Hot Shots: Kelly Rowland’s Regal Shoot For ‘The Times’

Published: Monday 5th Dec 2011 by Sam

 

Kelly Rowland scorched the stage on the X Factor night, however her stunning new shoot for ‘The Times’ magazine sees the singer demurer form.

In other Rowland news, the UK edition of her ‘Here I Am’ album is staging quite the chart rebound. Released last week, amidst minimal fanfare, last night’s showing saw the LP rocket into the iTunes Top 10 albums, where it comfortably sits at #7 as we type. It’s lead single ‘Down for Whatever’ holds steady at #9 two weeks after release.

Work.

    @Sam —

    1.)”Rocket-up the charts/Staging quite the chart rebound”..?!

    “Here I am” is STILL stuck at #56 on the U.K. Top-100 Chart.. And hasn’t even “charted” on the World Top-40 CD chart! http://www.theofficialcharts.com/albums-chart/ .. And mediatraffic(dotde)/albums.htm

    2.)”Released last week amidst minimal fanfare”..?!

    “Here I am”, according the the aforementioned Top-100 U.K. CD chart, was released FOUR WEEKS AGO; NOT “last week”!! She’s a sitting judge/mentor on one of the U.K.’s most-watched weekly shows. And, she was recently voted one of U.K. X-Factor’s most popular judges. What “more” fanfare does she need? ..Others have done FAR-more with WAAAY-less..!!

    She’s failed you, Sam! She’s a lost cause! Your efforts will be better spent on someone more deserving. And they’re LOADS of more-talent artists out there; ESPECIALLY in the U.K. ..

    Oh, and she’s rumored to be returning to the U.S.?! Well, here, in the U.S., she’s even more..”realized”: less-than 200-K Retail after now, some 14-weeks!

    Sam, I’ll tell you what(and you can “make book” on this): Simon Cowell is going to fire her. It’ll be done as NOT to disgrace/shame her, and for her to “save face”. But it is now abundantly certain that her presence is now a liability! She and that OTHER ‘judge chick’. How can you be a judge/mentor of ANY talent, when you yourself is so..”lacking”??
    And you’re “lacking” when your CD is failing, badly – ON BOTH SIDES OF THE OCEAN…!!

    ..And, as she has NO OTHER ‘revenue streams’ to “tap” into, by way of a ‘360-contract'(as Rihanna is currently signed to), Universal/Motown will soon drop the 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland.

    She’s finished.. That’s it: Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Que the “flower bringing” and “slow singing” cause cash registers ain’t-a-ringing..

    @ xyz …one simple question..what has kelly rowland done to u..for u to be so negative towards her?

  10. TruthTeller December 5, 2011

    LMAO @Samantha
    Ur lil b**** ass has yet to cover yesterday’s update of the UK charts and Kelly’s sad debut at #56 with 8,000 copies sold.

    Now u claim a comeback for being #7 on the freaking itunes charts?
    Do u know how ridiculously small itunes is in the UK ALBUM market?
    Let’s see if u cover next week REAL CHART updates when it is proven that even an Xfactor performance can’t save that sunk ship that has been her “career”

  11. Girrrl December 5, 2011

    I love how kellys album flop is being downplayed. That s*** debuted at 56 in the uk and she’s on Tv there every week. The world knew Kelly was dropping that mess and only 8000 people who felt sorry for her bought it!
    I am going to reduce my previous prediction. 200k ww is the most Here I Am Flopping all over the place will sell.

  12. Sarah December 5, 2011

    Haters, stay Mad, you ain’t got nothing on Kelly

  13. RHI RHI IS QUEEN December 5, 2011

    SO WHO IS THIS T*****?..

  14. williNalli December 5, 2011

    OH MY GOD!!! This is ANGELIC…It just IS…WOW

    @TRUTH 🙂 LMFAO … True that.

  15. Rowlflop family December 5, 2011

    She is still flopping.

    She has only motivation that didn’t even make top 10 on the main chart.
    How is “Here I am” selling in the United States that’s the real question.

    @truth
    Kelly damn well can’t hold a candle to Rihanna and Beyonce. You best believe if not for her role on X-factor she would never have gotten any mainstream cover. Mark my words as soon as she quits X-factor she would go back to being irrelevant. Even with her being a judge in the UK she couldn’t garner attention to sell her album. Kelly is a mainstream disgrace.

    What happened to “Lay it on me” in the US. Flopped harder than Run the world. Why do you think she is begging for a drake remix on Keep it with us or whatever the flop songs is. She needs a mainstream rapper to help her raise her bars. Hence motivation with wayne. Anything she does by herself can never be a hit.

    She is a cursed child. So is her drunken father and her ugly ass mother. They are a flop family.

  16. Rowlflop family December 5, 2011

    hahaha

    A family that was built with a drunk father and a janitor mother of course it’s only natural the offspring would be a failure which is kelly flopland.

  17. EdwardPonton December 5, 2011

    If she’s a “FLOP” What the hell are you haters typing behind a keyboard? She can Buy all of you. The people you stan for does not even know you rather yet care for you!!! Kelly is one of the most nicest and down to earth celebrities we have and so much negativity? If you dont like her, fine. However, WHY go out of your way to click on a thread about her to emphasize how much you basically dont like her? Oh the money keep people talking… Kelly Flopland, HereIFlop all that. It sounds nice… lol but her pockets still on swole.

  18. muni December 5, 2011

    Goddess!!

  19. College girl December 5, 2011

    I love this woman!!!

  20. SNAFU December 5, 2011

    Some of these comments are just…RUDEx1000

    She’s a nice person. No need for all of that.

  21. Fleur December 5, 2011

    Ms. Kelly is so lovely.

  22. Ghetto Fab December 5, 2011

    Money talks bull s*** walks. Right now Miss Kelly is getting money and you all mad. Too bad so sad. She is doing big things and a few of you can’t handle that. She’s doing everything you all said she couldn’t do a year ago. I’m damn proud of her for that. She’s proved tons of people wrong.

  23. Sonia December 6, 2011

    Some of this comment is too harsh, she is human, if u don’t like her don’t come here and be so harsh.
    She is doing her thing & I think her music is better than many of this artist that is no 1 everywhere, I think she is underrated period.
    And you can’t blame her about her family background.
    Maybe some if you that say harsh word her feeling bad about urself so u need someone to accuse of you not feeling fine.
    Becareful ,those words that you say really hurt me as if I am her.
    Imagine what she will fell when she read it.

  24. X,Y, “and Z” December 6, 2011

    A “Rose” is a ‘Rose’, is a “Rose”; yes?

    ..That said, a “Flop” by ANY OTHER name: World Wide less-than 200K Retain Units moved!

    Poor Sam. Poor, Poor, Sam! After A-L-L the accolades, hyperbole, and flowers thrown. After ALL the adjectives now exhausted: #56 on the U.K.’s Top-100 CD chart, 8K Retail Units moved, after 4-weeks…?!?!!!

    Oh, “Rowdogs”, what shame!! The stench, shame, “sharp and bitterness” of it all..

    Now, witness with ALL the “expeditious, yet face-saving quickness” 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland’s departure from X-Factor U.K.! You can best believe “spin teams” are now looking for an “angle” to “make palatable” this fast-coming “dismemberment”. As I told y’all, Mr. Cowell isn’t a man to be made a fool of, not with B**’s “Strictly Come Dancing” steadily trending upwards, and eating into “X-Factor” viewership!

    I mean, a measly, after FOUR LONG WEEKS, #56 placement, and horrific 8K Units moved?!?! Real Talk: like WHO does that..?!?! Who gets such a platform, being a ‘sitting judge’ on one of the U.K.’s most popular weekly TV shows, and THEN only moves 8K Retail Units (after 4-weeks), and a God-AWFUL #56 chart position..?!?!

    Sam, 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland is FINISHED! Matthew Knowles ALREADY knew it (which is why she and Michelle Williams were chosen to remain in DC). You NOW know it. I ALREADY knew it, and, as the “Fog of denial” is now burned away by the glaring, yet “disinfecting” truth – 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, herself, begins to realize it.

    There’s now, NO MORE “dark-skin sista-gurl/anti-Knowles” sentiment to draw upon (with her pathetic sales, that ‘well has now run dry’). Soon, no more X-Factor. And, yet-sooner, the (well deserved) label of a “LOSER” and “tired hasbeen”.

    Sam, if you remembered, I’d said: “I’d be here to ‘squeeze-off’ the shot that puts an end to her career.” Do you remember, Sam?

  26. SwaggaKiddJones December 7, 2011

    I Just Find It Amazing How Ppl Are So Quick To Judge Not Realizing That This Were Her Time To Shine And I Think She Has Done Just That More Then Being A Solo Artist Thus Far To Me Here I Am Was A Good Album But Others Have Their Own Opinion But I Feel As Though Is You Can’t Say Nothing Nice Don’t Bother To Say Nothing At All KELLY ROWLAND YOU ROCK 🙂 AND I’M A TRUE Fan Stay True To Yourself And The Rest Will Follow

  27. Kelly Rowland’s Husband December 8, 2011

    @X Y And Z
    You are THE most irritating. I mean damn! Why dou come on EVERY SINGLE Kelly post just to post irrelevant negativity???!!! This post is about Kelly’s pictures, not her music. This shows that you are just reaching… and pure hating.
    If that is all you are good for, then you probably should have been swallowed by your mother before you had the chance the pollute the world…

    Let it sink in… *shrugs*
