Watch: Kelly Rowland Sings Whitney Houston’s ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ On Katie Couric

Published: Friday 30th Aug 2013 by Sam

Kelly Rowland is reportedly holed up in the studio, as she puts the finishing touches to the re-release of her latest LP ‘Talk A Good Game’.

During the promotional run for the original, the ‘Dirty Laundry’ songbird stopped by The Katie Couric Show where she performed album number ‘This Is Love’. However, in footage that has only just surfaced, the 32-year-old also served up an impromptu rendition of Whitney Houston‘s classic ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’.

The “moment” came during a segment that saw Ms. Kelly gushing over the late icon; when prompted to “give us a little Whitney”, Rowland obliged.

Flip the hood to see how she fared…

Love it!

Look out for Kelly on The X Factor USA, which kicks off next month!

  2. Alex August 30, 2013

    She’s such a talent! Even when put on the spot like that, she killed it! Amazing!

  3. shisha August 30, 2013

    Gaud I love that woman! Havent felt that kind of love for a singer/entertainer since Janet! Kelly really makes me wish I could sing!

  4. Pure talent August 30, 2013

    She is SUPER TALENTED no one can deny!

  5. Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 30, 2013

    4 albums in and from the most fraudulent successful girl group, with big hits like ‘when love takes over’ and ‘motivation’ and still no platinum plaque, she’s so basic, clear definition of the struggle.

    Honey, seat your ass down somewhere and continue twerking for Simon Cowell in order to keep a job.

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

      how many platinum cds do YOU have?? i’ll wait…(paints nails)

    • Silly Rabit August 30, 2013

      The reach for responses are real!
      Fraudulent? Katy is the most manufactured basic pop star of them all, plus why would anyone listen to someone who thinks justin b. makes good music? You’re a hater. Take away all the singles and albums that your basic faves record company buys and their numbers would be the same as kelly’s or even lower.

  6. Truth August 30, 2013

    Good job Kelly!!!!

    Need I remind you if Kelly is a flop-

    She OUTSOLD Ciarra and Brandy. Pretty good for Destiny’s Child 2nd lead!

    • Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 30, 2013

      Ciara has got 2 platinum plaques, of which one of them is multi platinum, Brandy has got plenty of multi platinum plaques, where are Kelly’s??

      • Truth August 30, 2013

        You are talking the past, honey. Kelly has 2 solo Grammys and a Billboard top rnb song of the year from last era.

        Its about who remains relevant and selling. Past dont sell records today as you can see.

        You make no sense

        Brandy has been in the game since I was in pampers, she SUPPOSED to have more accolades as a solo act since the early 90s. I am a fan of hers too

      • Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 30, 2013

        But Kelly is only winning at twerking for Simon Cowell, no album on the Billboard 200 (Ciara is still charting and selling), no song on the Hot 100 (body party is still slaying) so who really has longevity? Most definitely not Kelly.

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

        FAKE TRUTH GTFOH STEALING MY NAME YOU B****!!! and yo momma a W****!

    • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

      do not ever put her name in the same sentence as Brandy. Brandy’s album sales, in just Japan, is 4+ million sold. That’s not including every country, just 1, just too make a point. that’s more than all of kelly’s albums combined in every country. Don’t make me add up every country and every cd for brandy. Do not put her name in the same sentence as brandy’s. EVER

      • thetruth August 30, 2013

        @ EVIL HIVE

        Do u hear yourself right now…U got sum nerves boo. Kelly is an icon! She is apart of one of the most successful girl groups their ever were. Her DC days shits on Brandys entire career alone boo! Kelly’s path has been different then all the other r&b girls in the industry bcuz she was in a group…. she wasn’t the lead star in the group; so the money and support wasn’t put behind her to push her projects. Thats what separates her from these women in the industry! They all started out solo! People said she would never even have any type of success outside of DC but she has! That and itself is danm iconic! This has never happened b4 in the history of music! Her career is just starting n she will only go further up the totem pole! As for Brandy u are bringing up OLD sales! That is what she did yrs ago when Kelly was in a GROUP saleing millions of records around the globe as well as touring and performing! Brandy hasn’t had half of the success Kelly has had!

      • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

        @Truth last time I checked Kelly’s carrer with DC was in the PAST, therefore, I can bring up Brandy’s past, when She was sittin on top the world. Don’t get mad, and I really don’t want to hear the tears about her not getting support. Save it. And if u want to b real about it, Michelle has the same amount of platinum cd’s as a solo artist than Kelly does. 0. and no honey, DC doesn’t s*** on Brandy’s carrer, when Brandy has sold over 55 mill world wide. Don’t compare the success Beyonce gave Kelly. DC is over, she hasn’t done jack shi* without her LEADER Beyonce.

  7. pat August 30, 2013

    I remember this is the song Beyoncé said Kelly sang when she met her and she was jealous cause Kelly could do the fast bridge part and she couldn’t….lol…cute

  8. Jboogie August 30, 2013

    Her first numbers were fairly decent though

    1. Monica 73k

    2. Kelly Rowland 68k

    3. Brandy 66k

    4. Ciarra 57k

    • credits August 31, 2013

      YEESSSSSS MONICA!!!! selling more than all these chicks! new life wasn’t all that though after the first week numbers but still standing is the most successful female album to come out in the last three years. Beyonce does pop and so does alicia, so i don’t want to hear it.

    • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

      Brandy 55+ million sold world wide. Never Say Never 25 million sold world wide. Kelly has no platinum placks, and people know her because of Beyonce. So do not compare Wine to diet coke. Leave Brandy and Monica out of this.

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

        Now THAT was an epic read honey!

      • Tessy September 6, 2013

        and Beyonce is also known because of Kelly and the other DC member……

  10. Truth August 30, 2013

    all them albums flopped

    but where are all the f*** who said 2-11 was goona slay New life now????

    but where are all the f*** who said Ciara would slay Talk a Good Game

    Yall n***** Talk Good S***-

    • Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 30, 2013

      Honey, Ciara is still charting and selling, Flop a good game has dropped out of the charts and will be outsold by Ciara in no time.

      • Truth August 30, 2013

        still waits……

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

        FAKE TRUTH GO SUCK ON A D*** LIKE IT’S A BOTTLE…U F**!!

    • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

      fact of the matter is, there were some dumb fans who hated on monica, but you can’t speak for every brandy fan, just like u can’t speak for every monica fan that hates also. only thing EVERY body had a problem with, brandy, ciara, beyonce, kelly, kcole fan, everyone, was there was nothing new about her album new life cd. same stale ass sound she’s been putting out for years, blah go have a seat in traffic. NOW DEAL, HIVE

  11. Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 30, 2013

    Ciara, two platinum plaques (of which one of them is multi platinum).

    Brandy, plenty of ,multi platinum plaques

    Monica, plenty of multi platinum plaques

    Kelly, twerking for Simon Cowell in order to keep a job.

    Your seat awaits you.

    • Truth August 30, 2013

      Kelly is the most relevant in sales, with a release date shared by the great Kanye and J Cole

      Mad props to the girl. When the other couldnt compete without heavy hitters on the ticket.

      What the f*** is a muliplatium plaque from the PAST when aint nobody really checkin for you like that no more. Huh, sweetie?

      As I shall recall, Kelly has 2 solo grammys for singing. Not one like Ciara for being in Missy’s music video.

      Grammys are the HIGHEST accolade in music, in case you didnt know

      • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

        sorry, but “TRUTH” you ain’t speaking a bit of truth. Brandy’s name needs to be left out of this mess of a flop. 55+ million cd’s sold. Kelly 0+ million sold. Ciara 3+ million sold, KCole 5+ million sold. go have a seat in traffic and stop!

      • Grande The Way August 30, 2013

        Taylor Swift has more Grammys than Mariah and Christina Aguilera. Need I say more? Kelly maybe selling now but to put her over Brandy is just ridiculous.

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

      I second that-

        glad you agree but i’m still finna drag yo ass for coming from me when i actually like your postings ‘SINCE UVE BEEN ON HERE’ which is after i was on here

      • Truth August 30, 2013

        Ill give you that- you didnt have to take it there with that (more refined mess). But all respect now-

      • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

        No i put ‘more refined’ bcus i used to have ‘truth(slayer of icki stans) and a bunch of other drag nicki phases but since she’s a nonfactor now since ive killed her career i put ‘more refined’. Ok ive retracked my claws. I love Kells to so let get these b****** up offa kells together hun. 😉

  13. thetruth August 30, 2013

    Kellys journey has been different from all the other rnb girls; they never came from a group where she was not the lead. Kelly does have a platinum album. Her album Simply deep now platinum! Whhat im really not understanding is y other female artists r being brought up??? Her singing a Whitney song has nuthin to do with them.

  14. Grande The Way August 30, 2013

    Not sure why Brandy’s name is being mentioned with the likes of Kelly Rowland and Ciara. Same with Monica. They are on another level, even if they don’t sell like they use to.

    Back on topic, Kelly did a great job with this cover. I’m impressed, never considered her a great singer.

    • HOWYOULIKEIT August 30, 2013

      I do agree with you. People are so pressed on this site.

  15. c August 30, 2013

    Love it Kelly, but why can’t you sing your own music like this?

  16. B-Day August 30, 2013

    Who’s buying Tamar Braxton’s album? I’m not buying the s***, I’m just asking.com

  17. kellystan August 30, 2013

    Never compare Kelly to Ciara and Brandy,they had advantage to start a career on a clean slate,Kelly didn’t.more over ciara was only successful because her career peaked at an era where looks mattered over the voice,Beyonce was lucky because she had both.unfortunately at that time Brandy and Kelly types of looks weren’t considered attractive.brandy earned her respect and sales.Kelly is still working on hers because and she is doing that very well for a person who wasn’t a lead singer in a group and wasn’t meant to be a solo star.

    In terms of unique vocals Brandy >>> Kelly

    In terms of vocal power Kelly >>> Brandy

    Ciara shouldn’t be mentioned when discussing people who can actually sing.still like her though

    • Truth August 30, 2013

      lol- nice!

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

      PREACH B**** PREEEEEEACH!!!!

  18. Kellystan August 30, 2013

    Not liking Kelly because you think she is lazy and she is not exploring her full potential is understandable, but hating Kelly and dragging her because she is talented and better than your fave is pathetic.

  19. mother monster August 30, 2013

    She sounds better than Ciara

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

      Who doesnt lol

  20. #Hive August 30, 2013

    Sounds better than Ciara did trying to sing Whitney.

  21. Tallb August 30, 2013

    not a fan but this was nice

  22. Anne August 30, 2013

    She was just being nice and complimentary. I would take her comment with a grain of salt. Beyond and Kelly have always looked out for each other.

  26. Bey Fan August 30, 2013

    Ummm yall need to count Destiny’s Child album sells and awards when you talk about Kelly’s numbers.

    And dont say she had an advantage… Besides Beyonce, what female r&b artist has had a successful solo career after being in a group. Hell what female of any genre?

    • alessandro August 30, 2013

      beyonce is talented and i love her but she had the help of her manager( her father) and the fact that she were dating with one of the most influential rappers…….

  27. Kellz August 30, 2013

    Kelly is better then Ciara Brandy& Monica so why are we comparing them?

    • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

      bit, how is selling under 2 million records outside the US better than anything the other two have achieved. Brandy has a CD that is in the top 100 for most records sold all time. Now monica and ciara, you can compare, but go do a google search on Brandy b4 u speak and sound ignorant. And yea I’m bring up Brandy’s past, cause the only relavent thing about Kelandriu is her past with DC. FLOP.DEAL.

  28. Lovebird (Prism – 10.22.13) August 30, 2013

    We don’t need to count DCs anything, 4 albums in and still cannot pass the 1 million SOKD mark. Not 2, not 3 but 4 albums in. Kelly is a basic ass flop wannabe star. She’s famous for licking Beyonce’s ass hairs, that’s it.

    • #DK August 30, 2013

      You stan for Justin beieber no one takes you serious sweetie.

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 30, 2013

      S*** u rep for icki so eat p**** u c*** licker! I dont like u

  29. #DK August 30, 2013

    Kelly is 1 3rd of a legendary group aint nothing legendary about Ciara & Monica

  30. kellystan August 30, 2013

    Yall can call Kelly a flop all you like,it doesn’t change the fact that Kelly’s underrated talent >>> your basic fave

  31. Yeah uh huh August 30, 2013

    You gotta love her. I can’t wait til she peaks.

    • Evil Hive August 30, 2013

      n**** she peaked in DC. you can’t keep flopping like a fish out of water, and talk about a peak. Unless Beyonce says she want’s a reunion, she will never, EVER, have a peak. STOP

  32. Yeah uh huh August 30, 2013

    And before anyone decides to call Kelly a flop, please remember that she was a part of destinys child…and yes those numbers count. Kelly’s career didn’t start with her Simply Deep album.

  33. Daniel Teflon August 30, 2013

    Well I Love Dc3 & any music Kelendria ~ Tenitra ~ Beyonce makes I’m a fan through & through

    She looks niiice.Yas at that body gurl.

  40. alessandro August 30, 2013

    all these b****** hating, calling kelly a flop when when they have to work their ass off to gain minimum wage

  41. Joey August 30, 2013

    Her body is amazing

  42. Evil Hive August 30, 2013

    stop comparing what this basic b**** did with DC. Cause last time I checked, Michelle, LaToya, and LaTavia, how ever u spell those no factors names, they get checks from being in the group too. Kelly was made by destiny’s child. Monica, Brandy made their selves with solo careers, and several, several platinum albums. Meanwhile, Flopandria is still searching for her platinum placks. Do not compare wine (brandy monica), to expired diet coke (kelly).

  43. Cazeliah August 30, 2013

    Those cakes though.. lol

  44. credits August 31, 2013

    Since everybody wants to name other singers…i’ll just throw keri hilson’s name in the mix. No Boys sold more than kelly, ciara and keyshia’s last album.

    And i’ll leave bran and mo out, they’re r&b icons!
