Kelly Rowland will not be appearing on the X Factor UK this weekend.
The ‘Motivation’ singer was struck down with a serious throat infection during a planned business trip to Los Angeles. While on her flight from London to LA, the Grammy winner is believed to have contracted a rare virus – which, by the time time of landing, left her almost unable to swallow.
Rushed to hospital, the 30 year old has been there since under the advice of doctors.
And while she rests up ahead an expected return next week, it has been confirmed that Pop force Alexandra Burke will step in to represent Kelly on tonight and tomorrow night’s live shows.
————————-
Given the media propaganda surrounding the supposed “Kelly+Misha B /Tulisa beef”, it’s fair to say the timing of Rowland’s illness is probably the worst it could be.
However, with former X Factor winner Burke taking up her cause, fans of Kelly’s Girls category can breathe a sigh of relief. For, with Tulisa and co’s claws out and ready to rip, it would have been a distaster.com had her acts have to fend for themselves against the likes of Tulisa and her calculated antics.
We’ll certainly be watching. Will you?

Yes *sick* ok then we all believe this….
That’s a great look for Alexandra and will probably earn her the job permanently…, out of all of Simon’s girls she is the one who has played the game the best so he should reward her with a place on the judging panel.
I want to see Alex bring class and depth to the role she will be great.
I really wana believe kelly is jus “sick” but yea this couldn’t have happened at a worse time LOL but if it is true I wish kelly a very fast recovery .. let’s not kid ourselves kelly is running that table
Wow ok! Didn’t expect this. Exciting to see Alexandra on the judge panel and really sad for Kelly. Wish her all the best and a very fast recovery. She brought the hotness to the show and do think she’s a class act.
Who cares if y’all believe it or not? She’s still paid and doesn’t owe anyone any explanation. See ya next week Kelly, and get well soon. Definitely won’t be watching the show today.
I really hope my girl doesn’t disappoint, however she has many haters that will be going in on her 🙁
Let the haters hate what are they doing with there lives. It is sad when people are so lacking in any pride. Alex conducts herself well and is a lady, we should all aim to make something of ourselves.
kelly aint sick she is a drama queen she need to get it together
i wish you quick recovery queen kelly rowland
yay!! f****** brilliant…can’t wait
@Sam —
Kelly Rowland is on the way out! And if/when Mr. Cowell has to retake the reins of that U.K. show, you can THEN expect to see an entire RE-casting – TRUST..!!!! And that “recent bit of drama”, involving Ms. Rowland? ..Well, it was simply….”Simon says”.
But, no matter however way you cut it, no matter whatever your feelings on the matter (Sam, yours is now a matter of record) “X-Factor U.K.” is in serious trouble!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2053549/X-Factor-2011-ratings-Did-Simon-Cowell-order-judges-war-spice-show.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Sam, these recent numbers/trends are indeed foreboding:
“Meanwhile, ITV1 bosses have failed to arrest the year-on-year decline of the show’s performance . Although the blockbuster hit remains one of ITV’s biggest shows, the show is down on last year’s audience totals and audience share.
Saturday night’s show averaged 9.75 million viewers and a 38% share according to overnight ratings, compared to 12 million viewers and an average of 47% share at the same stage a year ago.”
“X Factor even lost first place to Strictly Come Dancing- the B**’s version of Dancing With The Stars which it has beaten in recent years – when they briefly went head to head on Saturday night. Sunday night’s results show attracted 13.5 million viewers, down from 15 million viewers at the same stage a year ago.”

Sam, I’m never one for gaudy, crude self-promotion, nor over-the-top bravado, but….”TOLDJA SO!!!!” And it’s in this…”declining”, “poisonous” environment ‘Here I am’ is to have its U.K. brick-and-mortar release?! “..WONNN-DERR-FUL…!!” The sooner 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland’s “hapless” attempts at a “career revival” is put out of its misery, the better!!
X,Y,”and Z”
In the meantime can you please guys in Uk preoder kelly rowland down for whatever Ep on itunes now. Let’s push it to #1 teamkelly and leave the haters stuck in haterland. H mean they never take vacation remember?

KELLY IS GOING TO GO “””UNNOTICED””””AT THE SHOW…SHE ISNT THE SHOW AND TGJ WAISTED TIME POSTING THIS,,,SERIOUSLY THERE IS NO FANS OF KELLY ON THIS SITE
@LINSIM re: 11:14 am
“In the meantime can you please guys in Uk preoder kelly rowland down for whatever Ep on itunes now. Let’s push it to #1”
“Push her”..?! “Here I am” has been available to “U.K. Rowdogs” now, via “Amazon U.K.”, for MONTHS now! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Here-I-Am-Kelly-Rowland/dp/B0055CJ8T2
What about “pushing” (where it matters..) ‘Here I am’ (not) on the “Itunes charts”?? Well, you’d better “push” a little harder: not one single ‘Here I am’ “sighting” – http://musicchartfeeds(dotcom)/itunes-album-chart/
So, with X-Factor U.K. now trending lower (in ratings), the question just BEGS to be asked: “if she can’t move U.S. CDs. If she’s UNABLE to sell U.S. concert tickets. If she can’t “MOTIVATE”, AND KEEP the interest of U.K. TV viewers, how is she THEN expected to draw AND HOLD the interest of U.S. TV viewers? Y’all do remember the ‘talk’ bout her hosting her very-own TV show, right?
Look, we’re ALL now just coming to the sobering realization, what Matthew Knowles long-ago observed, when “calculating” the final members of DC. He was NOT about to have HIS “Golden Child” upstaged by her stage/group mates. Ergo: “two life-sized human cutouts” for Beyonce to dance and sing around..!!
30-year-old-something Kelly Rowland’s “better” year(s) have long-now(nearly a decade) passed: 2002, to be exact, when “Simply Deep” was released into the “warm embrace” of then-recent DC breakup (temporary?). Even then, with only some 77K – First Week’s sales, and subsequent 600K Final U.S. Retail, it proved disappointing when considering the vast resources lavished upon it.
I’VE LONG-AGO SAID: “SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER ALREADY!!” It’s time to put “Brand Kelly” out of its misery. I say it’s time for her to get her “Orlando Bloom look-alike” and permanently move to Europe! After all, she DID say “Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are T-H-E most beautiful”!
I KNOW my words won’t “register” with you “black gay men”. You’re homosexuals. You won’t care. You don’t like women, so it’s something, no-matter how I try to explain, you’ll ever “get”. But even you, and your “tortured, contorted, confused gender-projections” (upon her) won’t “save” 30-year-old-something Kelly Rowland from the “crushing, incising jaws of the inevitable”!

I just read a bunch of nonsense; then I realized I was reading a post by X,Y,and Z. Lord please forgive me for the sin I just committed.
@ Jamie I am watching it cause i wanna see if that FOOL Tulisa will try her CRAP again this week with any of Kelly’s girls.
Kelly is too good for the UK XFactor. She’s above it! Fukk the UK X Factor and keep ya’ll bum b****** as judges like that white girl that is a nobody in a nobody band that are wanna be black eyed peas…..

“I just read a bunch of nonsense; then I realized I was reading a post by X,Y,and Z. Lord please forgive me for the sin I just committed.” <–o~O
So Jamie, what's worse:
1.) Reading "nonsense".
2.) Reading "nonsense" said/written by someone you obviously disagree with?
3.) Or, are the two mutually exclusive, and only come into "contention" depending on the "volume of your gayness"??
Jamie, tell us, have YOU your copy of "Here I am"?? Be honest! I mean, after only that pathetic 77K – First Week, AND now, STILL less-than 200k after now some 10-weeks is..well.."pathetic", "tragic", "aggravating", if not "whole-sale" contemptuous.
Jamie, long-story short – there STILL "two constants" that remain fixed in the Universe:
1.)You gays are STILL going to hell.
2.) And 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland's career/brand now "flickers in rapid-decline"..!!

2. how is her career declining with she has a endorsement deal she was up for awards and she did a tv show i don’t get what your definition of decline means because those are good things
3. you really go out of your way to talk negatively to somebody you must have alot of time on your hands and try to talk to cocky to people over the internet like we are some second rate trash that doesn’t know anything well let me just clarify w/ you i’m a kelly fan so you don’t have to remind what her album sales are i know you have to have to tell me where her album is or is not on the charts i know that about her and every other artist i’m rooting for so with that say get life its just ashame you dislike somebody so bad i get you don’t like her music but if her albums sales are doing bad I still support her because she puts out great her , bey, keri, chris, rihanna, britney, trey, michelle, lady gaga, etc ok all of them put out great music and I will buy there album because I loved what I heard

SORRY, I DON'T TAKE THAT "DUSTY TRAIL"!! You see, my "walk" in this life, and what comes "in the eternity", is MUCH too precious to me. BUT, they're OTHER bloggers: "Antertain", "Thedimplepuppet", "Jamie" and "Dane" who, I'm sure, will gladly entertain, and/or take your "invitation" under advisement!
"you will NEVER IN LIFE be near as RICH AND REKNOWN as Kelly Rowland"
Do YOU know " 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland's" current tax bracket, or her "net worth"? If you do, care to post verifiable, reliable, trustworthy link(s)? ALSO, I've NEVER been late, nor "upside-down" (knock wood) on any of MY mortgages. Your fave can't say the same, now can she? NOPE!
"So keep writing your 500 word hate essays on her everyday- lol. Pathetic mothafkka!"
ME..?! Well, I NEVER critique another blogger's writing. Especially when I know, I MYSELF, am prone to mistakes(as I rarely proofread, 'am forever multitasking; and type at over 65wpm). That said, "REKNOWN = RENOWN"
