Keyshia Cole Performs ‘Long Way Down’ On ‘Wendy’

Published: Tuesday 14th Dec 2010 by Trent

Keyshia Cole also performed when she visited ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ today. The singer performed her new single, ‘Long Way Down’, from her ‘Calling All Hearts’ album (in stores on December 21st). Look at her performance below:

Sometimes I wonder if Keyshia hears herself when she performs live because she has the tendency to sound incredibly flat. In fact, she even sounds as though she is singing a completely different song. I just don’t understand.

Thoughts?

  7. f.L.y December 15, 2010

    she did wayyyy better on some late night show i think it was Jimmy Fallon she sounded really good

  8. Ladyrt23 December 15, 2010

    i thought it was my ears. this chick can’t sing like i thought she could. she is horribly flat. maybe the music is too loud.

  9. champ-ion December 15, 2010

    Well, if anything, this performance should brighten Fantasias spirits, LOL

    What a pathetic attempt. WTF?! Yet, sis had so much to say about “flat” artists on star n buckwild LOL

    Monica; come get your girl, she played herself on this one. Yo, u peep sis in the audience on the far right…she straight looking at Wendy, rather then the ‘star’. But, aye, she got duke money now.

    Remember the Star n Buckwild interview she was talking slick about other chicks in the game – this straight up jacked.

  12. Omar December 15, 2010

    Shut yall stupid selfs up and stop hating -keyshia Cole is the best and she will continue to be so .Haters fall back

  13. Chile Please!! December 15, 2010

    OMG! My ears…you guys already know I can’t take this chick. The video is self explanatory! Point blank she can’t sing, she does nothing different with her voice. She do the same s*** holding long off key notes, no control, & all over the place. Girl Bye!

  14. WorldWideWaddie.com December 15, 2010

    I am so sick of Keyshia. Poor performances and poor attitude. I smell a major flop.

  15. VA STAND UP!!! December 15, 2010

    Um…I didn’t think it was that bad! She was kinda flat, but it wasn’t horrible. I can’t remember the last time she delivered a ‘great’ performance, but this certainly wasn’t the worst.

    Anywho, I love Keyshia to death. I have always supported her cause I think she is talented and makes good music. The first two were her best, solid through and through. The third one kinda fell flat but that song with Monica saved it for me. I haven’t heard anything from the album that makes me want to buy it. The song with Nicki is annoying and this one is good lyrically, but kinda of boring. I haven’t heard anything that makes me want to buy it. *shrugs*

    I hate to say it but I think she is shaing up to flop.This seems to be the season for flops. Its still good to see her out promoting herself though.

    S/N: This is what Ci-Errors ass should have done on Wendy yesturday besides talk about the men (boys) she has dated. -_-

  16. LEB December 15, 2010

    Nice song!

  17. Anthony M December 15, 2010

    If u sick of her stop looking at her when u see her, tired of people hating leave ur negative comments to urself. Keyshia is amazing if she not ur type then dont look at her performances simpl as that, I love her she can do no wrong by me.

  18. Anthony M December 15, 2010

    Keyshia is fantastic as usual. Additionally, I relate to every song she has ever sang. Finally, she is the only Artist that has inspired me to purchase all of her CD’s. Keep up the “Good Work”!!!!

    Debbie

  21. Malik December 15, 2010

    she does good when she hits high notes, but when it’s time for her to just sing she has flat parts and on key parts…i think she needs to work with a vocal coach ASAP and she will be perfect! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KEYSHIA, I LOVE YA <3

  22. Twenty V December 15, 2010

  23. g3 December 15, 2010

    i like keyshia but she always sucks live thats nothing new Keri will outsell her come Dec.21st bye ms.cole…BASIC INSTINCT IN STORES!!

  24. BENJAMIN December 15, 2010

    She does need to learn how to stay on key. She has a great voice, but she doesn’t always match the beat of the song. I really like this song though, and will be buying the album.

  25. Reina December 15, 2010

    I like the song, the performance was pitchy at times. I’m rooting for her though

  26. Pierrot December 15, 2010

    First, the opening phrases sit rather low in her voice, and considering that she’s not an alto/mezzo she has hard time tuning this part of the song. She also definitely has trouble navigating the wide leaps in the melody, and she has a tendency to fall off of the center of the pitch when she has repeated notes. All in all….hella out of tune. Diagnosis: train that ear get those notes in your voice. She’s not a bad singer.

  27. Andrew December 15, 2010

    She looks amazing :]

  28. The 10th Planet December 15, 2010

    I agree with @PIERROT 100%.

    She’s not terrible, she just needs a damn vocal coach. There is some deep down vocal ability in there.

    As for the song. She is always hit and miss for me. This however I like the production quality of. Good for her producers, and writers. This was a solid R & B effort. Now get ya girl some vocal training to bring it home.

  29. rob December 15, 2010

    it wasnt terrible , she was getting alot better but now hmmm not so much

  30. IKNOWTHETRUTH December 15, 2010

    I’M NOT FEELING THE CIRCA 2005 “THE WAY IT IS” ERA HAIR. THE PERFORMANCE WAS JUST TOTALLY AMATEUR NIGHT AT THE APOLLO FOR THE KIDS AND THAT WEAVE IS JUST TOO MUCH. RIHANNA JUST GOT DONE WITH IT. WHAT DID KEYSH DO PICK IT UP OFF OF THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR AND MAKE IT INTO A PONYTAIL? THIS ALBUM WILL NOT DO GOOD NUMBERS. SHE AND NE-YO STARTED TOGETHER, TWO VERY TALENTED WRITER/SINGERS. WHILE HER LIVE SHOWINGS HAVE ALWAYS LEFT MUCH TO BE DESIRED AND NE-YO’S HAVEN’T THEIR MATERIAL ISN’T DOING IT RIGHT NOW. THE LEAD SINGLE WAS GREAT. SHE DIDN’T FOLLOW UP WITH SUCH A HIT WITH THIS ONE BUT IT’S A VERY SOLID ALBUM TRACK. SHE NEEDS TO TAKE NOTES FROM KERI WHO IS DROPPING THE SAME DAY AND IS PROMOTING THE HELL OUT OF HER ALBUM. KERI IS GROWING AS A PERFORMER, AND HER SECOND SINGLE WAS A GREAT FOLLOW UP BECAUSE THE FIRST WASN’T TOO GREAT BUT A VERY SOLID ALBUM SONG. IT’S A SHAME THAT INTERSCOPE ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE THE SAME DATES AND THEY’RE ON THE SAME LABEL BUT ONE IS PUTTING OUT QUALITY AND THE OTHER NOT SO MUCH. DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT KEYSHIA HAS LESS TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM THAN ALL OF THE OTHERS BECAUSE HER LAST ALBUM DIDN’T SELL WELL? THAT’S CALLED HER BUDGET GETTING CUT. IT’S THE SAME THING FOR KERI BUT AT LEAST KERI HAS SOME HITS. THAT WAS ALSO KERI’S FIRST ALBUM AND SHE GOT TWO GRAMMY NODS. HAS ANYONE ALSO NOTICED THAT KEYSHIA’S POPULARITY HAS DECREASED SINCE THE REALITY SHOW LEFT? UM SHE ALSO NEEDS TO TAKE LESSONS ON HOW TO SING FROM HER BFF MONICA WHO SCHOOLED HER ON “TRUST”. KEYSHIA I LOVE YOU AND “JLY” IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM FROM YOU BUT I AM A DISSAPOINTED KC FAN. GET IT TOGETHER KEYSH AND PUSH THE ALBUM BACK PLEASE FOR YOUR FANS SAKE AND YOUR CAREER, GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND RE RECORD TO AT LEAST GET ANOTHER GOLD PLAQUE BECAUSE THIS IS LOOKING LIKE A LETOYA LUCKETT “LADY LOVE” BELLY FLOP ON THE CHARTS.

  31. TWHIST December 15, 2010

    Decent performance – love the studio version of the song!

  32. FUTURESTARdelux December 15, 2010

    She started off shaky but by the end she was going OFF lol <3 i'm starting to get back into her now. I loved her outfit and hair too.

    Can't stand Wendy she's such a giant t***** b****.

  33. antertain December 15, 2010

    Flats and Off notes.

    Late Night was better than this but she still really gotta fit how she presents the 1st half of the song.

    She trying not to start to strong on the track which is cool, but she not controlling it.

    You can still hear she has vocal quality in parts but seems like she still finding herself again since baby came.

    On 2 the next performance KC

  34. james December 15, 2010

    Dang! Wendy throwin shade at the beginning! “Grammy nominated singer..”

    smh!

    i wonder how good Beyonce feels when people are able to introduce her as “Winner of 16 grammy awards…”

  35. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ December 15, 2010

    Keyshia is ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS flat when she performs! It never fails. I like her, but she needs to get a vocal coach ASAP.

  36. Mely B December 15, 2010

    Keyshia started off flat but recovered through the rest of the song. I wonder if she’s read all her bad reviews following her BET Awards performance because she has seemed incredibly nervous during the performances that I’ve seen after that.

    I’m a die-hard KC fan though and hope that she gets the vocal training she needs and ups her confidence level to what it was after her debut!

  37. Tammy December 15, 2010

    Now I know why I never heard of her, she sucks!

  38. Patricia December 15, 2010

    This girl just can’t sing!

  39. Deja December 17, 2010

    please you ppl have no life what so ever OMG! your life is talking about ppl youll are miserable pathetic and broke . SHE IS DOING HER THING , SHE HAPPY . AND THATS WHAT MATTER . TRY FOCUSING ON YOUR OWN PROBLEMS MORE BYE B******!

  40. @FierceRokstar December 19, 2010

    I don’t see her floppin… especially compared to the weak string of albums that
    dropped, and will be dropping. She’ll be in the better half just cause her cd will be
    a good xmas gift for peoples moms and aunties. I know that’s what I’m gettin mines
    for xmas. & this is actually one of her better performances, I don’t think it was that bad.
    and I <3 this song.
