Kelly Rowland has spent the last 6 months judging others on hit British show ‘The X Factor’. However, the 30 year old is set to step out from behind the table for a show-stopping performance.
Details after the jump…
It was today revealed that Rowland will slip on her stilletto’s to perform on the December 4th episode of the show.
With the the slot taking place a week after the UK release of her album ‘Here I Am’, it has been confirmed that the Destiny’s Child alum will be performing a medley of hits of the project.
—————————-
Needless to say, it’s about time!
If Cheryl Cole could build her entire career around X Factor performances, it’d have been a serious injustice if Kelly was confined to sitting at the table the entire series (regardless of how great a judge she is).
We fully expect Ms. Kelly to serve up breakfast, lunch, and dinner with this one. As such, we won’t settle for anything less than weave, wind, a kick-ass back track, and an epic dance break. It’s only right.
Bring on next month!
Randomness: Can we have a moment of silence for the slayage that was this performance?! *Sheds tear*

She has a really good voice. I hope she does Down for Whatever.
sam PLEASE WE WANT A COUNTDOWN FOR THE AMA
Vocal rest for Kelly!!!
Want her to be so on point
@kellyrowland 🙂
She Crazy!!!!!
All her live performances of motivation and DFW have been tragic and why sing songs about s** after offcoms investigation last year. She is not an imaginative choreographer or performer like Bey, she just tends to push too hard. I think Simon knows this performance will give him just cause to dismiss her and end any rumor of her taking a spot on x Factor USA .
The British public have had the Alexandra Burke reaction to how fake and cringyey she is. X Factor has ruined the image Kelly had that fans really loved and Kelly and her people are not smart enough to gauge this. All Kelly has managed to do is overexpose her flaws, turn her most lucrative market against her and make a p*** poor judge in the process.
The British public are going to drag her before, during and after this performance.
You’re full of what your name is. Kelly slays and is one helluva singer and dancer. She’s a natural and doesn’t have to do extra like preggo Knowles-Carter.
*YAWN* I like Kelly but is this really news? I can’t imagine why she wouldn’t perform on a show in which she is a co-judge! JHO tossed out an album and she performed on American Idol. I would expect nothing less!
YESSS! So happy, she will rock the stage, and she will also boost her sales! So happy for Kelly yes yes yes yes!
YESSS! So happy, she will rock the stage, and she will also boost her sales! So happy for Kelly yes yes yes yes!
Kelly does not have the X factor.
Wow why do people always got to hate on real talent, Kelly has the talent and I hope her album get the success it deserves.
yasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
GO GO GO GO

I’m Happy Simon gave her this opportunity to perform, this will do well for sales! She’s performing DFW, Motiivation and Keep it btw Us! I don’t know why I’m rooting for this Lady, she does no wrong in my Eyes!
Great news!! She will boost album sales with the X Factor performance…Kelly is big in the UK. Down for whatever is at #10 of UK Itunes in its first day of release!
Her team is killing me.DECEMBER 4TH??The performance should take place a week AHEAD or at least at the same week to create hype.She needs to secure a proper first week peak before promoting in other shows…I don’t want them to make the same mistake they made with the US because their “longetivity” backtracked and blew up in their faces 😕
Anyway, there’s no denying that Kelly is an amazing performer that keeps evolving and getting more comfortable on stage.I just hope that ‘DFW’ is a strong enough lead single because this track sounds like a mess to me…I hope they can indeed have a dance breakdown and I wouldn’t like the same staging and dancing that she did in her other performance a few days ago
@Sam —
TGJ has been “slipping”…BADLY:
1.) Your/TGJ’s fave performing “Here I Am” material on X-Factor U.K. has ALREADY been long-ago known, and reported/made public – http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/x-factor/kelly-rowland-to-release-here-i-am-during-x-factor-live-shows/ :
“The Daily Star reports that the album will now hit the shelves this autumn, so that the former Destiny’s Child singer can perform one of it’s tracks on the show and use the hype surrounding the series to boost sales figures. A source told the newspaper: “Kelly has it written into her contract that she will perform on one of the live shows. She’s pushed her album release back until around when she performs, because she knows 15million viewers will do wonders for sales.” <– And this was released back in August 7th.
2.) And YES: Rihanna DID IN FACT sell "Rated – R" for $0.99. TGJ staff had, a few days ago, reported that it was never sold for said price. TGJ had post on it: thatgrapejuice(dotnet)/2009/11/rihannas-rated-r-slashed-099/
3.)TGJ had JUST reported that "Braxton Family Values" season opener was averaging FAR-above "season 2's average". But "season 2" just started last Thursday – with that said episode..!!!! ALSO, according to deadline: "In its first four airings, Braxton Family Values has averaged a 0.63 household rating, attracting 350,000 women in the 18-49 demographic, three times WE tv’s average in the Tuesday 9 PM slot." In other words, that time slot for WETV is weak. And for this past Thursday's episode: BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES WEtv 9:00 PM 0.5 (18-49). The thing is we DON'T have a fair comparison because we DON'T have an average for season 2 because we're only 2-episodes deep into said "season 2"! But don't you worry, Sam, I'll be here, to bring you ALL the gory details with all the…"MOTIVATION" I can summon..!!
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!
First and foremost I am so happy for her. She should have been shut that damn stage down. Next I hope that she gets from behind that table and focus on her own career. The opportunity was great but its time to break down other doors. Acting, endorsements, more music and more shows. We have work to do. Nonetheless I will not stand for all this hate but what I do know is that she is building that brand. Go ahead Miss Kelly show these haters & b****** why you still in the game. You came from one of the most successful groups of all time & nothing but greatest is ahead. I cannot see how basic people can have so much to say on a blog site…SMH. Instead of bringing another person down how about we lift her up and keep her encouraged. This show business is heavy and can be crucial. Anyway I am done! Go KELLY and SLLLLLLLAAAAYYYY!
I’m excited but I’m scared cause Kelly ain’t that strong vocally to perform a medley live like this and with the pressure that she’ll have to show to the other judges and contestants that she is the real deal it might affect her vocals. I’m so scared of her souding out of breath, with difficulties to reach and hold notes. I’m nervous she really need to rehearse like crazy. Kelly girl you have to be on POINT !
@ Laurie
I’m excited but nervous as well…. Kelly has a really nice voice but through out her performances you can tell she focuses on breath control oppsed to letting loose & having a good time. I wish she would let the DC medley go and perform songs off her album instead! It makes much more sense! I hope she performs Motivation, Lay It on Me, Keep It Between Us and end her performance with her new single DFW. I will say as much as I love her on Xfactor UK I hope she does not come back next yr as 1. I really want next year to be a really big year for her. I wanna see her in movies, another album, endorsement deals, magazine spreads, perfume fragrance, etc… in the US.
Woohoo go Kelly
Shove that chav b**** Tulisa in the corner and show your the best judge!
GO GO GO KELLY, SHE STAYS MAKING HER PAPER>>>
Good!! I wish she was performing before the album drops but oh well. Bring on December 4!
Finally!
She should have performed on the 20th of November to promote her new UK single, which is coming out on the 21st OR the 27th of November , the day before her album comes out.
The 4th of December is a bit pointless but Hey , it is not Kelly `s fault and we love her here in the UK.
Go Kelly , i am going to see her at B** Radio EXTRA on the 1st of December
YEAH
Love Kelly to bits. I think she should perform Heaven and Earth to show her vocals, then Motivation and any other single. Heaven and Earth would be a real good song to open the show and finish with a dance song. Kelly is a very good singer, and those who say the British public will crush her before, during and after the performance, well, that should not stop her because a lot of performers on X Factor do not sing live. Ketty Perry’s voice is not that good, but she performs every year.
Love Kelly Ro! Also LOVE the fact that she is performing on MY birthday, December 4th!
(P.S. Hopefully the rumors ARE true about her replacing Nicole S., cause lawd knows sometimes I wann go Fat Albert THE MOVIE on that h*!)
On NICOLE, people…not my girl Kels
