Hot Shot: Kelly Rowland Lets It Bounce For Essence

Published: Thursday 6th Oct 2011 by David

Pop singer Kelly Rowland is both bold and vivacious on the Fall 2011 Hair Issue  cover of Essence Magazine, just days before she graces X Factor UK live finals as a judge on the hit British show.

The release of the cover also comes days before the release of her new video for the single ‘Lay It On Me’.

Be sure to keep it locked on That Grape Juice to make sure you catch it first.

    Kelly Rowland is one of the many female celebrities who always look stunning…Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Ls Jones, and Monique are always on point. These are women who know what style, high fashion, and elegance is all about.

  22. KINGBeysus October 6, 2011

    Bitter f*** stay mentioning Bey but Kelly looks good.

  23. S*** (U MAD?) October 6, 2011

    Does she not know shes just an OPENING ACT/Side Show Gal?? O_o

    LMAO @ it being almost 6 LONG years since Kelly been on tour. B**** hasnt been on tour since DESTINYS CHILD (Retired)!! goes to show just how dependent she is on Bey that she has to jump on board with someone else’s fanbase(chris Browns) Just to go on tour. 😕

    But I guess I’d take anything too if my Album was struggling just to see 200K even with all the hype & a #1 R&B Hit, Even SOLANGE & LETOYAS Album did better :/

    Vocals: 2.5/5 (Bey 4.7/5)
    Dancing: 4/5 (Bey 4.6/5)
    Music: 3/5 (Bey 4.8/5)
    Personality/looks: 4/5 (Bey 5/5)
    Overall: 3/5 (Bey 5/5) 😐

    I love this Essence cover. I have been waiting to see Kelly grace the cover of Essence magazine, and even though this is the annual hair issue, it will do. I got the first issue which featured Monica as the cover artist and I was looking for this issue in the store today but it was not there yet. I hope it will be on shelves soon because I will be buying it.
    Her Cosmopolitan cover is nice too. It’s a body shot and her clothing (though scarce) is very cute. Kelly is showing off her bust and her abs, but still manages to pull off a more ’round the way girl’ vibe as opposed to s** kitten (like her Vibe cover and spread). If for whatever reason it does not get posted on this site you can always view it at OMKelly.com.
