The 30 year old is currently strutting along the promotional trail for her 3rd studio album ‘Here I Am’, which hit US stores this week.

  3. lala July 28, 2011

    this pic was taken during the motivation video shoot apparently

  4. YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS! July 28, 2011

    @EDWARDPONTON
    That’s because I LIKE KELLY…and I wanted her to do well…My rant yesterday was not towards her or her REAL fans….it was towards the Bandwagon stans who were only here for her success of MOTIVATION and were running around dissing everybody’s album sales…KELLY DESERVES BETTER STANS!!

    @LALA
    I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME EXACT THING….either that or right after the video shoot

  5. KD July 28, 2011

    I am not a fan of the “homeless-s***” thing Kelly is trying to sell on this cover…but in good news Kelly is set to debut @ #2 on the BB charts nxt week – which means #1 on the R&B album chart.

  6. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    @KD

    Yes with a lackluster sale. Sad your rushing for a number #1 rnb debut puke. If u aint #1 on HOT200 nobody cares about #1 on rnb with less than 75,000.
    Why she keep posing for random magazines that we don’t see in our daily stores.

  7. JuicyBS.com July 28, 2011

    75k MY ASS! At least 150k. I’m so through with people short cutting her. #SheDatChick-

    Nicki Minaj and Safaree at it again? Drake and Big Sean beef?

  8. HERE I….FLOPPED July 28, 2011

    SHE LOOKS PRETTY! WAY BETTER THAN THAT VIBE COVER

  9. Thedimplepuppet July 28, 2011

    Monarch — Vibe — Fearless so far 3 covers you better get them cover Kelendria Trene Rowland who cares if they’re not Vogue, she’s building her brand so its going to take some time this is the beginning of this era not the end. Yes the picture was taken from ‘Motivation’ but she’s still looking mad ass s***!

  10. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    @Yeabey yeah Im sorry for how some of other Kelly fans act. Some of “US” were being very cocky and I addressed that too. But I still have faith in this era because even if her album doesnt do the numbers all of us wants. She still have very strong singles to release.

    Yeah this pic does look like it came from the motivation set lol. Nice though!

  11. aisha aguilera keys July 28, 2011

    Fierce!

  12. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    How do I upload a pic of me on here… I want people to see my face

  13. KAT DELUNA FAN July 28, 2011

    @EDWARDPONTON
    Yeah U better wish we are posting cause we RUN THIS MOTHA.Just the 3 of US

    No “Us” = No “Hit Post ” comprendo

    I do Love kelly.I am critical with Kat,why should I make a difference for Kelly?
    She looks good

  14. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    We care for vogue. Apparently the brand she’s building is BET Awards, 106 n park. Urban mess that don’t buy albums. During Ms. Kelly era she had 6 magazine covers and after that little era everybody forgot about her flop ass.
    It will happen again this era, and she will move to Europe where she can’t even sell her albums either.
    Anybody that has an album there is always some kind of buzz around them. After a month of release aint nobody gonna be talking about kelly. She’s forgottten issue.
    People act like kelly just started yesterday. She’s been in the game for 15yrs. She is a failed artist and u will deal.
    Up and coming young artist are on their way to snatch her wig. May be she want to compete with Jaden smith, willow smith. It’s a wrap for her.

  15. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    I really dont think you like kelly.. I only here negativity come from you. But Im sure this is how you have your fun for the day…

  16. Rx Chic July 28, 2011

    Love this cover!!! So hott! People focus so much on sales but it really doesn’t matter right now at this point with her bcuz she never had a huge fanbase here she’s still building one!!! You do not have to sell alot of records to be a super star!!! She’s slowly becoming one….

  17. YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS! July 28, 2011

    @EDWARDPONTON
    If you have a gravatar account (which i assume you do because you are commenting here) just sign in and change your picture…I know the album will do Ok and yes she has alot of single to work with..

    I already know what you look like…when i typed in rowldawgs in the twitter search to see what everyone thought about the sales, I saw you and Musictologist and some other people from here in the search results

  18. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    When we say her album has many singles, i laugh. How sure are most that all her “SUPPOSED SINGLES” she has on the album would be hits. She was lucky with motivation because of lilwayne and she could barely crack Top10 on HOT100. She might never see that success again and you heaux will deal.
    Now watch Beyonce on the view so u can tell your fave how to sing.

  19. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    @Yeabey I didnt even know you can do that lol.. Thanks though!

  20. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    Shut up you guys know damn well you wished she had above 100k and above . She flopped and all of a sudden album sales don’t count. STFU they do. Her label will drop her if those sales aint coming hell they still have lilwayne, drake, other non flop artist to deal with. Kelly is not their child.

  21. Thedimplepuppet July 28, 2011

    @ Flop that whole article was filled with hate & I can only imagine what your life is like outside N the real world. I will pray for your soul lol. Anyways all of Kelly Rowland’s fans aren’t cocky were just confident & believes N Kelly this era. I’m not apologizing for standing behind her. PS I have been a DC fan since No No No No.

  22. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    @Kelly is a flop artist Beyonce is my fav! But I dont see the need to hate on Kelly? Thats why I distance myself from Bey fans… We know beyonce is legendary! Let people appreciate that… And Kelly WILL experience greater success, something you probably have no clue of =D

  23. YUPPITSME July 28, 2011

    okay stop with the kelly overload damn

    I see…and I like LOL 🙂

  25. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    If Bey pulled a disappointing 75k you guys would have a field day.Kelly should phuck off with God blessing her and she prayed for this and that.
    God never blesses no one to be naked on the front of a magazine cover. She should not mistake mere motivation luck over blessing. God doesn’t bless you to sing about s**. She has no right to bring God, she needs to say it’s luck and not God’s blessing.

  26. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    I’ve always said Numbers dont matter to me! That wont stop me from supporting any artist I feel is talented. I just would have liked to see nice numbers FOR the haters and naysayers like you to atleast tone down a bit. But a hater is a hater.

  27. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    How is kelly talented though?
    Someone that has to lip sync to her own track.
    Not like she’s an Adele or Amy Winehouse.
    Kelly can’t write her own songs so what’s the talent. No shade sorry i’m just asking?
    Kelly’s voice is mediocre. She had to go on the Auto tune for her messy album.
    Just bcos she was part of DC don’t mean she is mad talented.
    Kelly is just as basic as keri hilson. I will say she has better vocals than rihanna but outside thatgrapejuice nobody gives a rat ass about kelly.

  28. YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS! July 28, 2011

    @KELLY IS A FLOP ARTIST
    Its ok to dislike Kelly in a musical perspective but I am starting to think you hate her personally….is that so? Because there is no way in hell someone would dedicate their username and life to hating Kelly so much….I thought you hater her FLOP BANDWAGON STANS…i never knew you hated her….

  29. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    Kelly’s buzz just came around bcos motivation was more succesful than Run the world. So many people were happy to see Beyonce fail, not actually happy to see kelly win. People got it wrong. If they really wanted for kelly to win the people that bought motivation should have bought Here i am too.
    Kelly herself got a lil cocky now she has flopped she is acting like she doesn’t care for number but she told billboard how hurt she was when she did Ms. Kelly and it sold 86,000. Here i am is flopping worse than Ms.Kelly she can’t ell me it aint hurting her soul. She might think her label would back her 100%. If kelly aint bring that money to them, they are dropping her ass.

  30. yonkel July 28, 2011

    she so grown nowww !!! i love her!! good emanticipation

  31. YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS! July 28, 2011

    Adele has surpassed Kelly in the iTunes department…..GET TO WORK “ROWLDAWGS”

  32. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    @YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS

    God knows my heart. This is just for her fans. I don’t hate kelly personally, hell i don’t buy her material or whatever. I stan for Beyonce and i sure damn take it personal how they were talking ill about Beyonce when run the world wasn’t so succesful. Sorry it’s hard for me to let go and let God. I will continue to let them know kelly flopped and have a field day till they have their humble slice of pie.
    I tell u most of them here on TGJ that are trying to be for Bey and Kelly go to Mediatakeout, Sandra Rose and Necole Bitchie to diss Bey so bad, because they know majority of the people that comment there are beyonce haters and they come on TGJ to act like why can’t we all get along. you know i call them the double edged sword fans
    So i do not care. Kelly flopped.

  33. EdwardPonton July 28, 2011

    @Kelly is a flop artist your pure comedy

  34. Sup July 28, 2011

    what’s really up with this “Kelly is a flop artist” he is clearly talking to himself..lol

  35. kriztyle July 28, 2011

    For the dummy that said she ain’t selling 75000 was the company’s prediction they actually now looking @ more because its in demand at store that are sold out they said beyonce was only gonna do 200k she did 110k more the albums been out 2 days kill the loud talk cause clearly or gonna sell with or with out u…oh and by the way she is a r&b artist da

  36. kelly is a flop artist July 28, 2011

    Double edged sword fans are fans that truly hate a certain celebrity but act like they love the celebrity and go to different sites where people really hate that particular celeb and they help in the dissing of the celeb, but when they come to a place that the celeb they hate has other people to fight for them they start to act like they are here for that celeb.

    I was just wondering everybody that had everything to say when motivation was doing better than RTW.
    The people that were dissing Bey were kelly’s real fans and they bought the album but as you can see only about 300 post when there is a kelly story so the 300 people probably bought the album. Back then in 2002 when simply deep was released bey’s fans never attacked kelly’s career, but kelly’s fans started it and they can’t take what they dished out.

  37. Keisha July 28, 2011

    ok kelly flop artist we get it she failed.

    but @kriztyle as much as you want kelly to sell more but i just heard on philly radio now that she is actually stated to sell 65,000-70k.

    But she looks cute though

  38. winning July 28, 2011

    More like FEARFUL … nothing special..rather boring… a footnote without Destinys child

  39. RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX) July 28, 2011

    how were the kelly stans being cocky? so they cant brag about kelly being number 1?

    I dont why the beyonce stans are acting brand new..yall are always on other people post calling them flops, and yall always talking about how beyonce is king, blah blah blah..

    so the kelly stans are bragging about her singles doing better than beyonce, thats means they are being cocky?

    so now numbers does matter? Ive could have sworn u guys were claiming being number 1 doesnt mean s***, as long as u are releasing a good album..but of course that only applies to beyonce

  40. kelly’s here! July 28, 2011

    Ppl pls just let Kelly have her shine n stop bringing beyonce into her post all three ladies of destiny’s child are great artist just be thankful for the fact that all three of them are still around n Da business compared to other female girl groups destiny’s child are the only group that can say atleast all members has had a new one album n number one singles no mater if its gospel r&b or pop they have all been successful at some point!

  41. YeaBey HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS! July 28, 2011

    @RATEDXXX
    BEYONCE IS KING AND YOU WILL DEAL!!!

    NOT ALL OF KELLY’S FANS ARE COCKY ….JUST THE NEW ONES WHO WERE ONLY HERE FOR MOTIVATION’S SUCCESS…WE DON’T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST BRAGGING WITH THE NO.1….. BUT A NO.1 ON THE R&B CHARTS GIVES NO ONE THE RIGHT TO RUN AROUND DISSING 4’S SALES, KERI’S SALES, LOUD’S SALES, AND BORN THIS WAY SALES…YOU OBVIOUSLY WERE NOT HERE WHEN THEY WERE DOING THAT SO YOU KNOW NOTHING….EVERY DAY YOU COME ON HERE THE WORDS “BEYONCE STANS” COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH….YES WE KNOW YOU LOVE US….LIVE WITH IT!!

  50. Kelly is not big overseas. July 28, 2011

    @rated XXXX

    Quit that mess. I am not one of those black people that don’t have a passport to travel . I have been to europe and kelly is not huge. That is a make believe they tell you guys in America. She is just huge as an Ex destinys child member but as just kelly rowland she is not huge. Kelly’s last album did better here in the states than in did in Europe. Her motivation songs was rejected by the European market.
    Let me tell u something about the European Market anybody can be big,It’s not just kelly that is well known they have acts like Tinie Tempah, ED SHEERAN(whom you probably don’teven know), Jason Derulo, calvin Harris even Beyonce. So kelly scoring a top 10 hit in the UK is not a huge deal. It’s easy for anyone to do it.
    Her Ex-factor gig came on her as a thing of luck not like Europeans were begging for kelly. No they weren’t. They would rather have Beyonce, but since kelly doesn’t have a career she has all the free time on her hands that’s why she was chosen.

  51. Kelly is not big overseas. July 28, 2011

    I am no rihanna fan but if there is a poll out in the world not just Europe. Would you rather have Rihanna replace kelly on X factor. Rihanna would win with a landslide. Don’t be deceived by the kelly is huge BS they feeding u guys in the states.

  52. lola July 28, 2011

    kelly is a flop artist
    Will you get you miserable a*s off this damn blog? WTF is your f*cking problem? You are extremely irritating and you are embarrassing yourself. How could someone come on a damn blog and post so much hate towards someone he/she doesn’t even know? If you don’t like Kelly so much, why the f*ck are you devoting so much time into hating her?! But it’s funny because you just admitted you got mad when people were talking negatively about Beyonce. Beyonce is not GOD and she’s not that damn talented. All she does is shake her stank a** and yell! Stop being a hypocrite and a loser. You really need to see a therapist because it’s retarded that like 50% of the comments on a Kelly post come from you. And Kelly didn’t lip-sync the whole f*cking BET performance! She sung the last part and so what if she did? Beyonce has lip-synced before!
    This blog has some damn immature people. Why are y’all so determined to call out the “fake” Kelly Rowland stans? You guys sound so stupid!!!! There’s only 50-100 people who comment on Kelly’s posts and praise her….so how the hell does 50-100 people reflect her album sales for 75,000? Are you guys that idiotic? The people who stanned for her and said she would do better than Bey, weren’t even hundreds of people, so again, why are y’all continuously saying these stans didn’t buy the album when it was of little of them? Y’all need to stop bringing so much negativity to Kelly. To say it’s not Kelly, it’s the stans, is stupid! Just talk about Kelly f*cking Rowland!
    Anyway, this cover is cute and hopefully she’ll sell more than 75,000. Even if she doesn’t, Bruno Mars sold like 35,000 and Lady Gaga sold less than that her first week. As long as Kelly is consistent with the singles and promotion, her sales will increase. Simply Deep sold 77,000 in its first week and it ended up selling over 600,000 copies in the US and 1,400,000 million overseas! So you who are making funny sound so damn stupid. Hate to admit it, but Rihanna’s first week of sales for GGGB were so low but she sold over 9 million copies of that album!

  53. Can lola shut up July 28, 2011

    @ Lola

    Who d flip would read that novel you wrote. Honestly boo no one would read that. Cut it short and make ur point

  54. fuq July 28, 2011

    she looks like a s***.

  55. twista July 28, 2011

    @Lola
    Bruno Mars sold 55,000 copies and that’s very acceptable for a 1st time record. Kelly has had destinys child success and 3 solo albums and is still failing.

    Difference between kelly and Bruno is that Bruno actually has better songs than here i am.
    Nobody want to listen to I’m not cocky, i just love myself. Mediocre lyrics.

    And let’s be honest here. Kelly is black and for her to have a Bruno success is really slim.
    Sorry for pulling out the race card.

  56. Danja July 28, 2011

    @FUQ

    I know . I knew i was thinking towards that direction. She looks like a hooker that just left a brothel

  57. NikkiIsChillin July 28, 2011

    Kelly looks so pretty on the cover. Whatever the outcome, I’m proud of her. Go Kelly! Keep ya head up girl!!

  58. Storm July 28, 2011

    @LOLA

    600,000 copies in the US in 2003 is flop flop flop. People were buying albums then and the market was not saturated with illegal downloading, youtube, music sharing and all and she scored that low.
    Dude you should be ashamed to post that on here. Now the market has gotten really bad i doubt kelly would pull so much numbers. If she is not pulling good numbers her label would not want to spend more money on promo and her album would tank again like the previous ones.

  59. X,Y,”and Z” July 28, 2011

    @Sam —

    I swear, you just won’t quit, will you? Talk about beating dead horse/nappy lacefront.. So Sam, how much more stories/posts are you going to do on “30-something-year-old, cant-move-units Kelly Rowland”? Sam, you’ve BEEN LONG-PAST your “daily Kelly Rowland Quota,” did you know that?

    @KELLY IS NOT BIG OVERSEAS. re:July 28, 2011 at 11:43 am —

    Funny thing, I was JUST on HDD and RIAA looking up her past chart/sales history. Kelly Rowland’s BEST YEARS are now almost a decade behind her. 2002 was her biggest sales year (when DC, and those “so affiliated”, were “so blessed” by that “DC magic”)! That first solo effort was 73K first week, and 600K Total U.S. OTC sales. According to RIAA, she’s NEVER had a ‘Platinum Certified’ song nor CD!

    I really don’t think she can still depend on that “DC affiliation” to NOW move units, nor sell concert/tour tickets!

    X,Y,”and Z”

  60. change July 28, 2011

    @X,Y,”and Z”

    I know right. Too many Kelly stories. Bey was on the view and they didnt report it oh well. Bey didn’t flop and kelly did so it doesn’t matter.

    How much has motivation sold so far? Can u check RIAA for me thanks.

  61. X,Y,”and Z” July 28, 2011

    @Change —

    “Motivation” is her ONLY single that has been RIAA “Gold Certified”; “Simply Deep” was also ONLY “Gold Certified” in Dec 2002! As I’ve said, she’s NEVER had a “Platinum Certified” U.S. CD, nor single! All her projects, after that 2002 debut CD, have since returned less and less. If “trends hold” “Here I am” will fail here, in the U.S. where she’s past failed, AND also too “Worldwide”!

    I don’t know, it seems that the further we get away from DC (the more time passes), the more HER “stardom” fades!

    I just can’t see Simon Cowell having her staying on, as a Judge, on that X-Factor gig much longer. Simon Cowell didn’t get where HE NOW IS by “playing fool..!!”

    thanks @X,Y,”and Z”

    I didn’t even know her flopping was this miserable. So she has never had an RIAA platinum certification. OHMYDAYS. Kelly needs to retire now.
    Simon might not keep her for too long.

  65. Droi July 28, 2011

    I’m just wondering where do they even sell this type of magazine. Is it some internet magazine or some independent facebok owner. WTF is kelly doing on this cover. No shade but it should be people like Eva Pigford, ANTM’s winners that should be appearing on the cover not kelly. Kelly is too big of a star to appear on all these low budget nobody purchases magazine.
    Even Vibe nobody buys vibe.

  66. Droi July 28, 2011

    Ok i can’t take this magazine seriously . I just googled it and it’s nothing mainstream. Some brandy and Ray j talking magazine, they talk about real housewives of atlanta and bunch of nobodies.

  67. FAKE NAMES July 28, 2011

    Everyone pay no mind to iloverihanna>beyonceislame

    That’s obviously a kelly fan that decided to have that name so we could start war between Beyonce and RIhanna.

    Try a different strategy.

    Kelly is still a flop artist after 15years

  68. muni July 28, 2011

    Here she is again so f****** beautiful haters are still pressed You wish you be just like her

    she is Dat Chick!!!

    Go f*** yourself

    @RX CHIC – I agree with you. Kelly has been in the game for 15 years. She has tried in the past to build a fan base here with two previous albums, which I thought were very good. But, people weren’t checking for her. That’s when she decided to go over to Europe. And, she blew up over there! So, she already has a solid fan base there. Now, she’s trying to give the U.S. another chance in terms of building an audience. As you’ve said, she never really had a “strong” fan base here to begin with, so I don’t know why people are expecting her to “move mountains”. It’s going to take time. But, I think she’s doing pretty well. As a matter of fact, she seems to be getting more coverage now than she ever did when she was managed by Matthew Knowles. Kelly’s doing her thing and she’s going to be just fine.

    I’VE COME 2 REALIZE THAT KELLY’S STANS R JUST AS BAD AS BEY’S STANS. SOME OF U ARE HURLING THE SAME INSULTS TOWARDS BEY’S STANS THAT THEY’VE DONE 2 U. IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY COMING AT YOU IN A SLICK WAY, WHY NOT JUST IGNORE IT AND KEEP IT MOVIN’. OR AS KELLY SAID SO HERSELF, “KILL ‘EM WITH KINDNESS”. NO NEED 2 GO BACK AND FORTH. I LUV KELLY, BUT I’M NOT GOING 2 ARGUE WITH ANYONE OVER HER. I STATE MY PIECE AND KEEP IT MOVIN’. SOMEONE HAS 2 BE THE BIGGER PERSON AND WALK AWAY FROM NEGATIVE COMMENTS. KELLY’S FOLKS HAVE NO BUSINESS COMING DOWN ON BEY’S FOLKS, B’CUZ Y’ALL R JUST AS BAD AS THEY R.

    Bottom line is too many people got cocky thinking Kelly would sell off of Motivation and Bet awards performance. When her cd was leaked, people were not feeling the material. Aside from stans or die hard fans, most critics and people were bashing the cd on blogs. It was an immediate backlash. AND her team messed up promos. Smart move would have been to get her on X factor here ala JLo. Promo the cd, had her perform live. Different outcome. Not being negative, just some things that should have been done different. Comparing her and Bey or cutting Bey or other artists don’t change these facts. I have always been a fan of Kelly along with Bey. But from reading blogs, I saw it coming. It was too much overhype. They should have played it out like Letoya on her first cd. They promo’d her on myspace but didn’t overhype her. They let the music sell for itself. So when she did hit #1, it was something to brag about.

    I KNEW KELLY’S FIRST WEEK SALES WOULDNT BE TOO GREAT. SHE HAS HAD NO PROMO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BET AWARDS. WHO’S ACTUALLY SURPRISED??

    @YEABEY HATES KELLY’S FLOP STANS!

    I see what you mean.. i was bored and looked at old posts where I see all these people with kelly emoticons talking s*** to everyone
    I am a real kelly fan and actually brought her album. I love Beyonce, and would NEVER EVER say Kelly is more talented, beyonce will flop, or anything like those FLOP fake ass stans said.

    SMDH.. I think they are CLEARLY people who just wanted to see Beyonce fail.

    I love me some Kelly and of course B. They are who I stan for. I just hope these other “rowldogs” do their part smh.

    Kelly looks beautiful. Sidenote: There is seriously something wrong with people who sit around hoping, wishing, and praying for the downfall of others. I don’t care if it’s Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Keri Hilson, Lady Gaga, whoever. If you don’t like an artist that’s fine, but to put so much energy into hating someone you don’t know or speaking ill against someone who could care less about you is just sad. You can’t be happy with yourself and your situation because happy people don’t invest that much time into releasing so much negative energy into the universe.
