In what comes as little surprise, Kelly Rowland has also now delayed the release of the International incarnation of her third studio album to next year.
It has been previously confirmed that, though pushed back to 2011 in the US, the worldwide version of the LP would still hit stores on November 29th. Not anymore.
Fully story after the jump…
The latest twist in the tale that is Rowland’s 3rd album, came courtesy of the 29 year herself during a Ustream session with fans last night (October 14th).
A humbled Rowland thanked her supporters for their patience, vowing to make sure that the wait was worth it when the album is eventually released.
It was not immediately clear if the two-version concept will remain, or whether one definitive album will be hitting all markets upon release. What is palpable, though, is the fact that Kelly and her team went back to the drawing board at some point over the last few months. Which does beg the question; what will become of the Urban-Dance tracks which made up the first version of the album? By that I mean the likes of ‘On & On’, ‘Each Other’, ‘Forever & A Day’ etc?
————————————-
I’ve said many a time, but the ‘back to scratch’ approach with the album has both negative and positive potential. On the one hand, the buzz – in comparison to when ‘Commander’ debuted – is dimming. After all, the million dates, directions, and versions, provided has only served to confuse her potential buying audience.
That said, Kelly cultivating a new look (*very important in today’s day and age*), as well as collaborating with A-list hitmakers such as Darkchild, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, and Jermaine Dupri during this re-grouping phase, may very well spawn the hit that will carry the project forward.
It’s very much a waiting game; one which will be interesting to see how plays out.
Randomness: Kelly revealed during the chat that one of the two names she is considering for the album is ‘Kelebrate’ as suggested by a fan. “Celebrate” spelt with a ‘K’. Hmm…

who cares
when does beyonces come out
i am bored.
and I’m pissed because Beyonce will be out before Kelly and then again she will be on the shadow… that is a mess they never find a way to promote her and I don’t really understand why because she got many hits internationnaly so it means that she can do something great… so why… why… at least promote a lot of singles (but with real promotion) during the wait…
we’ll see but once again I’ll be sad if she doesn’t have the light she deserves… she was way better by herself… since she signed a deal… everything was a mess… 🙁
lol poor her every black female will be overshadowed by beyonce next year, and the black eyed peas and lady gaga will also be dominating the charts next year poor kellly
All this pushing back is going too make her bump into Beyonce and we dnt need 2 go there again!
Her team needs 2 get themselves together
SMGDH WTH Kelly I was all with you in the beginning because i felt alot times you were overlooked in DC and I felt like you had two strong albums and was counting on the 3rd to be just as strong but all these push backs, urbans version, uk versions are making me sick and I am soooooo over it! Now Beyonce’ gon come flood the market again and then all your remaining fans gon say she did you wrong! No you played yourself! You should have came with the album as soon Grown Woman came out SMH I can’t say anymore I’m so annoyed ……………#ICant!!!!!!!!! Please bring the new Brandy album on please I need real music:)
I feel down all of a sudden…{*sighs*}
Yall wack asss beyonce stans up early.. Go figure. Kelly is and will be fine. Even if she does run into the time that beyonce comes out I just think she needs to stand her ground and remain the artist she is. Don’t clam up cause beyonce is coming I actually think some friendly competition of the albums would be cool. Hehehehe. Sip on that beyonce stans. I think kelly is beyonce biggest threat in todays dry industry I used to say Ciara was but I knw kelly is I’m dat chick performance on youtube proves kelly has what it takes to compete with a beyonce. With a team a vision and correct sound mics like beyonce lol! She is in it to win it. Just take yalls heads out Beyonce’s already stretched p****. Pow!
honey beyonce her last album sold 7 million and she sold nearly 20 million singles
and she had a 100 million + grossing tour
how much did kelly her last album sell and how much did kelly her last tour gross
o oke
ya girl is done
Be patient she knows what she is doing, as long as she still releasing singles and charting that is most important. True KELLY fans will be by her side no matter what so. GO KELLY bring that FIRE back.
Don’t care anymore about the failure thats called Miss.Rowland.
Here we go, here we go again […]!! Miss Smelly Flopland is NOTHING BUT A HOT ASS WANNABE FIERCE MESS, as well as her project !! B**** IT’S A WRAP FOR YOU SO PLEASE GO AWAY WITH YOUR FLOP ASS SINGLES AND ALBUMS !! B**** YOU GOT NO PERSONALITY AT ALL !! WORLDWIDE FLOP !!! NEEEEEEXT
This makes no sense to release singles and music videos when your album, according to you and you and your people, is not even close to being finished. Why even put anything out when you have nothing done? That’s like serving bread at dinner and giving us the utensils, but saying that the water, main course, and dessert will be served at a later date. Why give us the bread when the chicken and potatoes are not even in the oven? Makes no sense to me, and does not make me excited at all for whatever material she plans to push out. It is October 2010. Will her stuff be out this time next year, with seven more videos out before the album?
I have no confidence in this girl, and that is what she needs especially at this critical time in her career. She should have been on the hush hush if her stuff is not finished, or close to being done. Instead of making those music videos, she should have been in the studio. Now that she is in the studio making new songs with more producers, it seems as if there is no guarantee that the songs she made videos for will even be on the album that she has no title for. So it was all a waste of time, effort, and money.
The QUEEN Ms Kelly pushed back!!!!!
WATCH BeyAWNCe push back to because shes afraid of Ms Kelendria!!! HAHAAHAHAHAHHHAHA!
^^ you betta keep that dream alive anyway i hope she release the same verisons i don’t need no diffrent albums
It is boring and means that she doesn’t care and doesn’t treat her fans.
Her singles are huge flop. Wake up. She is irrelevant in the industry. And she will be…
Kelly FLOPland her name is.
the music industry is a hot mess right now.
I wash my hands off Kelly Rowland… Im done!!!! Somebody check how B is coming along with her next smash album. More Grammys, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t with some of you with this Beyonce crap stop the press she has y’all brain washed I would be embarrassed to have y’all as fans that’s probably why. She doesn’t have a twitter because of her delusional stans. ..go shoot yourselves
KELLY , I LOVE BUT NOW I’M TELLING YOU…F*** YOU!! I’M SO TIRED OF ALL THIS CONFUSION , PUSHBACK ECCC…!
NO MATTER WEN KELLY COMES OUT, SHELL STILL ROCK!!!! THE GURL JUST GOT STOOOPID ASS MANAGEMENT.. TISK TISK TISK..
BT BE REALISTIC, SHEL NEVA CMPARE 2 BEYONCE
So we agree that Matthew Knowles was doing a better job?
LMAO She is pulling a Cassie on your asses !!
GIO88……………..GROW THE HELL UP
LOST is the only word that describes Kelly and her team’s effort for this era to be successful. I’ve never seen songs released 8 – 12 months before an album drops. I’ve never seen an artist lead with several dance tracks for an pop/r&b album. I’ve never heard of an artist promising all this new excitement with a forth coming album that showcases her new image and new style in music genre to then later find them recruit top producers to fit in with today’s generic sound on the Hot 100 airplay and urban radio charts. I have never seen an artist promise 2 completely different albums (1 for in the states and another internationally)… to later release the same album in both regions that are the complete opposite of what she was building on and developing as an artist everywhere(give this 2weeks, I’m sure it’ll be the outcome). It’s also typical of Kelly to rely on her fans to name the album for her (that I already believe was named prior to considering “Kelebrate”). Kelly lacks confidence and displays nothing but uncertainty with this project and her music. She has 0 follow through and she appears to be inspired by Rihanna’s fashion sense(where’s the hair Kelly???). I just think that Kelly should look at her options as an actress on the small screen; consider a sitcom Kelly!
I’m going to be honest.
Not interested in this project (yawns)
LMAO @ “Re-Schedule” lol…..
Sam is too funny.
I am over it!
People lets not be delusional here, Kelly isn’t Bey’s biggest competition, it’s Rihanna.
Anyways I was over Kelly about 3 months ago, I’m just fed up of waiting, her buzz is gone. *waits patiently for Beyonce’s new album*

YEAH I SPOKE WITH BEYONCE THIS MORNING…
And we believe that we’ve given Kelly enough time to have finished an album and be on the third single by now and that she would be on some mini tour with some other artists when B was getting ready to release.
Beyonce told me that she doenst care anymore what the Kelly stans have to say because anything she does will be seen as her trying to take Kellys shine.
We then agreed that there is no “shine” to take and that the time has come for teh return of the queen b****.
We also decided that we will give her until January next at which point we will wait no longer.
NEW BEYONCE JANUARY 2011!!!!!!!!!
@ KYUS_____wt(DAMN)f?????????
RIHANNA? BEES BIGGEST COMPETITION????
UR EITH ON SUM SHII. . . . . OR UR RIRI’S LITTLE BROTHER WITH THE HUGE 4HEAD, TRYINA PULL SUM PUBLISIDY SHII
Kelebrate? I>CANT!!!!
I’m so mad right now. I’m so pissed. I wish you all would just stop posting these Kelly articles. Just LEAVE ME IN THE DARK. Ugh…

Yea the Beyonce fans are starting to sound like complete nutcases with some of these posts. I cant see me fighting and using all my energy to argue about a celebrity like that. Im sure Kelly and Beyonce are on the phone somewhere sipping champagne and laughing at how ridiculous you all are.
FORGET ITTTTTTTTTTTT!!! KELLY JUST FORGET ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! ITS BEEN OVER FOR YOU FOR YEARSSSSSSS
She needs to just give up. Nobody cares anymore… like seriously!!! And that album title is just retarded… what is she thinking?
sit down kelly and watch B show u how it’s done
Fans and Kelly can blame the label all they want, but her music is mediocre. Out of all the songs we’ve heard, only 1 or 2 have been fire. She just doesn’t get the best material and when she does, she doesn’t know what to do with it.
I honestly think Kelly should just quit trying to be a US artist, make UK dance music and have a career there. The U.S. isn’t checking for her anymore. LeToya who has had substantial R&B hits has a hard enough time; what makes Kelly stans think that she’s going to do any better?
I’m a big kelly stan … but she’s an idiot
The whole world regards her as Beyonce’s back up singer … does she think they are going to wait forever?
Will you guys get over thinking that it was always Mathew Knowles who messed up her career or that Beyonce always prevents her from having a hit album. The only person who is stopping Kelly from success is Kelly. Although I love some of the songs put out from this “album” so far, Kelly is really nothing to jump up and down about. Sorry to say it, but Kelly will most likely never jump off in the music industry by herself. Kelly could have the best produced song with the best producers in the world, and still not be a huge success solo wise. Kelly just doesn’t have the X-Factor as a solo artist, I wish her and her team would realize this and just move on. Mathew knew this, but still supported her efforts. Put out the album, and get whatever money they can from it and move on.
Watch Kelly stans go crazy over this post… (waits to get hit over the head with a bottle). But its the truth. I as well have artists who I like and think who should get way more shine than they currently get, but they don’t. It is what it is. Not every artist is going to be able to get in the door. Look at Kat Deluna, I love her but she doesn’t get any type of recognition.
Kelly doesn’t need to be scared of anything from what hear so far this year this would be the best album of 2010, Please KELLY release the album, Even because I have already pre-order 3 copies in HMV UK, COME on now!!!

I see why Kelly’s albums don’t sell. Has she even released a video for any of her music. I think she could have went somewhere with Grown A$$ Woman. She need to stop taking pictures and start making, selling, and promoting music if she expects to sell some albums.

Agree wtih @ROYALKEV. Kelly needs to get her act together. Who releases videos/singles when their album is no where near complete? It’s not even titled! *waits for Team Weezy to go in*
And LOL @ Sam trying to make it sound better “Re-Schedules”. If this was Christina or Rihanna you would show no mercy.
i am NOT….Sasha Fierce
Wow…ust the other day I was thinking that she released her album and no one cared…I couldn’t remember…this is a mess…like I said, it was never Mathew or Beys fault…she is not on there label and still no shine…and like other above me said, soon bey is gonna come out with music an then it will be “Blame It On Beyonce” time…uhh (don’t know what eles to say, that hasn”t been sai already)
@royalkev
100% co-sign plus more…
@ spring
Is that you kelly. Stop playin on the internet and get your flop of a album together. Can’t blame matt now can you?
Awwh, thats too bad. Hope it works out for Kelly cause her buzz is starting to get negative…Well, I’ll just wait and see.
The buzz left months ago on Kelendria. Sorry!
okay, with commander, grown woman, forever and a day, and rose coloured glasses, this album should have been out already. it should have been released, the die hard fans would have bought it and if she was worried about money, she should rely solely on the success (or the lack there of) of her singles. i love her though!
AT THIS POINT I COULD GIVE A GOOD G*DAMN….. THIS IS REALLY STUPID!!!!
Oh BEYONCE, where for art thou????
GOOD LUCK, I BELIEVE IN YOU !
The album is ready she or her team are scared about the sales just put the f****** album out. KELLY. I am sure you will be surprise, because lately people are only releasing garbage, u are doing dance music and still making great music. JUST RELEASE THE F****** ALBUM, I LOVE U KELLY WE ALL BY UR SIDE PLEASE ONE MORE TIME RELEASE THIS F****** ALBUM. U WILL BE SURPRISE WITH THE ANSWER. ALSO TO GAIN UR RESPECT FORGET ABOUT THE SALSE FOR NOW, SALES WILL PAY OFF IN 2011 PLEASE KELLY
THIS IS PISSIN ME OFF!! HER TEAM IS SOO WACK! AND SHE IS GOIN BEHIND THEM! THA ALBUM NEEDS TO BE OUT NOW!! SHE NEEDS TO BE EVERYWHERE!! PROMOTE! PROMOTE! PROMOTE! ohhhhh mann im over it!
LMAO @TheKiddz! You actually said exactly what I wanted to say about Sam. If this was Rihanna or Xtina, that ball-less idiot would have all types of shade thrown at them. But since it’s Kelly he’s so ‘optimistic’. PUH-LEASE!
You know what, I’m too tired to even comment on this fuckery that is Kelly Rowland’s album!
R.I.P Kelly’s solo career
ahhh i’m a kelly rowland fan but seriously… why… next year? now seriously…??!?!!
Album flopped before it even came out
I am a die hard Kelly fan. Loved all of the singles, except for Forever and a Day. The songs and snippets I have heard – Commander, Grown Woman, On and On, Just Whisper, Rose Colored Glasses, and Shake Them Haters Off were good in my opinion. Kelly actually, had a great album on her hands, IF SHE GAVE IT CHANCE!!! But the constant push backs, switching singles for releases, uncertainty about the album’s title and so on and so forth is just redundant now. You don’t always need a number 1 single to have a hit album. Albums have sold very well without reaching number 1 on the US Billboard Charts. And quite frankly, music release here in America right now is borderline crap with a some tolerable music in between. And I am an American saying this. Kelly actually has a great chance at being a very successful international artist outside of close-minded America. But for some insane reason, she is hellbent on trying to break domestic ground. Sighs. I’m just tired of this woman and her obvious lack of confidence in her own artistic work. She keeps going this route and not many people will give a damn about her album, if it ever sees the light of day.
I don’t l like the name Kelebrate either, I know that Kelly and her team could have chosen a better name than that. Kelly need to get more involved in the project. Nicki Mimaj
is two or three steps ahead of Kelly because she has release a video and album
cover. Like one poster said Kelly would have a good album with the song he list.
I want Kelly to do well and I hope she surprise everyone with this album
What about all those empty, mindless radio interviews? Wasting the radio station’s times. Exhausting your fans with excitement and continual disappointment. I can never digest how you played Grown Woman. It’s as if you were afraid of success and a #1 record. I think your heart belongs to a girl group and girlfriends. You ain’t ready to be on your own.
@kicktheeardrum
Ciara has a release date, December 14.
See that’s the thing about pushbacks that labels fail to realize, it KILLS all interests in the album. I wish Kelly the best of luck!
I have to hear exactly what Kris will say about this?
