When not helping newcomers chase their destiny, Kelly Rowland has carved out quite the solo career of her own comprised of R&B bops.
Today we salute one of the star’s most underrated gems ‘Comeback’ in this week’s From The Vault.
Featured on the diva’s 2007 sophomore effort ‘Ms. Kelly’, Scott Storch and Pooh Bear produced the track with Rowland lending a helping hand with the lyrics.
Though lined-up to follow the album’s lead single ‘Like This’, it was scrapped and replaced by global smash ‘Work (Put It In).’
Still a visual was shot and quietly surfaced online.
Lensed by Philip Andelman, the visual didn’t quite capture the ferociousness of the song – but made a commendable attempt.
Oozing all sorts of swagu, Rowland showcased arresting sass and proved herself a magnetising performer. Our only gripe is the glaring lack of “proper” choreography, which for a dance jam like this is both criminal and a clear case of corner-cutting.
The obvious politics at play in Kelly’s career at the time continues to irk us til this day – especially lack of push for ‘Comeback.’ It fit like a glove into the mix of what was musically dominating at the time (ie: Justin Timberlake’s ‘My Love’) and presented her as the solo force she is. Again, irksome.
That said, with a new album on the way, we hope this child of Destiny continues to up the ante on the performance front. Because in today’s visual age, artists have become more empowered than ever to swing the pendulum in their favour by delivering captivating output that can’t be denied.
Ready when you are, Kelly.
She’s so likeable but the thing is, once she has a top 20 hit, she doesn’t build on that momentum and let’s her era’s die out with its lead single
I hate myself for agreeing with you, but…kiii, I see no lies
No lies at all. Thats still my girl though.
I still feel that Kelly was pushed for 2006, but LeToya came out of nowhere with a hit and a #1 album. So they pushed Kelly back too far. Because wasn’t Bad Habbit suppose to be the first single? I feel in 2002 they did push Kelly and the other girl, but in 2006 and 2007, DC was over and Matt did not care about any of them, it was all Beyonce. Funny, now that Beyonce doesn’t have them to stand on (or sh1t on), her career been pretty blah lately. I mean the last album lasted a week.
So basically you came in here to find another reason to bring up Beyonce huh? Your obsession with her is pretty evident Hun.!
I’m talking about kelly’s fail solo run and the reason why it didn’t turn out.
@mark sure girl, sure. Whatever you say ?
So move along. Just like how the GP did with that Lemon Wedge album. 🙂
@Cough Cough, he’s one of the girls now sis. It’s in his contract to be messy with an optional clause to skip fleeting on Sunday’s to prepare his body for the LordT, so he can be DELIVERERRRDDDTTTT
DEATH!!!!
@LukhasChatturbateStan, move along? Like you moved your coins to his bank account to get a private show? Oh.
Her career has been “blah” yet she’s embarking on what will end up being her highest grossing tour to date almost two decades into her career. Her career is “blah” but she just released her most critically acclaimed album thus far that will most likely move an upward figure of 2 million copies in the U.S. soon. Her career is “blah” but she’s still one of THE MOST TALKED ABOUT and most famous celebrities in the world, period. I think you must be referring to someone else.
READ HENNY!REAAAD
Oop! You know you spilling too much lies and hate when you got the unbiased and nicest commenters coming for you! Yas I live for the Well Grounded commenters giving lashings!!! (GULPS FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORGANIC LEMONADE WITH ORGANIC HONEY ??)
Damn! I thought this was Kelly’s post? Yoncé got these peasants SHOOK ???!!
I wouldn’t call the Lukhas Stan a peasant, because he’s less than that. Maybe the word “vagabond” would fit him better sis
The girl is insanely gorgeous, has a pretty voice and is charismatic but it’s just her lack of strong material, motivation (no pun intended, lol) and investment by her label that have left her to just coast in the industry. I had really high hopes that the Ms. Kelly album would catapult her to solo super stardom but things didn’t pan out the way I would have expected. Oh well, I’ll always have a soft spot for Kelly. DC was everything growing up 🙂
Lmao “so move along. Just like the GP did with that lemon wedge album.” Kiii the lies these dumpster divers tell to contemplate that #460 debut and 384k 4 month sales ???! If havng the #1 album in 41 countries after 3 weeks is moving on. What happened to AntiSuccess. I seem to recall it frihfalling off of Worldwide Itunes charts in SECONDS ??????!!!
I seem to recall it Free Falling faster than Aaliyah’s plane on Spirt Airlines. Somebody rocked that Pilot’s Boat the Wrong Way
SCREAMING!!! I CAN’T WITH YOU!!! I still haven’t recovered from when you told @Thot2Ashes Stan “You’re an even bigger flop than the pilot that flew your fav into oblivion!” ?????????
@Hailbeysus KIIII! The Aaliyah/WhatNow/ElusiveLamb is seaaauxxxx BOTHEREDT. I get my LIFE from shading ha!
Kiii it stays trying it only to fail every single damn time!
YaaassssUHHHH! Dragggg Ha!Gatha Ha @HailBeysussssssuhhhh
@RihNavy
What is Chatturbate?
Hey sissssss! And this website that our good girlfriend Mark is a Frequent Flyer for. He works 9-5 just to keep LUKHAS alive. Visit Chatturbate.com and let’s keep the conversation going ?????
You got to be kidding me, that’s a prostitution site, I don’t believe it, Mark is straight.
Nope! You betta believe it! When you click Marks TGJ username his Graviator account is linked to his Twitter account. Mark claims the pest trolled him with a fake account. But when @Annalise asked him to change his Avi to prove the Hive wrong, he said the Hive hacked him KIII!!!!!
I don’t know, he doesn’t seem the type of person who does that, but hey I’m not judging, it just that that wasn’t the image that I had of him.
@S****** Its Marsha’s guilty pleasure site! Luhkas is his fav! Marsha’s been a bad boy! (Spank) ohhhh!

I refuse to believe it, I just can’t, that Lukhas guy isn’t even attractive.
@s******
It wasn’t Mark, the hive + particularly Rihnavy trolled him
The fat b**** is tired and also trolled under Mark and I’s username last year
Who cares what you refuse to believe? LOL.
He was CLOCKED! End of story.
Well let me throw in my 2 pence of what went wrong with his roll out! I thought Like this was A PERFECT 1st choice! GREAT way to start the album then the BET awards performance was great promo (kelly could’ve used some work on that vocal though) bumthe issue was the single choices, while the international single was WORK, The stateside single they chose to go with was GHETTO! GHETTO?! I was Pisssed!! they should have dropped ” still in love with my ex” THE REMIX VERSION with yung texxus that everyone loves, or ‘comeback” with proper choreography, but who in gods name thought ghetto was gonna be the single? and that awful video!!! UUGH, def singles choice F’d up that album
Lsndbsbsksvwjswv LMAOOOO! Not “Marsha’s been a bad boy! (Spank) ohhhh!”
BYE HAILBEYSUS!!! I’M THREW ???????????

OMG…talk about a blast from the past. I loved this song so much and still do. It’s a shame that the Ms. Kelly era never really took off because the album had some very nice tunes.
The hive+ is pure trash making fun of someone’s tragic death and on Mother’s day. Obviously some depressed f*** who didnt even know their crack head mother’s.
Anyways Kelly makes real music not hood trap garbage, i enjoyed Talk a good game
Trying to act entitled yet you are you in a serious disease as an insult.
You are using a serious disease*
Kiii these peasants can desperately try to defend the CLOSETED SELF CONTRADICTING HATING FA.G.G, but the fact remains @Marsha posted a gay link in the mist of an argument with the Hive. If @RihNavy trolled him how could he have linked @Marsha’s twitter account to his Graviator account? Also why is @Marsha still using that account if it’s been ‘hacked’ as he claims. Oh thats right because the self hating fa gg ot!! IS A LIAR AND WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED!! MORE KUMMM ON HIS FACE ????? ???!!!

More receipts

I’ve been accused for trolling as Taylor Tori Azalea but the receipts are the, the Career Ender that was clocked had no gravatar and it was Taylor Tori Azalea amd he confessed yo doing it
.
Now over to you Marikos prove us all wrong!
.
the lashings won’t go away until you come out clean , remember when you had fun with Slay_Hive’s hair line drag? now the tables have turned bruh
.
glorified Internet male-ho
@ShítStain STAWP WITH THESE LAME EXCUSES!!!!! So your telling me one of the Hive members has your cell phone number??? Because you are required by Gravatar and Twitter to verify you Twitter account by Phone Number kiii!!! Also why are you still using an account that has been compromised if you’re still using that excuse LOLOLOL!!!!
exactly!! @SkidMark watermarked his Thøtliyah avi specifically so no-one could troll him. So again, it’s takes like 10 seconds to change his gravatar and prove us all wrong, but he’s not man enough to do that!
Yas!!! You betta get up in here and give some lashings!!! I can’t @SkidMark being dragged up and down the concrete pavement ????!!! He’s reading these comments fuming trying desperately to come up with a plan to deflect!!
KIIII he really brought on himself with all of the spiteful bítchy things he had to say about gays last year, despite the fact that he’s the biggest queèr on here! Jokes on him!
You guys are so desperate to bring King Mark down. Hacking his account is a new low for you bottom feeders.
ANYWAYS!! @HailBeysus boo, keep scalping these faágz with RECEIPTS! Can’t argue with facts!
Yas! Im living for Marsha Scrambling to find answers LOLOLOL
Wait mark this can’t be true
the greatest betrayal since Jesus-Judas has to be between Mark-His fingers-and -forgetful mind!
Mark just prove them wrong.
AnTEAways!! Comeback was one of the stronger album cuts from Ms Kelly but the video treatment was not right for the song. Flashback was one of Kelly’s best songs to date, and it’s a crime this wasn’t released instead
http://youtu.be/v4oRizDMuww
where’s LB, Centurion and Keei qween do defend their leader?
Kii @VagisalCream2.0 playing Mansial In distress and having a Meltdown of @Marsha’s self exposure!! What’s wrong sis? No more late night secret bussie meets? ???
You thots want Mark to be gay so bad.
Well, if the stiletto fits lol
The song isn’t that bad and pretty good old song
