Kelly Rowland fans rejoice! For, after her lengthy scarcity on TV, the ‘Motivation’ singer is gearing up for a major promotional spot next month.
Full story below…
According to the 30 year old’s label, Universal Republic, Rowland will be electrifying the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage on September 26th as part of the show’s long-running Concert Series.
Of the many cuts the Destiny’s Child alumni will perform, expect to see her rock out new single ‘Lay It On Me’ – the video for which is finally being shot in Los Angeles this weekend.
——————————
Granted ‘Lay It On Me’ is gradually picking up on radio, everything from the Kimmel gig to the video shoot couldn’t come sooner. For no matter which way it’s spun, the video for ‘Motivation’ came out a whopping 5 months ago. 5 months! A period which which has seen only two televised performances and no other videos.
Still, it says something when a song can still go Platinum under those circumstances (with it’s follow-up looking promising too). As such, we can only hope the situation continues to improve fr Ms. Rowland.

finally PROMO! universal republic finally woken up! theyve rinsed motivation, time for that next single! about time
yayyy KELLY! way to go!
Go kelly! i’ll be watching, plus I’m seeing you live in Toronto in a few days with Chris! Can’t wait!! TeamKelly all the way! Congrats on Motivation going Platinum! 😀
It is taking far to much time for them to get her promo going. She needs a new video now, and more performances. She should have been on the VMA’s performing. She has got to keep whatever momentum she has going.

DAMN!I have never ever ever heard anyone announcing a promotional stop 1 month ago.Actually this is the first time there is a blog post about someone that is going to visit a talk show!!!OK. you’re free to stan for her, though!Glad for her and I hope she delivers in all aspects.
No shade but i really do think kelly’s album is done. I strongly doubt any promo would help sales. I was listening on the readio today in houston and they were talking about how motivation became somewhat huge due to liwayne and not necessarily kelly. I really do want her to succed but the only way she can is by featuring the top dogs in the game a la Nicki Minaj, wayne again,Beyonce,Gaga e.t.c but as a solo star it aint gonna happen.
*1 month before
Kelly wont be having an empress commercial. I heard that today. She is just an ambassador not the model representing empress. I thought she would have a commercial sucks. The commercial would consist of an Australian Model.
I think Kelly had the ugliest album cover in history. That face needs fat injections.
@HERE I AM IS DONE I don’t know what radio station that was, but they are churning out nonsense.If Lil Wayne is the reason why it became a hit, then how come ‘No Love’ underperform and ‘Fire Flame’ flop?Why did all the singles he was featured on in 2011 flopped apart from LAMN, Motivation and ‘I’m On One’??’Motivation’ was a hit because it was a great song with good lyrics, catchy beat and a cool video.Not because of Lil Wayne.
*underperformed *flopped *flop
Well this is definitely a good look. Lord knows she needs all the promo she can get at this point. Hopefully she’ll kill the performance and maybe she can see a sales increase following her performance, even though I seriously doubt the album can really be resurrected at this point. Her promo for this album was just a mess. SMH.
Still think the “Lay it On Me’ video should have BEEN out! I disgress……
S/N: Her dancers look sooo gay in that pic.
Here I am is done? Who cares what a dumb radio station has to say How you can you say the album is over it just started! Bye maybe next time Lay it on me has just started taking off You know when you can say a album is over when it has 4 singles out and theu all flopped bye

LMAO! Yeah I see why you are always coming for Bey now, you’re a damn Kelly stan! Tell me, why the hell would Kelly have performed on the VMA’s?! She wasn’t even nominated! What was she gonna perform, ‘Motivation’ for the umpteenth time?! Cause that’s her only hit she has had in a while and that’s a lil too r&b for the VMA audience! Kelly ain’t ready for the VMA’s, MAYBE the pre show, but not the actual award show itself.
Face it, Kelly is lucky she booked Jimmy Kimmel.
Lay It On Me IS NOT PICKING UP ON RADIO! IT DECREASES EVERY DAY!
At this point, Its too late for the album, Only singles will sell for her…..The album is all the waaaaaaaay down on iTunes!
VA STAND UP!!!
Not only is he a Kelly stan, he jumps on newcomers bandwagons (like Gaga and Adele) and PRETENDS to be their fans just so he can have some ammo since Kelly is giving him nada.

I have high hopes for Kelly I think this year she will shine and people will notice what a good artist she is. Beyonce and Kelly are both great i dont know why people try to say Kelly wont succeed and shine as bright as Beyonce. Beyonce was a nobody once and i bet back then people also put her down saying she wont be a good such a great artist as she is today.

b**** u mad? beyonce is a has been , she copying people promoting kids to have babys and i bet when the grammys come she will be there pregnant trying to steal rihannas spotlight!
KERI IS ALRIGHT
ur the only beyonce stan on here why dont u buy her album again because the uk aint buying that s*** nomore , rihanna from barbados and they buying her shitt over beyawnce
why is a f***** beyonce stan on here anyway always trying to steal kellys shine . i hate beyonce she unoriginal and a disgrace to music.
kellys album is so terrible sounds like she copied keri hilson and rihanna .
Yes Get it KELLY #TeamKelly forever HATERS stay the f****** mad
kelly rowland is ugly
lol at the cd sales
this album is so weak every song on the album sounds the same!
@ ManOnDaMoon
I’m sorry the year is over. Kelly will not be big. This was the same ish that was said in 2007 that kelly would be big and whatnot. The label will try out 1 album for her, if it tanks which most likely it would, THey are dropping her ass.
wackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
lol
her album is the worst this yr ……..
Kelly is definitely one too keep an eye out for. she has been coming out of her shell slowly. the shirtless guys should cop one of theseMCR Tokyo Flash watches, take some of the attention of the chest. lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er6G7o-BSuU&feature=player_embedded
thats the watch though
So theres a new post about Kelly Rowland because she is going to perform on Kimmel in about a month? Really?
too late
➡
oh ya rihanna can’t compete with beyonce!!!!!!!! how is it rihanna cant sell more than beyonce? 4 has been out for 2 months and has sold 700k in the US but rihanna’s loud already went platinum before 2 months in the US. it took beyonce 4 weeks to sell 1 million world wide, Loud sold 2 million in 5 weeks. so who can’t compete? that is not to say beyonce is done i am just saying that rihanna’s last album burrys beyonce’s. oh and Cheers #5 this week on billboard. http://www.billboard.com/#/news/game-s-r-e-d-bows-at-no-1-on-billboard-200-1005333592.story just stay mad 4 top 10 hits, 3 #1s, who run the world not beyonce.
@Jade
Coming out of shell is not singing about s**, flashing boobs. I am no RIhanna Stan but as far as RIhanna exists, Kelly rowland would never happen. I’m sorry to inject this but darker women don’t have it good in the industry.
I would say kelly was lucky with motivation, i honestly don’t see it for any other of her songs and by the way she is getting older. She should have done all these s** stuff she is selling now years ago.
oh sorry to say but just to keep it real, kelly will never sell like bey, gaga, rih, katy, not even like kesha. these have been proven by her last 3 albums, she should still make music but honestly none of you should be surprised by the numbers.
@YEAH RIGHT, i am glad to see there isn’t as many delusional people on this post as i thought. lol
That’s funny and true, …..look at Adele. She has yet to drop a second video or official second single and look at her success just from “Rolling In The Deep”. I’m still waiting for a UK version of the “Here I Am”, album with more of the dancey music she left off the final cut of the album.
Big Sean: Kelly, Imma make you call me B.I.G.
Beat drops
Lay it on me, baby lay it on me, oh, lay it on me
Lay it on me, put it down on me, oh, put your hands on my body!!!-
Yes!! Bout damn time!! Heifer you better slay!!!
@isabella
Most of her Stans think like Sam. One hit with motivation and then BAM kelly has arrived. Album sales came out crickets. We haven’t forgotten she flopped again. lesser deals like Empress came out and they say she is getting top notch endorsements and all lol. I don’t see it for Lay it on me, her fans would soon face reality. But how can they when kelly isn’t facing reality. Who tweets a single has gone platinum what about the album wood… How can she have an album in barely 1 month it is no more top 50 and has sold less than 200,000. That is terrible for kelly. She is a DC member and not just a chick that fell from nowhere.
this b**** beyonce cannot sing , act , dance or write , but she is a media s*** w**** with no morals or originality , and kelly rowland got lucky with 1 single and the song was pure rip off of keri hilson , everybody still thinks its keri!
ADELE SOLD 9 MILLION IN THE US THAT PROVES THAT U DONT HAVE TO SHAKE UR ASS, SHAKE UR WEAVE , WEAR LEOTARDS , AND BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT 24/7 . BEYONCE IS THE ONLY ONE OUT HER SELLING S** TO SELL ALBUMS ! ADELE HEAVY AND SOULFUL SHE ONLY MOVES HER HANDS WHEN SHE IS SINGING .
THE ALBUM IS A WASTE OF CASH.
@ Cellete can YOU sing , act , dance or write ??? just what i thought…and for someoene who you claim cant do these things..she is still making money…now eat that up??
and for the persons who said lay it on me airplay is decreasing..do your research boo..it increases DAILY…
KELLY need to pray for a DC3 REUNION :

#bye !
Bey hurting alot of feelings lol. I would love to see how Adele would perform on her next album. Knock it off with this Adele stuff already. Adele is becoming overrated now. People stanning for Adele you know your asses don’t even have her boring ass album.
I would take celine dion’s albums anyday anytime over Adele. WTF is that slob singing everybody is crazy about. Let me not go in too much on Adele but Amy winehouse was way better and she didn’t get this sales like Adele. I just think fat people are buying her album just because they can relate to her weight and not her music.
wow..so much hates going on here.what has this beauty queen done to you haters.she is not the reason why beyonce singles flopped or is she?She is f****** doing well,so u haters should fall back..She doesnt have to be like caca,rihgoat,beyankarabbit coz shez simply kelly.
YASSS
@TGJ Readers/Bloggers/Passers-by —
“Sam deciphered”:
1.) “Landed Jimmy Kimmel Gig” = Stupid B**** is making a “ONE TIME” appearance! Every time I hype this ‘dumb broad’ up, some more of her sorry-a** CD sales numbers get released by hdd.com!
2.) “Granted ‘Lay It On Me’ is “gradually” picking up on radio” = Hopefully this ‘flop-b****’ won’t embarrass me any more with her s***** excuse for music that NO ONE wants to hear, play, NOR support!
3.)”For no matter which way it’s spun, the video for ‘Motivation’ came out a whopping 5 months ago. A period which which has seen only two televised performances and no other videos.Still, it says something when a song can still go Platinum under those circumstances” = Man, who am I kidding..?? Even with Wayne featured on the track, it took 5-long-a** months to go platinum! This b**** couldn’t sell Jesus to the dying!
Yo, If I AIN’T had all THESE bills..?? ..Shhhhiitttttt.. Don’t know if I can do it: just can’t keep shuffling, smiling and polishing s***, you know? ..Imma just keep on cashing this b**** checks!
The latest “HERE I FLOP” Scorecard:
77K-First week, 22K-Second week, 16K-Third week, 10K-Fourth week, 7K-Fifth week = 132-K OTC U.S. Retail Units (approx)
x,y,”and z”
-_- at the Kelly stan trying to shade Beyonce…
Kelly’s biggest mistake era was that she wasn’t getting all the promotion she could have while the pot was hot….(something Beyonce,Gaga,and Rihanna know how to do.)…she COULD have some success but her promo train is lazy……
wow.i love this woman to death..she is my everything..lay it on me is doing well,so im happy that my beauty queen is finally getn the shines she deserves.hmmm..my baby is now a threat to your faves you haters..you guys are all crazy and jobless.if checking for someone you think is a wack?i dont use to check for beyonce because shez nt that talented as kelly
Must you constantly reference a single or song by the artist in EVERY post? What is this, high school journalism?
y r there always beyonce fans coming at Kelly. she is human ya know. if you don’t like her don’t come to her post. It is obvious that Sam likes kelly and will support her no matter what. You don’t have to sell millions to be a good artist.
Get off kelly. go back & worship beyonce since she is your god.
Pure foolishness.
@kellywelover,thank you so much dear.i couldnt have said it better myslf.i love this beautiful queen talented diva
Why is this just now happening!? Uggghh! Universal needs to get they s*** togetha! They really did milk the hell out of motivation. They should have been milking the hell out of both songs at the same time. But I kinda figured promotion was gonna be a dud cuz the company prolly reach the budget limit cuz of all those videos they put out previous of Motivation. I hope the video for Lay It On Me don’t come out to be cheap looking. I would count this era out though, it could go Gold but definitely not platinum. She should just focus on selling singles at this point
you know, i really believed this era would be different. alas, i was wrong.
can someone help me understand why this chick didn’t promote her album?
i used to be a delusional stan but i’m starting to understanding what people have been saying for years: ms rowland is just not a solo superstar. and you know what, that’s okay.
done with supporting her because it appears that she doesn’t hustle for herself.
it’s been good.
@mhud, thank you. this is also coming from a frustrated fan. but who knows how the budgeting was from the label? i mean its so easy to talk mess, but no one knows what goes on behind close doors. The girl is hella busy with x factor, movies, etc…so i can only hope she does well and at least go gold.
sigh
PPL can come on this blog all day bashing Kelly about her album sales but guess what???? That is not gonna stop her this time! There are still people out there that don’t know she has an album out! By the end of the year if she hasn’t reached atleast 500k then she would be considered a flop! She do not have the fanbase Rhianna or Beyonce has she’s slowly building 1! So stop comparing…
To the haters:
And she’s still performing on Kimmel soooo why are y’all hating again? Ohhhhh that’s right, it’s y’all job, and it’s not even a paid position. F****** volunteers. Find something else to do. Pick up a book or something. Go to school. It’s always the same haters. You have another fav but you hate on somebody else’s. That does not go together.
Clock those dollars Kelly!!!!!!!!
Why all these haters MAD at Kelly at least she is not using pregnancy to sell the album!!!
hahahahahahah @Muni. that was funny. Her stans worship her & they think they is no other. They are many people out there who is better than her. I even prefer rihanna! 🙂
LMAO BEY destroyed the life of every basic hater….. Anyway does anyone know what BEY is having yet.
YAAAYYYY !!! Cannot wait for all of it…Go KELLS !!! LUH U ! 🙂
I tried to see eye to eye with Kelly’s fans but they are so damn cocky!! Its all “Kelly will slay, Kelly will do this ,Kelly will do that” but guess what? When the single comes out, none of you buy it AND none of you will request it Just like how NONE OF YOU bought the album that much!
How dare y’all shade Beyonce…… Y’all not on the level to shade Beyonce.
anyway
Most “ADELE FANS” are only bandwagon fans who are here because she’s selling. I liked Adele ever since “19” and I like her the same as I used to. I bet half of these “ADELE STANS” even own “19”. At this point, its safe to say that 80% of Adele’s fans were Susan Boyle’s fans…OOP!
I’m happy Kelly is finally doing the video for “Lay It On Me.” Love that song!
I’m glad that Kelly is going to promote some more. She’s been way too busy with X Factor.
I am glad Kelly continues to get her shine….she works hard, she deserves the best. hopefully they get the promo right for the international release of the album. always such a classy, beautiful role model..love her
ummmm no this doesnt look promising at all. Lay it on me has pretty much stalled on US radio. Turn it up needs to be released.
“UNITY” is the answer for Kelly Rowland … a song that keeps getting airplay with no promotional support or video ! Hello, Universal – anyone there ???
I got the CD, love Kelly. But I got to tell you there are some sick and ugly ‘f***’ on this site. Damn! Get a life!
U guys for get we live in a singles market no one really buys albums anymore and Kelly’s Motivation has gone platinum with very little promo and her album debuted at no 1 on the R&B and 3 on the Billboard chart which is a career high, and none of Beyonces singles have gone platinum yet and she has hype, promo, and simple minded fans. Kelly’s Motivation was No 1 on R&B charts for 7 weeks and was top 20 on the 100 chart and Beyonce has not had a single go higher then “motivation” and she has 3 out already and they are all flops. Kelly is also booked more magazine covers Vibe, Grazia, Monarchy, Fearless, Juice, And Hype Hair and she also is doing acting the only thing keeping beyonce relevant is her pregnancy, Kelly is getting ready to take over Lay it on me is already chartting
Most of Y’all People Jus Dis Likee Kellyy Eff Beyonce Yayyyy.!!!!! Go Kelly Make Mama Proud Motivation. :)) This Comminqg FRom A Laguna New Mexico Chiick 🙂
