe she has still not perform it live ??? It’s insane BET what are yall doing !!!
OMG FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved busta’s verse and trey sounded really good actually i loved this!!! though fabulous was wack.. they should have added mario on here instead
oh God, leave this song alone!
Trey needs to have several seats. He is no ones vocalist.
Haha. No one cares the r’n’b charts…
She is falling on HOT 100. That counts.
Don’t do double standard…
I am loving the fact she recorded new vocals rather than just adding them on the track and re-editing it.
in others news..good news for kelly rowland fans
speaking of kelly rowland (right now i command you to….DANCE!) she is ruling the rnb charts with her #1 smash – motivation (for a second week on top)…..and just when you think she has hung up her dance shoes … she hits you with her 12th..thats right 12th UK top 20 hit “what a feeling” debuting at number 6!!!! WORK!!!!!
also kelly rowland collaborated with pitbull for his upcoming album titled “planet pit” on a track called “castle made of sand” – heres a brief snippet –

i love the track and the fact that its a break from dance and it showing her versatility esp as a pop artist. kind of in the same vein as rose colored glasses/just whisper/unity/stole – very pop like vocals from Ms Kelly. Love IT!!!!
amazing!!!
Phire !! Luv it …..
KELLY SHOULD RELEASE THIS AS THE OFFICIAL SINGLE NOW!!!!!!!!
i love u kelly and this song is fantastic,ur so hot.
F****** hot. Omg Busta went in! he still one of the best to ever do it!
Where is the link? I don’t see it!!
Had to update my QuickTime… I LOVE that she re-recorded the vocals and props to Trey songz… he ACTUALLY sounded good here…. glad he channeled his old school… Hopefully this can push her up on the HOT 100… Busta GANGSTA as always Fabolous is HILARIOUS with his Friday reference LOL #TeamKELLY
Kelly cant go anywhere but up from here on out this remix is bananaz just like the original whoaLover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trey songz omg did that and… fab “girl I follow wat u saying u aint got to twitter s***” classic…. and busta=legendary
@Flopjuice I guess it is a double standard because compared to ur LIFE u are a NON MUTHA F*CKING FACTOR STAY MAD! WHILE KELLY CONTINUE TO S*** ON U! I love this remix. I actually love the Mario remix too. KELLY IS SLAYING LEFT AND RITE WITH NO PROMO BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA AH AH HA HA HA HA HA MS.KELLY IS ALSO GEARING UP FOR HER 3RD #1 N DA UK! *YEAH SHE SHITTING ON THEM*
NOW THATS A REMIX!!!! TREY DID HIS THANG, BUSTA WAS FIRE, FAB WAS COO TOO
Why did Trey have to be on here? He be trying to hard for me. Busta KILLED as usual! I don’t like him because his “Gay” comments, but he is very underrated. He can rap his ass off.
Luvsss it!!
busta cant do no wrong in my book but his rap is too fast for this song
however 3 features are too much for this song though – less of kelly, takes away from the sensuality, cluttetered
but if releasing this would help us get that top 10, go go go go
This is the best remix thus far!
Nice remix, Trey sounding like a fake ass R. Kelly but still nice though
Every day there is another remix to this song. Kelly’s original was enough.
Next Single Please.
Kelly & Rihanna are slaying this era
Nuff said!!!!!
OMG KELLY F****** ROWLAND is Slaying just like THIS!! #ThatsAll
By the way #1 is a #1 it doesn’t matter where it charts, mind you the song it is not even release to the mainstream. STAY MAD!!!!!!!
Ah #Motivation babes
JEREMIH killed it!!
Rihanna should be on the remix too!!!!
Damn another remix???? Well when a song is hot everybody wants to hop on it……
go, go, go………..
I would like to know when the f*** is she going to perform this song on television like ellen, the view, good morning america, 106 & park, wendy williams, etc. this song was not sent to mainstream, but peaked at 21. if she actually performed the song it could be a top ten hit for her on the billboard 100. what is going on with her and her team. is performing out of style these days?
Work KELLY ROWLAND@! DANG YAL SO MAD THIS GIRL IS WINNING! GET OVER IT ALREADY!!
@Flopjuice…from my understanding “Motivation” wasnt released to pop outlets, only R&B….so for her to even be as high as she is on the pop charts with none of the pop stations playing her record is a feat in itself…..stop throwing shade and putting out lies dude.
*YAWN*
……. I love the original song all of these remixes ARE BORING!!
*YAWN 3X*
………..and a BOOOOO for whatever the hell “Stray Thongz” was doing!!
@Kerry Johnson
Shut up. No she doesnt.

ou slayed me with your comment…hahhahahahaahhahahh
WHOOO. Trey made this remix. My fave after the Mario & R. Kelly ones.
Trey voice blended nice with Kels (voices made for a song together) them two should do a s*** duet together 🙂 that would be hot
The rnb charts matter too. I hate how Billboard only focuses on pop thats why music is such a mess cuz every artist wants to be pop now. Kelly is doing what she needs to do. The song will have to cross over to the pop stations and then move up on billboards. Unfortuantely thats how urban music has to do. No love. I doubt this remix will do it though, Lil wayne should be enough.
“MOTIVATION”
RADIO UPDATE:
Urban: #1
Urban Adult Contemporary: #39
Rhythmic: #9
POP: #77 – WITH N O POP ADDS! For a very slow, S***, URBAN single…this is VERY promising…I expect another week at #1 on US R&B and possibly a raise on the Hot 100…maybe it could peak past #21 if Pop keeps raising like this 😀
Loves it! Go kels
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!~
THIS REMIX IS SO HOT MY FACE IS ON FIYAH! GO GO GO KELLY!
THEY AINT READY…….BRING IT ANYWAY!!!!!
I like the remix. A LOT. I am ready for another single though. Maybe we’ll get the next single in July.
i think it is real good.but fabolous is an outdated mediocre mess! really dude you coping smokey from friday on a hot s*** song like this?? get yo wack big pretty lips floor cleaning name(fabuloso) mess outta this!
Remix Hot!!! This one’s a keeper. #MOTIVATION GO go go GO
TREY SONGZ KILLED THAT… THIS REMIX IS THE BEST ONE SO FAR!!! GO KELLY.. YOU ABOUT TO GET EVERYTHING YOU DESERVE!!! LOVE ME SOME MISS ROWLAND!!!
I love this song. Everyone was great!
Damn Kelly! another hit! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
U ROCK KELLY N TREY SONGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
