Will You Be Buying Kelly Rowland’s ‘Here I Am’?

Published: Thursday 14th Jul 2011 by David

The last few years have seen many changes in the world that is Kelly Rowland.

From departing with long time manager Mathew Knowles, to becoming a notable player in the ever growing Euro-Dance scene with ‘When Love Takes Over‘ and ‘Commander’.

There is no disputing that recent years have taken Ms. Rowland from being one of Destiny’s Child‘s many anchors to being one of the world’s most anticipated performers.

Now with her third solo effort on its way to the general public on July 26th, fans and critics alike are waiting with baited breath to see how the LP will perform.

With its lead single ‘Motivation‘ enjoying multiple weeks at #1 and her performance at the BET Awards 2011 the undisputed showing of the night, there is little doubt that the album will exceed the achievements of its predecessors ‘Ms.Kelly‘ and ‘Simply Deep‘.

Will the ‘Rowman Army’ do enough to take ‘Here I Am’ to the top of the charts or will the album fail to live up to the high expectations placed on it.

We want to know what you think.

  6. Hellen Keller’s carpet July 14, 2011

    I’m buying cuz I support destinys child but I got this album pullig a JLO. Number one single. Album a flop. I’m sorry. I hate to say it cuz I love Kelly but it is what it is.

    Amd sweet baby Jesus are they really calling themselves the rowman army? I don’t want no parts of that lol

  7. Dollar$ign$kills July 14, 2011

    Ima need to see some prices before I buy a cd with only 10 songs. Shouldnt it be an EP with only 10 songs?

  8. carl July 14, 2011

    No, nothing is convincing me that it’s worthy of buying tbqh.

  9. MusicismyLife July 14, 2011

    She needs to promote this s*** .I don’t want it to do bad but it will do HORRIBLE.She thinks because she has 1 hit song thats gunna equal decent sales? JLo had and still has a WORLDWIDE SMASH and the album aint even gold yet.Instead of acting “New money” it should be “new hits” an artist gets a hit and don’t know what to do with themselves but act a fool lmao

  10. black July 14, 2011

    It better go to #1…..thats all i know

  11. Seo1983@twitter July 14, 2011

    3 Copies on pre-order and will download it degitally.. Yes I will Definitely be buying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    Glad to see people with the same opinion as i do..

    As for the album I Only Like 4 songs so if the Deluxe version has songs that I like then I might get the Deluxe version…Time will tell…

  13. bey’knight July 14, 2011

    i couldn’t say, i live in Europe and we get a different version *prays to God we get on & on* but i hope i do buy it. i loved Ms Kelly.

    @DOLLAR$IGN$KILLS

    no EPs contain between 4 and 8 songs. 9 > tracks, considered LP

  14. Harvey July 14, 2011

    It’s like destiny child’s fullfiled album with only 10 tracks get over it!!!

  15. truciebedford July 14, 2011

    i’ve supported all girls equally despite recent annoyances lol but yeah I have all their albums as group and solo artists and will def go out and buy Kelly’s on the 26th.

  16. Greatness July 14, 2011

    Nope…

  17. JR July 14, 2011

    Why the f*** are people acting like most CDs don’t have 10-12 tracks these days. People are not dishing out albums with 15-16 songs and a bunch of interludes anymore….so please stop it.

    Nonetheless hell yes I will be buying three copies. One for work, One for the car and one for my Ipod. I’m all about Kelly, and was always a KELLY ROWLAND fan. Did not just hop on because of Motivation. She is on her way back to the US to start promotion for her new album. I just wish it would have started sooner, but its cool. #TeamKelly is in place & we are ready. We do not have time to waste and no time to address haters. LETTTTSSS GO GO GO

  18. SelenaFabulousGomezFan July 14, 2011

    Rose Colored Glasses, Commander, and Motivation were the only songs Ive heard off the album and I like them. But RCG didnt make the cut, so I’ll have to listen to more songs before I buy it

  19. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    Just listened to the preview of the album again…I still only like 4 songs…and I think Commander doesn’t fit..When you listen to the whole album it doesn’t sound like it belongs there

  20. SelenaFabulousGomezFan July 14, 2011

    It will probably debut at #1

  21. motivation547 July 14, 2011

    I will be buying the album I listen to the album preview songs everyday on my fone but I’m just p*** at the b**** for not promoting the f****** album like what the f***

  22. motivation547 July 14, 2011

    She needs to start doing more proformances

  23. bey’knight July 14, 2011

    is tgj tryna make rowman army happen? her fanbase already has a flagship title

    team yeah its team kelly row over here!!!

  26. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    see even her fans agree that the PROMO for her this ERA is not the business!

  27. Dollar$ign$kills July 14, 2011

    @bey’knight
    Oh. Well I’ll probably end up getting the deluxe version because it has two extra songs and two remixes.

  28. Chris July 14, 2011

    I will be the first one on July 26 at the store buying my Deluxe Edition she deserves it seriously!!!!!!!!

    TeamKelly Here I Am July 26 I CANT WAIT!!!!!

  29. Chris July 14, 2011

    I listen to the previews everyday and I love the entire album from 1 to 10!!!! And I heard the snippets for the deluxe and I love those tracks too!!!!

  30. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    #MOTIVATION BECAME #1 without promotions.

    SIMPLY DEEP SOLD MORE THAN 2 MILLION RECORDS WORLDWIDE WITHOUT ANY PROMOS……..AND WITH THIS ALBUM, SHE IS GONNA SELL TRIPLE OF THE 2 MILLION FROM THE FIRST ALBUM………KELLY SLAY ROWLAND

    #TEAMKELLY is gonna slay her to the top…….

  31. Bdaboss July 14, 2011

    If you actually look at the length of the tracks, two of them are almost 8 minutes long if not. So I’m thinking that this album will kind of flow like the Dreams first album our something similar to future s** love sounds. I could be wrong though, but I remember her saying a long time ago that she wanted to bring interludes and stuff back on her third album how people used to do it back in the day.

  32. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    @CHRIS ,

    I refuse to listen to the previews……….I only listened to them once and vowed not to listen to them again until the album drops……LOL

    “LAY IT ON ME” from the album version sounds “EPIC”……and it features Big Sean………Another #1 right there……

    And I prefer “Lay it on me” over “Motivation”

  33. mhud July 14, 2011

    haters eh…what ar guys doing on the post since you aint checking for here i am???well i just i saw 50cent on mtv congratulatin kelly rowland for her sucess,and he also said that he would be purchasin here i am this july 26th..im gonna be buying 3 copies of here i am,so will others fans of hers too..im very happy for queen kelly rowland

  34. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) July 14, 2011

    Undecided.Judging from the snippets, it doesn’t sound like an album to rave about.It’s just out to cement her position in the urban farefront, more like a mixture of cool songs rather than a cohesive selection of gems

  35. ChrisJ July 14, 2011

    this album gonna leak soon..everybody albums leakin..hopefully her so called fans are gonna buy it

  36. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    MHUDD

    @Yep, 50 cent said not only will he purchase the album, but he makes it very clear that Kelly Rowland is one of the baddest queens in the game especially in the international scene……….

  37. Betty-Oops, I hit you in the head with a glass bottle. July 14, 2011

    No one is going to buy that s***. lol she needs to just hang it up…flat screen.

  38. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    I heard she is Filming the visuals for Lay It On Me next week….If so Be the case then she will have a busy schedule….1 week PROMO Kelly?? I really wanted alot more! But its w.e!

  39. Chris July 14, 2011

    @KELLYMOTIVATION I LISTENED TO THEM ONCE AND I WAS ADDICTED FROM THERE. AND I AGREE WHEN SHE RELEASES LAY IT ON ME THAT SONG IS GOING TO BE SUCH A HIT!!!! I JUST SMELL ANOTHER NUMBER 1 WITH THAT SONG. KELLY IS REALLY DOING HER THING AND THIS ALBUM IS SHOWING SO MUCH GROWTH.

  40. Betty-Oops, I hit you in the head with a glass bottle. July 14, 2011

    Rowman Army? For real Smelly Toeland? Why can’t these b****** be original?

  41. Slutbucket July 14, 2011

    I can’t wait!!!! haters fall the f*** back!

  42. FabulousSelenaGomezFan July 14, 2011

    I will most likely contribute to second week sells

  43. Edwardponton July 14, 2011

    I’ll def be buying one for me and my girlfriend… Lol at people coming into the thread to say they won’t be buying.

  44. GLYNNJE July 14, 2011

  47. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    whats the name of the fan base? Kelly is saying “ROWLDAWGS” AND u guys say “ROWMAN ARMY” which one is it?? no offense or anything…

  48. JR July 14, 2011

  49. JR July 14, 2011

  50. mhud July 14, 2011

  51. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    @UR IN A FIELD OF BEES

    SIMPLY DEEP had little to zero promotions in USA and had very little promotions internationally ……..Most of the singles from that album were not even released in America

    Stole
    Can’t Nobody
    Train on a track

    A true sign of an underdog who still slays no matter if she ain’t in the USA……..

    #SitDown

  68. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY NO SAM stans for Destiny’s Child in General he has made that clear in the past!

  69. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY

    Quite frankly, I have never ever heard of “Rowman Army” LOL

  70. jamir21 July 14, 2011

    @ Kelly Motivation I bet you have !

  71. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    SEE LAY IT ON ME THE FINAL VERSION JUST LEAKED! SHE BETTER RELEASE IT NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THE RADIOS WILL BEGIN PLAYING IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS AND PPL WILL BE LOOKING FOR IT!!

  72. pop royalty July 14, 2011

SMH ! and what is #rowman army ?! i do not get that ! someone need to fill me in for real i am not joking , am i missing something ?!
    any way good luck to her 🙂 !

  73. Phil Don-V July 14, 2011

    Two things to boost this album

    One… WHERES THE PROMO?!

    Two… WHERES THE VIDEO FOR LAY IT ON MD ALREADY?!

    I do want this album though lol she needs to hit the grindstone if she wants to make it huge!!

  74. IDAOI July 14, 2011

    I hope the album does well. As mentioned before though she needs to do more promotion also. From the snippets I’ve heard the album sounds like the the first version of miss Kelly she was going to release but scrapped for the final version. I like her and I love the group as an whole. But none of the members no how to pick their first singles because motivation is still just okay to me…but I will support her

  75. pop royalty July 14, 2011

    @kelly motivation :

    u see typos and all in my comments ! that’s normal i think 😉
    and did “lay it down” leaked ?! i am missing big time i think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who the fck leak songs ?! i do not get it ?! first britney ” the whole thing” , gaga “judas , and then the whole album” , beyonce ” the worst leak . 3 weeks before the album ” and now kelly !!!!!!!!!! that’s not good !
    but #rowman army is kinda cool 😉 !

  76. Chris July 14, 2011

    HERE I AM DELUXE EDITION IS GOING TO BE LIKE HEAVEN IN MY EARS!!!! I REALLY LOVE THE CONFIDENCE KELLY HAS NOW SHE IS SUCH A S*** SIREN.

    @POP ROYALTY there is no “rowman army” her fan base is called the “rowldawgs” so u can tell the fake fans from the real fans calling it “rowman army” …when its just a false name sam posted!

  79. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    POPROYALTY

    Lol don’t get it twisted, the final version of “Lay it on me” HASN’T LEAKED………..Some little clowns are getting confused between the unfinished version and the final version…LMAO

  80. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    YES LAY IT ON ME (FINAL) LEAKED…IT WAS ON YOUTUBE BUT WAS JUST REMOVED BY UMG I SAW IT ON ATRL!

  81. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    @YEABEY :

    i am not gonna download it cuz it’s M** and I HATE M**’S AND I’M ALREADY BUYING THE WHOLE ALBUM SO I’M NOT GONNA DOWNLOAD IT !!!
    LAY IT ON ME , BABY LAY IT ON ME BABY LAY IT ON ME ! IT’S SO FRESH !! I’M IN LOVE WITH IT ! # i told u i’m gonna pump like this ! lolz !
    it’s kinda remind me of “nicole’s right there , derulo’s ridin’ solo mixed together ” !!!!! it’s so cool Yall !!!

  83. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    @POP ROYALTY yes it is the FINAL version…It sounds like Right There By Nicole because ESTER DEAN wrote both songs….I prefer Lay It on me though!!

  84. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    LMAO…THAT IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION…..#TRUST

    BUT IT SLAYS THOUGH…The instrumental of the final version has more bass and has a more bouncy club sound to it……

  85. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    The only thing final about this version is Big Sean’s vocals……..the instrumental of the final version has more bass…..

  86. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    Are you sure?…Cause they said its FINAL from Kelly’s album that will “leak” this weekend! …well idk…i’m still waiting for it to get released..

  87. Kellymotivation July 14, 2011

    Yes I am very certain about that but I LOVE Nicole’s “Right there”………That song is hot

  88. The Man July 14, 2011

    Lol at that name Sam is trying to make up. Her fans are already called the “Rowldawgs”. But i’m glad tosee that alot of people will be supporting this.

  89. pop royalty July 14, 2011

  90. GangsterA July 14, 2011

  91. Joan July 14, 2011

    Good Evening:
    I can’t wait to get her album. I will be getting her album. I hope that everyone else will go and get kelly album. if you don’t like someone just don’t come on here. Come on now and suuport Kelly you know that you want too. what is wrong with her new album. I think is good this time. Kelly might have something up her sleep. give her a change this time. please go buy her album July 26, 2011. you know that you want too. stop dislike liking her so much. and don’t compare her to beyonce neither.

  92. vicious vixen July 14, 2011

    Hold up! Did this b**** just call somebody a clown?!? Lmfao! That’s rich… Pot. Meet Kettle. Ha!

  93. musik_lover July 14, 2011

    She needs to go on So You Think You Can Dance!!! perform Motivation or Lay It On Me….Lord knows I’ve been praying for Kelly this go round because I’ve always wanted to see her do well because she has so much potential to be a standout artist! It’s like she takes you there then drops the ball right at the climax. Her Image, Music, Promotion, & Label all need to be on point in order for this album to be the success I already know it can be just like her other albums. Praying for Kelly Ro #TeamKelly Go GO GO Go “Here I Am” July 26.

  94. Joan July 14, 2011

    Why does Kelly need to promotion this album everyone know it is good already. when July 26, 2011 come. go and get it. you don’t have too alway promotion something. you seen her do her thing at the Bet award. you know that she can sing. what more do you want from Kelly Rowland that you are not getting. the ones that don’t like her . I want to know can you sing yourself. She dont’ have to go were to performance nothing. she already did. why do you need to see her perform anything at all. just go and buy the CD. damn

  95. YeaBey July 14, 2011

    @JOAN but how will she get new fans and supporters if she doesn’t perform? ….how will everyone know that she has an album coming out if she doesn’t promote?…Alot of people don’t know its coming out so promo and performing would be a PLUS for her!

  96. Teyah July 15, 2011

    @JOAN

    uhh if u want to stop the album from flopping then she needs to promote it. How old are u? u must be stupid

  97. Kellymotivation July 15, 2011

    LMAO Her fans are very much aware that her album is getting…….

    So funny how a narcissistic Bey stan is so concerned about Kelly’s promotions LMAOOOOO !!!!!

  108. Jasmine July 15, 2011

    It’s about time Kelly Rowland gets her props. And she’s so gorgeous in person. And I say all this without hating on Beyonce or attacking her. I’ll be getting her album. I’m also hyped that Syleena Johnson is coming out with a new release….Chapter V: Underrated. Her song A Boss bangs AND she’s blowing. She announced a remix contest on her Syleena Johnson official fan page.

  109. Anne July 15, 2011

    To answer the question about whether or not it will go to the top of the charts, I agree with those who said it has a good chance at a #1 debut. Joss Stone comes out that week but her last album had first weeks sales of only 27,000 copies. So she may not be much competition for Kelly. As to whether Kelly will live up to expectations sales wise I couldn’t say because first of all I don’t know how much it is expected to sell and secondly it seems pretty difficult to predict just how many copies will be sold in the first week. If someone forced me to guess I’d go with around 100,000 copies. But like I said it seems unpredictable, it could be much higher or much lower, we’ll have to wait and see. It will be interesting to see just how much a very popular, long-standing #1 hit on the R&B Billboard charts will translate into album sales, plus I think her her fanbase might put her in a stronger position than someone like Kerry Hilson or Ciara.

  110. Lola July 15, 2011

    HELL YEAH I’m Buying This Album!!!!!! I’ve Beeeeen Waiting For It And It’s Almost Hereeee!!! I’ll Get The Stardard And The Deluxe… I Really Don’t Care. Imma Support Ms. Rowland. I Really Hope This Album Does Well. I Think A Lot Of Celebs Will Be Buy Here I Am On The 26th!! Motivation Is My Jam And I Can’t Wait To Blasssst It And Replay It Over & Over & Over Again.. lol

  111. Independent Thinker July 15, 2011

    Heck yes I will.
    Two deluxe copies(one for me and one for my sis). I may buy a standard just to see if there are any special surprises wrapped up in it(ie: hidden tracks,special media,etc.). If not, I can always give it away to someone who has yet to catch the Kelly train. I’m a supporter. I’m gearing up for the release of Here I Am by revisiting her previous albums Simply Deep(which I love), Ms. Kelly and Ms. Kelly the Deluxe Edition(which is an eclectic fusion of pop r&b and dance remixes, yet the album is a sonic masterpiece. EVERY SONG fits).

    I’m sure Here I Am will come together sonically as well. Yes Kelly is jumping genres on this album,but she’s always done that. Even Ms. Kelly had a random, acoustic gem in the form of “This Is Love” (which sounded like something that was left over from her Simply Deep era)

    From the sound of things. The album opens up with a banger(“I’m Dat Chick”), followed by a swag heavy mid-tempo(“Work It Man”), then we have the sultry smooth groove(“Motivation”), next comes the fun and flirty, piano driven up-tempo “Lay It On Me”, after that we have what may be one of the hottest songs on the album, the clever, feel good anthem “Feeling Me Right Now”. Now it’s time to slow things down a bit, but keep your head nodding with the velvety slow jam “All of The Night”, then there’s the apparant balad that may serve as the most fluid and beautiful song on the album(“Keep It Between Us”). Now Kelly wakes us back up with her personal declaration, reminding us once and for all that she is the “Commander” but she doesn’t stop there; she closes the album with another dance smash(“Down For Whatever”). Unless, ofcourse you have the deluxe version, in which case you get a power ballad in the Neyo penned “Heaven and Earth”, then you get the spacey, groove enducing “Each Other”(I LOVE THAT SONG!!). Now the album concludes with two remixes. A crazy, up-tempo version of “Motivation” and a slowed, finger snapping, hip winding urban mix of “Commander”. An album full of 14 gems.
    Another interesting tidbit(this may be an error), according to Amazon, “Work It Man” is an eight minute long song and “Commander is over seven minutes long, again, this may just be an error but those are the time spans that are given, and if it’s true, this means well over an hour of music(even on the standard version).
    I for one, can’t wait. ROLL ON JULY 26!!!

  112. luv music July 15, 2011

    i will be buying the album..

  113. KD July 15, 2011

    I will buy it…eventually. Joss Stone’s LP1 is an album that I have been waited for, and it just so happens to be coming out on the same day. Sorry Kell’s 🙁

  114. RIHLICIOUS HAS TAKEN OVER July 15, 2011

    Kelly Rowland #1????? That ain’t never gonna happen. Black people do not buy s***, and unfortunately the only people checking out for her happen to be black.

    Here are the facts;
    1. It takes more than a moderately successful single to reach #1, JLo’s single shits all over Kelly’s in terms of success and her album didn’t even sell close to 100 000 1st week.

    2. There is no way in hell that Kelly will be #1 while Adele, Lady GaGa and to a lesser extent Beyonce have albums out.

    3. She will flop…The END

  115. Fried Chicken July 15, 2011

    she will flop and i like her cd, sorry but she is relying on bet for everything and thats a big mistake!

  116. BeyStan – That’s Me July 15, 2011

    I love Kelly, but I won’t buy her s***, it sounds exactly like her Ms Kelly album where is the evolution in this ? it’s her 3rd LP and to me she hasn’t grown as an artist, however I got Motivation on iTunes but that’ll be it.

  117. GLYNNJE July 15, 2011

    RAWLDAWGS???? ROWMANS????? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Wow…those names are an epic fail, just like HIA we all know that the album will be DOA, just because this song outsold Beyonce’s crap RTW do not assume that this basic broad will sell, let alone debut @ #1. LOL…Her best selling album numbers happen to be less than Rihanna’s lowest selling album #’s and this broad came from Destiny’s Child… FAIL :-).

    RAWLDAWGS LMWAO *wipes tears* you guys are too funny.

    #rihannanavy

  121. RIHLICIOUS HAS TAKEN OVER July 15, 2011

    *RAWLDAWGS = ROWLDAWGS

    @GLYNNJE b**** typing all that s*** up a hundred times won’t help, we all know when her album is dropping, we just don’t give a dawgs ass. It’s only her sad dogs…excuse me i meant dawgs are waiting for this album. LOL

    #FAIL

    How Kelly Rowland has stans is beyond me. SMH

  122. aisha aguilera keys July 15, 2011

    I’m unsure, I need to hear it first. That’s what Deezer’s for.

  123. Thedimplepuppet July 15, 2011

    @Independent Thinker — You wrote the hell out of that article my friend. ‘Each Other’ has always been a favorite track of mine as well. Thanks again for the break down of each song.

  124. Leo July 15, 2011

    I pre-ordered it, can’t wait!

  125. diva July 15, 2011

    yes yes and damn yes i am buying this album……definitely going to be her best album for now …

  126. Toya July 15, 2011

    I sure AM!

  127. nice_gurl July 15, 2011

    From the snippets it’s hard to tell. I think there’s 5 songs on there that I like, Motivation still being my fave song, though I need to hear all of the full songs to make a judgement. If I only like 4 or 5 songs, then probably not. I hope this album gets some success because she’s looking happy at the moment.

  128. LOS July 15, 2011

    LOL THIS POST SIMPLY ASKED ARE YOU GOING TO BUY THE ALBUM OR NOT AND THE HATERS ARE ONCE AGAIN TALKING ABOUT PROMOTION LMAO JUST COMMENT AND SAY NO I AM NOT OR YES I AM GOING TO BUY THE ALBUM. THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO BUY IT THAN SAYING NO SO YOU FEW PEOPLE DONT MATTER ANYWAY SO EITHER YOU LIKE HER MUSIC AND YOU BUY THE ALBUM OR YOU DONT. I HONESTLY THINK ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT LIKE THIS CD ARE JUST BIAS BECAUSE THEY STAN FOR ANOTHER ARTIST AND THAT IS SAD BECAUSE WE ALL SHOULD JUST ENJOY MUSIC. IT IS NOT A FREAKING COMPETITION YOU STUPID CHILDREN ON THIS SITE.

  129. kriztyle July 15, 2011

    @ LOS so F****** true is whay kills me as before u even openest the blog it say Kelly rowlandball over it so if you ain’t checking for her then humm why u own the blog then bother to leave a commit …lol yea u checking and for those that said she can’t take # 1 must not know how thecharts work Beyonce sell have already decreased no even expected to do 75000 this week ..she will be dropped from the #1 spot. Adelaide who already has wow her album sell major decrease…I’m pretty. Sure she can beat 75000 more. Drooping her in @ least the #2 spot if she beats her competitor that week BLING #1 its about timing
