We have exhausted all excuses for Kelly...point blank period. People want to say that Kelly didn't get the same treatment as Bey, but I'm almost positive that they were ALL working with some type of vocal coach/ voice lessons. So why is it that 10 years after her solo career begins...her live vocals are still horrible after 15 years in the industry? I saw her on Jay Leno, and the overall performance was entertaining, but it was hard to watch because she didn't sound very good. I mean...I felt a huge case of second hand embarrassment for her. Now that's unacceptable for someone who has been in the game for as long as she has. People are accepting and settling for anything with Kelly right now because they feel sorry for her, and most of all people want to see her out shine Bey. The problem with that is they are on two totally different levels, and in the end Kelly is the one who suffers from it. People may not like Beyonce (for whatever reason), but they KNOW that she delivers......Kelly, on the other hand, depends on the day of the week.
