Rowland Ready To ‘Shake Them Haters Off’ On New Single

Published: Thursday 27th May 2010 by Sam

In somewhat of a surprising move, Kelly Rowland looks set to release BOTH ‘Commander’ and new cut ‘Shake Them Haters Off’ as the lead singles from her forthcoming album in the US. Produced by Stargate and penned by Ne-Yo, the song is quite the departure from the divafied scorcher that is ‘Commander’. Instead, it boasts an uplifting and empowering sentiment over a breezy mid-tempo beat.

Though admittedly far from my favourite cut from her new material, from a US radio standpoint, selecting this as a complimentary single to ‘Commander’ makes a lot of sense. For, in this era of music, it’s about shooting as many bullets and seeing what sticks (just ask Usher / ‘OMG’, ‘Lil’ Freak’, ‘Papers’ = hit album).

Take a listen below…

Hit or Miss?

  8. Trevor May 27, 2010

    This song is uplifting and so cheerful. It’ll do well.

  9. Anon May 27, 2010

    She should’ve kept this one hidden….deep down….and far away. Not good at all. Ne-Yo is starting to worry me. His songs are all lazy and uninspired lately.

  10. ADE May 27, 2010

    UGH I don’t like this at all

  11. justin_Sofly May 27, 2010

    I’m not likely this one i hope she changes her mind on this being a single, i think commander and and a urban song should have been the way to go foe the us dual singles, but you never know like sam said usher had “Papers” “Lil Freak” “There Goes My Baby” “OMG” all out before his album hit store and it did weel so lets wait and see Keri Hilson had like 5 singles release before her so yeah shoot until u get some hit. GO TEAM KELLY

  12. Stoney-Brie May 27, 2010

    ADE >>>HATERS R ALEGIC TO THIS SOUND I UNDERSTAND IT’S KILLIN U!!!! LMAO THIS IS GOIN 2 BE SO FUNNY…HATERS KEEP LOOKIN 4 THAT REASON TO HATE! YA’LL NEVER TAKE NO VOCATION ANYWAYS.. GET ON YOUR JOBS/SHIFTS! HAHAHAHAH

  13. Stoney-Brie May 27, 2010

    ALLERGIC*

  14. Bbop May 27, 2010

    Umm Kelly you are not the Destiny’s child alum people hate on. In fact people are always saying I want Kelly to make it because they hate she who shall not be named. I don’t think you have haters just people who dislike your music and style. There is a difference.

  15. X ,Y and Crazeee! May 27, 2010

    well she cant shake this hater off since she is a wack back up singer tryin to stay relevant and failing!!!

  16. Yours Truely May 27, 2010

    If this is the BEST you could come up with for a 2nd single…than its official I won’t be buying this album this sounds more like a 3rd or 4th single choice heck even a rerelease. You mean to tell me that your 1st single is tanking and this is the BEST you could follow up with to impact the charts and make a comeback with?! And you STILL have not released a SINGLE music video yet? Sorry Kelly I LOVED your “Miss Kelly” album I wish you better luck next time with my coins

  17. Aaron May 27, 2010

    im really feeling this. Go Kelly !!!!!!!!! With this, commander & The sound (on & on) this is shaping up to be an amazing album !!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. Yours Truely May 27, 2010

    Kelly would have a better idea to me would be making the urban version of commander a single and title it commander part 2. This song right here don’t even need to be on the album period to fill space. This needs to be treated as it is a LEAK

  19. Wait Just A Burger Flippin’ Second?! May 27, 2010

    This was wonderful news. We need something uplifting, colorful and full of life. I am so sick and tired of these artist jumping on this “Dark”, “Depressing”, “Edgy” bandwagon. So hearing this kind of music will be a breath of fresh air.

    Go Miss Kelly! Your time has come 😀

  20. BeysBetter May 27, 2010

    This sounds a hot ass child-hood mess. It sounds like somethong from YO GABBA GABBA. Wthell is going on? HOW HARDIS IT FOR HER RECORD A URBAN CLUB BANGING SMASH??? Like seriously….she needs to work with the DREAM…cuz these songs are a MESS

  21. Shamanai May 27, 2010

    I was skeptical at first, but as the song continued a smile grew on my face…. i can do without the rap talk breakdown…. awesome hook!!! remove the breakdown and i can see a hit otherwise leave it as an album track

  22. BDaBoss May 27, 2010

    I don’t think that urban/pop radio stations will play this. I’m beginning to get worried. Now don’t get me wrong…I like the song but I think people in the states want to hear her belt like on WLTO and “Commander.” This is almost too safe kinda like “Like This.” We’ll see how this turns out though. She has something to prove in the states and I don’t think this will help.

  23. Alex May 27, 2010

    the beat is too upbeat for the song…I dont like.

  24. Anne May 27, 2010

    Along with the 3 you named (‘OMG’, ‘Lil’ Freak’, ‘Papers’), Usher also released ‘Daddy’ and ‘There Goes My Baby.’ Talk about shooting as many bullets as possible to see what sticks. ‘There Goes My Baby’ is my personal fav (love that song). I haven’t listened to the new Kelly song, I’ll check it out later. I hope it’s better than ‘Commander’.

  25. Khalil May 27, 2010

    So at first when I heard this song on another sight last week I was like ummmm…but you know what, its catchy. While I love “Commander” I am also starting to dig this one. “Shaking Haters Off ” is a nice lil summer, sound a lil pop though. If they get an urban mix for this both markets will eat it up. Lets face it. She has been hated, it happens all the time. Someone on here just called her a back up singer…You know what #TEAMKELLY will be in full effect just like we were for #TEAM MONICA. Good music and great artist deserve success this year!

  26. Javier May 27, 2010

    I think this is just what she needed to have the haters talking keep doing ya job lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. stan May 27, 2010

    bad sign.

  28. Gary May 27, 2010

    I’m HUGELY impress of her right now , i wasn’t realy exited hearing her new material ( even tho Commander is AWESOME and i loooove it so bad ) , it was missing something … The Rn’b that i love the smoothness that i love , that QUALITY music that i LOVE . And with this AMAZING song she got me feenin’ ! I JUST LOVE IT , extremly catchy and if this doesn’t succeed … No let me stop … IT WILL SUCCEED !!

  29. PLAIN AND SIMPLE May 27, 2010

    LOVE IT! GO KELLY GO

  30. Ghetto Fab May 27, 2010

    Some of you all have a lot of nerve to be judging her single. With the s*** that goes number one in America she could have chose anything she wanted. It’s probably the most silly song on the album but let’s face it, You Americans love that s***. This is a country where Kesha’s non talented ass and Justin Beiber are running the airwaves so SIT DOWN Haters!

    This song sounds really good. It’s very catchy and i’m sure people will love it. It’s exactly what she needed. It’s so bubbly. I can see a video where she is very sassy.

    As for you idiots that keep complaining about Urban. Where the hell were you idiots when Ms. Kelly came out? You fuckers have some damn nerve requesting anything from Kelly especially when I’m sure most of you didn’t go buy her album. She’s doing what makes her happy and that’s all that should matter. If you were only going to buy the album because of it being “Urban” than your ass was never really a true Kelly fan to begin with so BYE GIRL FLY GIRL!

  31. COMMANDER May 27, 2010

    Kelly really needs a song like this to shake the HATERS OFF. GO KELLY LOVE YOU KELLY!!!!!!!

  32. Healthy Black Queens May 27, 2010

    It’s a nice song but I wouldn’t have chosen it as a single. I think she should go with something else because there seems to be a mostly negative reaction on the blogs I’ve seen. Then again, these are the same people who didn’t buy her last album so who cares what they really think?

  33. THE_r0Ck May 27, 2010

    I like. Go head Kelly!!!

  34. SEAN2010 May 27, 2010

    I LOOOOVVVVVE THIS SONG. LOL ITS FUN YET SPEAK TRUTHS ABOUT THE HATERS.LOL

    DEAD@ THE HATERS GETTING OFFENDED.

  35. mike May 27, 2010

    She’s listening to the BLOGS….

    She needs to release good music instead of releasing s*** adressing HATAS..

    THIS SONG SUCKS!!

    On and On is ten times better!!!

  36. RudeBoii May 27, 2010

    its a cool song, just a little too safe for me vocally I wanna hear more belting, runs, the song has a great hook, I just want more from Kelly vocally.(in this song)

    Minus the little rap section at the end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Team Kelly is working and no doubt we will see and hear a few more videos and singles before the album drops in September.

  37. Lyric “Commander” Lee May 27, 2010

    i have to admit when i first heard the song i was like damn another leak but when i found out that it is actually really catchy – i heard it first and i was like its okay but as i blast it out my whip i find myself loving it – its very catchy and bubbly which is exactly who ms kelly is – she is a fierce commander but she also is a bubbly spirit and this sond personifies that – i already see the video kinda like what britney spears did with overprotected – kinda like a play on that – whats more important is the big idference between commander and this track which is what i love too – is shows how versatile she is and i can see alotta ppl singing along to this song – also see it in movies – a nice summer anthem thats appropriate and could be played anywhere – a delcious slice of urban dance pop – it sounds like a neyo song too with the backing tracks – ms kelly – u better work!! get that promo – HER TEAM IS THE BIZNESS – WORK!!!!!

  38. Christian May 27, 2010

    Don’t like it

  39. Leema May 27, 2010

    This song is so wack! WTF Childish, old ass phrase, and lacks creativitiy. Sorry, but this will not cut it. She gotta come better than this. With Katy Perry, Xtina, Justin Beiber and the rest of the competition out right now, she’ll be lucky if this song get into the Top 40.

  40. BDaBoss May 27, 2010

    To back up my earlier comments and just to let people know, I’ve bought both the Simply Deep and Ms. Kelly Albums on their release dates. I not only buy her music but I also support the urban and the dance music that she makes. The only reason why I’m addressing the urban issue is because one of her goals is to find a stronger place in the US market. I could be wrong, but I doubt that this song alone will do the trick (I like the song btw). I agree with some previous posters that the track needs more runs and etc. This is just too safe. She’s Kelly from Destiny’s Child which is a group known for powerhouse and soft vocals, and I think that America is ready for her to show her range because we all know that she can do it. “Commander and WLTO” displays what the US wants to her but in a more urban/pop sound.

  41. Bbop May 27, 2010

    Kelly stans your girls single is not on the charts go do your job.

  42. Nikki May 27, 2010

    The song is ok but Kelly can do much better. In more to break in the urban market Kelly need a way better single. Maybe Kelly is going with something safe just to keep the buzz but this may or may not work.

  43. Anne May 27, 2010

    I’m torn, kept going back and forth during the song; didn’t like the beginning b/c I thought she started off kinda on the weak side vocally or the chorus was flat. I started thinking it was pretty good somewhere during the middle but she lost me again with the rap thing (maybe she should have let someone else do the rap part). Anyway, overall I guess I need to hear it a few more times before I’ll know if it will grow on me.

  44. Tristo07 May 27, 2010

    HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO NON NO NO NON NO NONO!!!!!!!!!!

    JUST BUST OUT WITH COMMANDER WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!! YO TEAM FING UP ALREADY!!! DARNIT MS KELLY…YOU KNOW HOW TO KILL A BUZZ…THIS SUCKS AND YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU…PRAY FOR THE BEST

  45. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 27, 2010

    I THINK ALL THE SINGERS WHO MAKE SONGS JUST FOR HATER ARE THE ONES WHO SEND THE MOST TIME WORRYING ABOUT THE HATERS AND THEY FEEL IF THEY MAKE A SONG DISSING THEM IT WILL MAKE THEM STOP HATING KELLY THIS SONG WILL ONLY MAKE YOUR HATERS HATE EVEN MORE CAUSE A HATER IS A HATER AND THEY KNOW HOW TO DO THEY’RE JOB SO WHY EVEN TALK ABOUT IT

  46. coy May 27, 2010

    ATTENTION;!!! BEYONCE VS. WORLD along with all the haters commenting with their backhanded comments saying no one is hating on kelly: please go sit your A**ES down somewhere! you damn well know that song is for yA’LL!!

    I for one (a fan) have had this on repeat for 3 days now!! kelly you can count me for 3 copies of your album.. I still wish you were releasing it sooner!

  47. E May 27, 2010

    love kelly!!!

  48. Crystal May 27, 2010

    Lol @ all the comments.
    I dunno about the song, its okay but I can’t call it a hit. The lyrics are catchy and uplifting but she sings it with a depressed tone, like the “haters” really bringing her down.

  49. Gucci May 27, 2010

    she’s trying way too hard on this song sweetie sorry

  50. evening May 27, 2010

    Can they stop with the ‘hater’ songs already? It’s getting retarded

  53. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 27, 2010

    @COY AM NOT HATING ON KELLY FIRST OF ALL WHAT TO HATE ON I LOVE COMMANDER BUT I STILL CAN’T FIND IT ON THE BILLBOARDS THE ONLY HIT SHE HAS IS WHEN LOVE TAKE OVER BUT YA’LL GOT THE GUTS TO COMPARE HER TO BEYONCE KNOWING SHE WILL ALWAY BE F****** CRUSH CALL ME A HATER BUT THAT WON’T BOOST HER SELLS I JUST WAS SAYING I DON’T LIKE WHEN PEOPLE MAKE SONGS DISSING HATERS BECAUSE I FEEL THEY SECRETLY MAKE THE SONGS TO CONVINCE THE HATERS TO STOP HATING BY TRYING TO MAKE THEM FEEL BAD

  54. Dave May 27, 2010

    It’s ok, I don’t think it should compliment “Commander”, it seems like a intro, or album filler. or something she should use as a intro back into the game, not really a buzz single, but something like Ciara did with “U Got Me.” If it showed her vocals off more, sure. & it def gives me one of Neyo’s old songs, like Miss Independent or So Sick, I forgot the name of that song. The beat is recycled, love Kelly though

  55. Javier May 27, 2010

    Why can’t. They let Kelly be great ….Kells has hits on her hands, stfu if u don’t like why do u feel the need to comment. Explain that to me someone. … I understand its a blog but damn some of y’all sound stupid and miserable stay unhappy cuz kellz is doing the damn thing and your negativity is not needed here we love kellz here go too mediatakeout with the other miserable peeps, and post how much u don’t like something, or how miserable u are….damn

  56. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 27, 2010

    SHUT THE F*** UP LET THE NUMBERS TALK

  57. schmacher07 May 27, 2010

    This is not single worthy. This song is missing something….maybe some bass. Oh come on Kelly!!!

  58. Kelly Fan May 27, 2010

    KELLY NOOOOO…. PLLLZZZ DO NOT RELEASE “SHAKE THEM HATERS OFF”! RELEASE THE URBAN VERSION OF COMMANDER! U R MESSING UP! U DON’T NEED TWO SINGLES!

  59. No Ma’am May 27, 2010

    It’s OK, I can understand why someone would Yay this (or Nay this). But really If she thought commander wouldnt stand a chance in America, this right here wont have a chance in hell. It sounds like a Survivor reject to me. What happened to Smooches??

  60. No Ma’am May 27, 2010

    & really Kelly doesnt even have “haters”. Who does She think she is? Beyonce, Rihanna?, Shes getting way ahead of her self if she thinks she already has Haters, She hasnt won that Award yet…

  61. BDaBoss May 27, 2010

    @Beyonce vs World, Commander has been on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play for two weeks now. Debuted at 36 last week and jumped to 18 this week. I’ve been trying to get in touch with someone about reconsidering this “Shake the Haters Off” song as the US single.

  62. Muni May 27, 2010

    If “Tik Tok” can reach to #1 why can’t this song reach to number 1. There are some HATERS here , these are some of them that she is talking about, can you guys back off and disappear. KELLY doesn’t need you, GO sleep somewhere and never wake up!!!!. GO KELLY

  63. Carlos May 27, 2010

    Sou do Brazil e tenho certeza que este hit será um dos melhores da carreira dela torço muito por ela a Kelly Rowland merece muito ela esta crescendo muito tbm…

    Parabéns os brasileiros adoram vc …

  64. Muni May 27, 2010

    At least Kelly doesn’t go around with DIVA attitude, KELLY WILL WIN. She doesn’t need you “HATERS”. LOVE YOU KELLY, GO TEAMKELLY WE WILL NOT LET KELLY DON’T AGAIN, PLEASE DON’T LET AN IMENSE TALENT BEEN WASHED IN THE RAIN PLEASE!!!!!!

  65. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 27, 2010

    KELLY IS TALENTED BUT U GUYS ASK LIKE SHE HAS A MARIAH 1990’S VOICE JANET DANCE ABILITY AND NE-YO WRITING SKILLS NOW FANTASIA HAS A AMAZING VOICE BUT U GUYS ACT LIKE KELLY IS JUST SUPER SUPER TALENTED SHES NOT THE ONLY REASON SOME OF U ARE ROOTONG FOR IS BECAUSE U FEEL BEY DID HER WRONG

  66. Tristo07 May 27, 2010

  67. BEYONCE VS. WORLD May 27, 2010

    AND I DON’T THINK IT’S A GOOD THING TO RELEASE AS MANY SINGLES AS USHER DID BEFORE A ALBUM COMES OUT

  68. DANBOFFICIAL May 27, 2010

    -DANBOFFICIAL- NO HATE- JUST TRUTH-OUT-

  69. loso May 28, 2010

    I like the song very much I think radio will catch on to this fast. So many songs have went #1 that are b******* in America and everybody knows it and this is not the only song that Kelly is releasing there is another one coming shortly according to ger team which will probably be Commander Pt. 2.

    @Beyonce vs World you are totally entitled to your opinion but Beyonce would not be happy about how you try and dog her sister Kelly out like you do. I am not a fan of Kelly because of what I think about Bee I love Kelly because she has made music that has helped me get through things in my life. She has been an inspiration to me. Please stop throwing up sales because once again if you only like Bee for her sales then you are stanning for an artist for the wrong reason. You should love be just for what her music means to you not how much she sells.

    I know all the Kelly fans love Kelly because she loves us and she shows us that she loves us. Sorry I just had to get that off my chest because all this fighting and hating on this site is sad when Kelly is just trying to make music to help her fans and inspire them to work hard and be great like her.

  70. loso May 28, 2010

    @DANBOFFICIAL Rihanna dont care about you and you wish you was Kelly (a beautiful, successful, rich, and intelligent black woman. So much class and dignity.)

  71. ~TeAM WeeZY~ May 28, 2010

    Definitely don’t like this! The song is okay to be on the album, but ABSOLUTELY NOT single material! NO WAY! The song is so generic and kinda boring! Try again, Kells!

    BTW, she needs to release that “Commander” Urban Mix! Maybe not a single, but it should definitely be on the album as a bonus track or something! I love that!

  72. CoCo May 28, 2010

    it’s cute. not the fire that commander is. i think of this song as a 3rd single after 2 big hits. you know after she has established her new sound . i really wish this was a intro or a bside this song kinda of sounds like filler. like maybe this can be a bonus track for japan. like why release this here if you got a danja track on the album?? i mean if the danja track is that instrumental rico played for us 4 months ago than that song right there would blow her the f*** up. the track alone is fiyah. so imagine it with vocals. kelly my dear this is no time to be releasing a destinys child track from 2001 with a ok quasi house beat. hear is my idea turn that song into a intro and lets forget this lil boo boo. smooches

  73. danny b May 28, 2010

    I agree with BEYONCE VS. THE WORLD

    I am a fan of Kellys. But You guys (her stans) act as though she’s this God-given gift to the music industry that we all neglect. She is talented: she can sing, can dance..but she’s not this diamond in the ruff that u all portry her to be. But she does deserve some more limelight and shine than she’s gotten in the past.. But right, she’s no Janet, no Fantasia, no Ne-Yo, no Mariah, not even a Beyonce — and please dont throw that “if Kelly had the same promotion as Beyonce shed be just as big” CRAP. Just like Bey says, she “walks like this cuz [she] can back it up”— so yea Bey was/is more heavily promoted and supported by Mathew and her team, BUT that only goes so far—luckily, she DOES have the enormous talent and skill to back it up. The problem with Kelly is that she star quality and talent wouldn’t amount to as much promotion as Beyonce gets. Not hating, just speaking truth. But I am very much Team Kelly, as I am Team Michelle and of course TEAM BEYONCE.

  74. mimi May 28, 2010

    I wanna d*** slap Cucci in his bulldog looking face.
    No “Comannder” video is out nor has it hit the airwaves.
    It ain’t gonna SMASH when there is NO type of promo to support it.

  75. mimi May 28, 2010

    It took Just Dance almost a year to get recognized and it eventually SMASHED.

  76. justin_Sofly May 28, 2010

    i like how some people saying that sells make an artist, numbers matter i know some mix tapes the is better than some of them major albums that sold alot. i dont care about the numbers to be hones Ms Kelly was a really nice album and it didnt sell well but thats ok because she gave her fans what they wanted. if you dont like kelly dont buy her music and dont listen to her new s*** point blank. bey is talented but this is a kelly post stop comparing her to bey, just because they where in a group that shouldn’t mean you compare the two constantly. and anyway bey and kelly voice are pretty much they same bey just goes over the top with her vocals and does to much with all that theatrical s*** she does sometimes all that mess is not even called for. Good Day

  77. justin_Sofly May 28, 2010

    *dont matter

  78. Dwayne May 28, 2010

    Not gonna lie….I’m LOVIN this! Can’t wait for the Commander video to drop and for her to officially launch “…Haters…” To hear the album in it’s entirety….man…I can’t wait…team Kelly is doin the damn thing!!

  79. CeCe May 28, 2010

    This the hotness…..i love it….. START SHAKIN HATERZ OFF YALL lol

  80. Ugine May 28, 2010

    Kelly really does have haters… Honestly, there is always someone saying she cannot do this, she cannot do that, she will never be successful, she’s just a backup singer, … Why would you spend so much time criticizing someone you don’t care for? It doesn’t make sense…furthermore whether you like an artist or not is independent of their talent – so why focus on breaking someone down when you can just let them live!

    That’s the difference from supporters and haters.

  81. dyndyn May 28, 2010

    like the sound…HATE the lyrics…seriously. team kelly =)

  82. Gucci May 28, 2010

    @DANBOFFICIAL

    LMAO girl stop it! <3 hahahaha

    @danny b

    Boy you extracted every word from my mouth. Yes honey! Kelly stans are so desperate they blame queen Bey for all of Kelly's flops. This song is horrible. End of story.

  83. Renee May 28, 2010

    I like the song, but unfortunately I don’t think it is a strong enough single for a domestic release. Commander is a very strong international single. Personally, I thought Kelly should release Commander and Just Whisper as international singles to display her range on the album. Commander is very much an upbeat single and dance sound while Just Whisper is a beautiful, easy listening ballad (at least from the 33 second snippet I have heard so far and I am a sucker for ballads) to showcase she vocal ability. But that is my taste. Shake Them Haters off is really good for the album only, but we’ll wait and see how it performs on the US charts.

    Second, it is sickening reading childish and ignorant comments on entertainers. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion without this unleash of disgusting remarks in reference to another person’s opinion. Third, for those of you who seem to lump Americans into 1 category with this whole urban preference from US citizens, do yourself a favor and get an education. I am an American and I listen to a variety of music and do not have a stereotypical mindset that certain artists are suppose to do a particular kind of music. To have such a narrow view of particular group of people based on comments from message boards, images seen in the media, and/or interaction with an American means you are no better than the person you’re judging.

  84. Lady Gaga’s Invisible Twin Marty May 28, 2010

    This song is a mess. Sorry, kelly would be lucky as hell if this even entered the charts. Making a song about haters is like asking for haters to come after you. Come on, Kelly and Ciara should know by now. Kelly isn’t even half of somebody to have haters. She’s no Beyonce, Gaga, or Rihanna so… While kelly is complaining about her haters, I’ll just sit here and wait for her to sell some albums and make some hits. *takes a seat for eternity*

  85. joe sullivan May 28, 2010

    It aight… for me it goes: 1) On and On 2) Commander 3) Shake Them Haters Off

    XTINA is happy to see those girls have the BACK toBASICS (2006) images again.

    IN 2006, Christina Aguilera did a 20s,30s,40s.

    Pls see candyman, this is candyman video image.

    Beyonce also got this image in her new mv.

    @Lady Gaga’s Invisible Twin Marty

    FACT: lady gaga and her fans are always ACCUSING other female artists copying her.

    FACT: LADY GAGA COMES OUT JUST ONLY 2 YEARS. SHE IS COPYING KALIE MILOG, GWEN STEFANI, MODONNA, CHRISTINA, AND BRITNEY SPEARS. PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER, AND CHANGES IT FREQUENTLY. and then her fans say : “is that woman lady gaga?” f*** you, b****.

    FACT: LADY GAGA AND HER FANS ARE OF LOW IQ.

    I actually like this song. Its very catchy. Shake Them Haters Off Kelly.

  92. Ally May 28, 2010

    I’m not a kelly fan because I dislike Beyonce. I love Kelly because I love her music she has great songs I don’t understand why people pretend that she doesn’t make great music. I love her style the songs she sings have a lot of emotion to them she puts her heart in her music she is authentic. she makes me feel what she’s feeling. Her ballads and adlibs are out of this world I take it you’ve never her albums before.

    Just to note Kelly does have haters people spend they’re everyday life talking about the way she looks they talk about her music, singing, dancing, Everything people never find nothing nice to say about her. Anytime you waste a comment on an artist you don’t like you are hating. and plenty of people make comments about Kelly rowland daily. If she was really as irrelevant and untalented as some want you to believe people wouldn’t even go as far to even comment.

    A lack of interest is just that instead people show interest by flocking to her post just to comment rather a negative comment or positvie you still showed interest.

    Anyway I love the song.

    P.S again for the slow ones

    ANY TIME YOU MAKE A COMMENT ON A PERSON YOU DISLIKE YOU ARE HATING!

  93. Independent Thinker May 28, 2010

    GUCCI, You just mad because you know she’s talking about you.

  94. Danni May 28, 2010

    KELLY YOU ARE TOO BAD.

  95. FRESH LADY May 28, 2010

    GET EM KELS AND I SEE WHY SHE MADE THIS BECAUSE PPL ALWAYS COMPARE. SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS GONNA GET SO SHE DID THE SONG.

    IM SO GLAD.

    TO ALL THE HATERS LET IT REST CUS KELLY GONNA DO HER.

  96. lala May 28, 2010

    I love it!

  97. Plug May 28, 2010

    I’m glad this song is going to be a single. She’s very bold for making this statement and having the guts to put it in every ones face. I do wish she would have played with her voice a bit more. Hopefully if / when she performs this song she’ll jazz it up with some much needed alibs.

    I agree with Joe Sullivan. This song sounds like a cross between “When Love Takes Over” and “Happy Face”. You can definately tell that Neyo penned it and I think the Stargate production is BANANAS! It’s such a happy song despite the fact that Kelly is putting the haters in their place. I love that even though she’s letting y’all have it; she’s doing it without aggression or anger. She’s bubbly and sweet. Just goes to show you what a happy place she’s in. Not even those people who have nothing but mean,shallow ad useless things to say can bring her down. I’m loving it. Can’t wait for this album.

  98. PARKEUR May 28, 2010

    GOOD SONG BUT FOR ME BAD CHOICE FOR 1 SINGLE IN THE US … BUT JUST MY OPINION I GUESS KELLY AND HER TEAM KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING … I CROSS MY FINGER IT WORK . GOOD LUCK KELLY …

  99. NikkiIsChillin May 29, 2010

    I like it. Very catchy. Go team Kelly!

  100. raraskils May 29, 2010

  101. tweetypiebabe1 May 29, 2010

  102. NE-YO*STAN May 29, 2010

    I’m already ready to hear the NE-YO demo version! … why didn’t he have something like this as his first single? C’mon, son.

  103. ReichelleDC3 May 30, 2010

  107. Muni May 30, 2010

    I think KELLY’S fans are so critical, I have noticed fans from other artists such as CIARA, BEYONCE, RHIANNA, they fans support almost everything they do. Please let support KELLY, she is happy and she is with new managemnet, new label making music again, lets just be happy with her and stop being critical. Her new team is very much teamKELLY, I believe they know what they are doing. PEACE!!!!!!!

  108. JAmmy May 31, 2010

    This reminds me of KAty Perry’s song sort of in terms of the sound and melodys.. this song will either jump straight to number 1 or flop harder than Ghetto!
