It all got too much for R&B royal Kelly Rowland last night, when she broke down in tears during a performance of critically acclaimed song ‘Dirty Laundry’ in Washington, DC.
Performing for fans on the first night of her Dream backed ‘Lights Out’ Tour, Kelly received the full support of her audience as some of the song’s lyrics brought her to tears. Namely, lyrics that detail her relationship with childhood friend Beyonce.

it starts at the 4:13 mark
she broke right!!
It seemed more like a vocal breakdown to me. And why did the band stop playing during her emotional ‘breakdown’? I don’t know, seems planned & strategic in my opinion. I’m just being real.
Yea, I feel for Kelly…I think she’s a great person…people go through things…obviously not everyone because people like you never seem to understand…but many human being go through disturbing, painful things, and with our emotions…even the one who are able to sing and perform…even those humans break down in tears because nobody is perfect and plastic like we like to call each other….I hope you and the rest of your family of stupid wake up to….Reality…until then…. I think your just a really stupid b****.
Wow… My friend Lnny has just married to a handsome wealthy black man. They met through ~~~ MìxedŚìngle.Çoм ~ ~~A Serious interracial dating is an ideal platform for afro romance for black & white singles.

you know as i was sitting here reading through some of these comments I am just amazed at how ignorant some of you m************ is… Kelly is singing about sum random chick or sum random man… She is singing about her bestfriend someone who has been in her life since she was a child and the hardships that they experienced in their relationship… Why does one love these performers? What makes me love an entertainer is that I feel like i get a piece of their story their struggles and I can relate them to my own… This is the first time that kelly is being honest with us as her fans and you attack her… I commend kelly it takes balls to admit when you were down, that you have been abused, and it shows growth and maturity to be able to share those things and those events with your fans and the ones you love… She is growing into a new kind of artist… And sum of these b****** better take notice and watch out because this is kelly time… She is about to shine in a whole new light… I can’t wait for her album
I can barley hear anything? But whateva i bet she did great as she usually does.
loooveee!!!
this song is so sad
i know….breaks my heart
Love you kellz
yeah me too… Kelly is very talented…… I gotta say…. she got some real supportive fans in DC
bad bad bad!!
It must’ve taken her so much strength and courage JUST to sit there and sing it. The fact that she broke down in tears only adds to the rawness that is KELLY ROWLAND. She is REAL. It just goes to show, despite where she stands as a major success in the industry, that she is only HUMAN just like the rest of us and isn’t invincible to everything.
She is storming right now, ‘Talk A Good Game’ is going to be THAT album. She performed other new tracks off the album last night too: ‘Street Life’ and ‘This Is Love’…y’all get over to YouTube and listen to ‘This Is Love’…it’s AMAZING. June 18th cannot come any sooner. I NEED THIS ALBUM.
She has a great acting coach to fake that emotion.
HERE, you sound tired —> \_
I remember the Destiny Child days, when they all had the lime l lights. Then pow Queen B is the star..The rest of them on their..own must be so hurtful. Bey’ career is still strong even tho her albums are just ok..not chart toppers. I feel it time for a reunion of Destiny Child.. I would love to see them perform together again if just for once.
i don’t know how she does it….I woudn’t be able to do it tbh.
wow
OMG yesss. I was there she did a great job!
ohhh kelly have several seats,,, you need attention right now so you riding beyonce
Troll
you would know, takes one to know one
exactly!!!!!!!!
But your fav seeks attention all the time using CB. Every new album era he’s “surprising” being mentioned or featured on some sh*t song…
THANK YOU!
You must not understand Emotional and physical
abuse. She is not acting, she feeling what she is
singing.Before you criticize somebody you have
to walk in their shoes. I am some tired of this
Rihanna navy and Beyhive trying to shade
Kelly. When Rihanna went back to Chris
Brown several times after the incident,
what does that say about her.
CRY ME A F****** RIVER YOU WEAK B****!!!!
Wheres cerrors career though?????????Your fave is an untalented flop.
THE SAME PLACE RIHOODRATS VOCALS ARE
hahahaha… Cici Slays?? yet Cici can’t sing like this to save her life, sorry! NEXT!
B**** Ciara sings better than Kelly
LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAH no boo just no.
Well dayum!
Lol Yaaaaaaaas!!!!!
I’ll refrain from dragging Ciara just because her stans come from the back alleys of America and ignorant as f*ck…
please go have a seat somewhere. HERE –> \_
bc u ave no concence chi chi eat out ur brain
i am talkin @ cici slaaaaays
ALL YOUR ATTENTION GOES TO BEYONCE THAT’S WHY YOU ARE NO ONE OUTSIDE OF BEYONCE
ugh….i can’t with you…
@ Rihanna #1 FAN T
says the fan of the biggest attention w**** in the business right now and thrives on free publicity all the controversy in her life and career.
Why show that person attention why not comment on kelly… that person distracted you so much that you rather direct your comment towards him and not Kelly.
Biggest attention w****? Are the haters running out of s*** to say? Anyway you need to stop starting s*** cuz there’s a couple of things we could say about your fave but we wont cuz she nothing to do with nothing.
Who?
smh…..
Flake Tears
Flake Ass
This girl needs attention so bad.
She needs people to pay attention to her. She obviously needs buzz.
Because that’s only way that helps her album get sold.
Genius Move.
maybe you should learn how to spell fake before trying to use it !!
Chiiiiiiile.. Kelly girl…ummm AH HUN-NAY just stop okaaaaayyy! U doin too much
LMAO SHE’S WEAK SHE HAS NO BACK BONE
LIES TOLD ONLINE
I agree hunty!
She’s going to milk this…Sorry that she was abused, and that is no joke! This is a song that should never be sung live IJS * Shrugs*
She is gonna milk the whole i was abused thing though you are right on that one.
Like Rih milked hers?? Oh ok…
She’s just doin THE MOST hunty. Imma need her too just keep it cute and rest on dramatics okaaaaayyyy!
Right right!!! Kelly cut the s*** hunty, just release a banging track so you can compete with her, and stop the water workings durrrrrling…SMH
milk? What is there to milk? Y’all said you want her to be REAL. Well this is REALNESS for you.
I’m buying your album kelly. She’s very sensitive. I love her.
xoxo
don’t cryyyy baby imma buying your album!!
She will release a deluxe edition…One song will be called “I am beyonce’s b**** 4 life”…
stop that’s mean loool u so crazy phukin love it.
Deeeeeeeath
This is all an act. Why wait so long to release a song like this i guess anything for attention.
URGH YOU DELUSIONAL TWAT. She’s tried telling the domestic abuse story through previous singles and album tracks *see Rose Coloured Glasses’ and ‘Broken’/
All three ladies sang about this: watch Girl
Even Single ladies: disses men that let good women walk away; I believe their bond is strong and most of their fans miss this! Beyonce might not say much about Kelly and Michele or even Solange! But they have a tight family and this comes out through the pictures and songs they share. Their fans are caught up in a stupid rivalry.
Thank you , Bow Dow for education some of these
stupid people on this blog.
CiCi Slaaaaays
CTFU! You dirty b****! lol
I’m waiting for Solange to release her single about Beyonce….I heard she calling it ” Basement baby Life”
wtf lol
I’m not here for that comment but it made me bust out laughing LMAO.
Now come on Honey CHILD PLEASEEEEEEE!!!
Her & those shaky vocals need to go… shes the weakest singer from Destiny Child & i dont have time to feel sorry for her cry all you want boo idgaf
Um she is not the weakest voice Michell was.
sike Michelle can sang honey go look at their thru with it know love performance
Yeah i know she can sing Ive heard her sing I’m just saying how her voice was kinda weak. She has a beautiful personality though. I love Michelle however i felt her voice wasn’t as strong as Kellys.
Kellys voice isn’t strong . Anybody who knows voices and talent would know Michelle has a stronger voice then kelly but then again you stan for r**** so what would you know about vocals im pretty sure you think rih has a stronger voice then Whitney Houston aswell.
–__– *looks at screen name and leaves saying “not worth it”*
Joins u and walks out too for the same reason…then i fall flat back on the sidewalk dead with laughter chile. A michele stan just pops up honey i done SEEN IT ALL!! (strips n***, lights blunts and put on thongs and pops popcorn. Its finna get ughly honey)
@Truth @Enough
Both your replies killed me! Sitting here at an Internet cafe in Greece laughing to myself like a fool! Michelle Stan you know!?!?! Who knew they existed!
Kelly had the strongest voice in DC, she just wasn’t the strongest singer, that was Bey.
@Mathew LOL!!! We have all kinds of irrelevant’s with stans in this post i.e. Ja Rule, Cassie etc and I just can’t. Their career status’s are the ultimate shade and I can’t top that. Anyway, how’s Greece going?!
A “Cassie Lover” talking about weak vocals? LMAO!!!!!! *leaves the post*
@Enough Greece is going great! Ping me @MCharlerySmith and I’ll fill you in!
I just wasn’t expecting your response to the Michelle Stan. I can just imagine you looking at the screen with graveyard silence!!! Still laughing!
all y’all haters shut up None of us Was There when it happened & I believe Beyonce is a self-centered person telling Kelly to leave because she isn’t a good friend but this song Is The Real What happened in her life & nobody needs Beyonce & she not the Queen #Burn the beehive
rowlandStone!!!
agree wiyh u 100%
i am talkin @rowlandarmy
Kelly who did it?
Kelly gworl just stop ….
LMFOAOOOoooooo please tell me you not stanning for a back up dancer!!!!!
No honey im stanning for a gospel goddess.
@Honeychile i died too!!!
It’s like some feed the destiny child commercial…You want to send your coins in, but you need to see the commercial a few more times before you toss your coins in the fountain…
Kelly seems like she worships beyonce
Kelly is like that Eminem song ” STAN” she beyonces biggest fan she’s in charge of the incoming fan mail….She probably probably a coaster for beyonce drinks…. OK let me stop * dead stare*
“Coaster”!!! *dies again*
something is seriously wrong with you.
Kelly is like that Eminem song ” STAN” she beyonce biggest fan she’s in charge of the incoming fan mail….She probably probably a coaster for beyonce drinks…. OK let me stop ya’ll know i like kelly lol
Shots Fired @CiciSlays lmao you a mess
I don’t think she’s milking the situation. I don’t get that vibe from Kelly she always come across as genuine. I don’t like this song as a single choice though. It makes a great album song but as a single that’s pretty weird to me. This was a great raw performance though. Y’all bum ass bloggers need to chill how the f*** you have hate in your heart 25/8
flop song, & performance tbh
A JA RULE STAN????!!!!!! LMFAO!!!! WTF!!!! #ICANT
24/8???? B**** what planet your ass living on???
25/8*** As you stated….SMH
It’s a Mary J. Blige song you idiot…damn she says I need another hour and a day so I can love you 25/8! If you get off Ciara or Rihanna or whoever ass you rooting for you would know that!
She’s annoying
Then leave…what’s Ja Rule??
Maybe Michelle should consider it 😉
I wanna hug her im cryin right now
25/8 was intentional flaw ass n****. Exaggerated phrase of 24/7
Oh you mad?? Intentional but you acting like a N!cca b****…
This song shouldn’t be a single though.I’m Kelly’s fan and this is the first song from her that I can’t listen to,its so personal and direct.Im sorry Kelly for all you’ve been though but songs are supposed be be universal so that people will relate and thus feel comfortable listening to the song.I love the songs rawness and emotion but it’s just so uncomfortable to listen to.This song is gonna flop as a single.
Jay, what are you talking about this song is very
relateable to people. Al lot of people are going
threw certain situations, not all of them have
to do with abuse. But it is still painful. This
song is going to be one of her most
memorable song .
Can’t wait for that kanye album to drop…# Kellyrowland#Beyonce new s****
It’s funny how some say Kelly’s milking this situation yet itt’s the first time she’s ever addressed this in public. But then you have a certain “bad gal” milking CB’s balls every album era for headlines. Y’all ain’t tired of that???
Now i like Kelly and everything, and I kinda agree that this song shouldn’t be a single. And why did she make such a personal song about Beyonce. People are wanting you to be removed from her shadow as we love Beyonce as Beyonce and Kelly as Kelly. As far as I’m concerned that aspect of the song kinda killed the song’s credibility.
But that’s Kelly’s truth and at THAT time in her life, Beyonce aka her sister who she lived with and grew up with was becoming distance and she felt like she was fading. You can’t dictate her truth or what she should and shouldn’t share from it because you feel she “uses” Beyonce. It happened and she wanted to share the whole truth. Sorry you felt her being real killed song credibility…
You seemed to miss the point. I doubt that while and if she was getting the mess beat out of her that she was thinking about Beyonce and I damned sure know the alleged assailant wasn’t thinking about her. Please, people buy way too much into these songs. As far as I am concerned it’s just a song. A nice one that’s kinda creative in the way they placed Beyonce in it and ALL over it for the purposes of promotion and notoriety .
Obviously the song isn’t just about a particular situation in her life but a whole period hence her discussing Beyonce during that PERIOD of her life when she was in an abusive relationship. And your interpretation of the song is yours and you’re entitled to it. But trying to discredit her and make it seems as though the song has an ulterior motive other than her just speaking her truth is a stupid allegation to me. You weren’t in DC and neither did you grew up living with Beyonce, so if she was hurt by her sister who was plastered all over the media everyday and she had to see it, she has the right to speak on it, whether you feel it’s a gimmick or not…
I never said she should or shouldn’t speak on it. Timing also is on my side of the argument. The song mentions Beyonce several times through out, not just once or twice. Makes one wonder is the song about abuse or her supposed enviousness of Beyonce. And one issue is far more vain than the other as they shouldn’t even be a part of a double storyline. Notice that it didn’t mention any of the other members of the group(whether or not she was envious of them). Why, because they wouldn’t sell the song like Beyonce’s likeness would. And to think Kelly once stated that she could never be jealous of Beyonce as they are “sisters”. Well either she was lying then or now. Which one, you pick. Also,not to mention she’s singing in 1st person, but the song was written by The Dream.
I’m sorry but your argument is just plain f*ckin ridiculous. You’re now trying to state when someone should be ready to tell their personal story that’s close to their heart and how much of the story they should tell. Kelly can wait 20+ years if she wants to to sing about this. If Beyonce is a huge part of that story, so the f*ck what?? DC was a huge part of her LIFE! ANd she obviously talks more about Beyonce because THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL DC GIRLS AND THE FIRST TWO IN THE GROUP! They were best friends before the group and before they met anyone else. You really have no argument just mere opinion and dislike for her choice to sing her story that so happens to include Beyonce (in the second hook only mind you). And again, Kelly has every right to sing about whatever her situation is in life, whether it’s a COMPLETE song about Beyonce or not. This song wasn’t the case as you’re trying to make it out to be but if she CHOOSES to do so, so be it!
When I said timing, I wasn’t talking about how long ago. I was talking about while trying to sell a new album that comes out in under a month. Which is fine because at least she’s telling her business and not someone else’s to believe every wod of it is just naive. And for Christ’s sake the song starts off with “while my sister was on stage” and then mention’s Beyonce’s likeness throughout the entire song. You can’t be that gullible to believe every word of this song. It wasn’t even written by Kelly and you know damn well that they used Beyonce’s likeness simply for the shock value. But arguing with these one-sided delusional stans on this site is like talking to a rock. I’m not saying that my opinion is 100% correct, but i’d bet you that if Beyonce wasn’t BEYONCE then this supposed autobiographical song would be written much differently. And yes, I’m sure I’m much more closer to Kelly than you would think.
But here you are acting as if you were the one who abused Kelly cause you KNOW EVERYTHING and if the song is true or not. SO the f*ck what she didn’t actually write it. Does that mean she didn’t tell the dream her situation and told him what she wanted in the song?? You sound stupid right now. “If she didn’t writ fit, it can’t be true.” Oh ok….Beyonce wrote how many songs?? Yet they’re about HER LIFE. Why? Because she tells the writers her story and they write a song about it! Why you’re arguing about this is a good question because again YOU WEREN’T THERE! I don’t care if you THINK you’re close to her or not, if you’re not Beyonce, Kelly or her abuser, you should sit. The songs out, it’s doing great, she released it as a single (so what if it’s BEFORE the album), don’t listen to it if you don’t like it. It’s got people talking about her story and interested in her new album, JOB WELL DONE KELLY!!! I WANNA HEAR MORE!!!
Dufus, I know how it goes when someone meets with the writer and tells them about a situation but still SHe didn’t write it so those are not her words nor her creativity so she’s still singing someone else’s words.. I never said I didn’t like the song and……………never mind. You’re too simpleminded for my brain’s capacity for me to argue with you. Good day!
Oh ok…A med student is “simpleminded…” Because you’re being checked on your invalid argument…..
P.S. “You’re too simpleminded for my brain’s capacity for me to argue with you.” Please reread your bullish*t and tell me who’s the dumb one….#ByeBitch
A med student means nothing. There are many who have never made it to practice. My argument is valid and has already been raised by multiple sources. Usually by people who learn to think for themselves and are not too naive to believe everything someone says to be gospel. Even if they are your favorite entertainer. I love Kelly I do, but I stand by my opinion of the song. It’s ok, but it’s more of a album seller than an autobiographical account. And it’s been damn near 10 years. In an authentic account if Beyonce had anything to do with the song, it would’ve only been the part where she claims Beyonce told her to get out. But no, in the song Beyonce is mentioned from the first line to the last. If you don’t understand my stance, fine. Stay blind and continue to allow entertainers to manipulate you and your mind. It’s called entertainment for a reason. I’m sure you also believe everything about these “reality” shows are real too. lol.
LOL!!! A med student means nothing???!!!! You keep showing ignorance. But whatever. Good for you on “thinking for yourself”….. *rolls eyes*
I love this song because it seemed Kelly only sings about s**, but here she’s opening up her heart for the whole world and I believe the song is one of the best songs she’s ever done.
As for the hate, I cannot understand why Beyonce fans choose to hate on Kelly, when these two clearly adore one another (The beyhive is made up of ignorant fools)
A Ciara and Rihanna fan should NEVER mock anyone’s singing abilities when those two goats can’t even hit half a note.
I am in no way a Kelly Rowland fan but I will be buying Talk A Good Game because the stuff I’ve heard so far has blown me away and at the end of the day it should be about the music
I’m like Beyonce and I don’t hate Kelly. I’ve always respected her hustle and that fact that she’s been through a lot. This song is heartbreaking…
*I like Beyonce
Haha very well said! I’m a Kelly fan! but love Beyonce and Michelle; and Rihanna! lol I appreciate all the women…no hate here!
i like the song not in love with it..but it looks like radio is loving it since it haven’t been out a week and it’s already in top 40 on billboard R&B charts
Ugh…This song gets to me…
WE LOVE YOU KELLY!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE U KELLY LOVE THIS YES MAM!
