In reply to Mark111.

Why wouldn’t she pop off in her 30′s? Tamar did. Besides, Kelly popped off a long time ago, she was a founding member of Destiny’s Child. Her solo career, while milder than Beyonce’s, has still been solidified. Kelly is 4 albums strong and is currently working on her fifth despite being voluntarily label-less. Kelly does promote; but she’s never had the kind of backing that allows her to promote on a grand scale. When you consider the fact that Kelly is an industry vet, there’s no reason why she hasn’t been slated to perform on some of the biggest nights and stages in the world (ie. The Grammys, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, etc). Hell, even the Soul Train Awards. I know that Kelly’s fans want her to be a dominating force in music today, but maybe Kelly is not willing to do what is required for that type of fame. I’d say, given the career that she has had she’s done pretty well on her own. I for one own every K-Row album there is and I think her voice and artistry is amazing. If she continues to evolve as an artist and as a fabulous woman there’s no reason why she can’t “pop off” again at any age.
