Undeniably one of this year’s most anticipated live concert showings, Chris Brown‘s ‘F.A.M.E. Tour‘ was welcomed with nothing but love last night in the Canadian city of Toronto.
Joined by touring partner and X Factor UK judge Kelly Rowland, Brown wowed and enticed his fans with renditions of some of his well loved music, which included his hits ‘Beautiful People‘ and ‘Run It’.
Peep the hottest shots from the night below…

Oct 1st baby see yah there Kelly
I can’t wait to see KELLY ROWLAND on September 21st!!!!!!!!!!
So many people have tweeted that Kelly DID THE DAMN THING!!! People are saying that she “murdered the stage” and that she’s “an amazing performer” and that she “can daaannccee”. People are so excited and that gets me excited. Now I’m thinking about buying tickets for the Baltimore show (even though I’m not a Chris Brown supporter; don’t own a single album). One concert goer even said in reference to Kelly’s performance, “If the concert were to end now, I could go home happy”. I have yet to read a bad fan review. I hope that somebody will post some concert footage because I want to see what’s got everybody screaming Kelly’s name right about now. I’m so happy for her.
Kellllly I can’t wait to see you in tour!
they look so basic.
That’s great. Good for kelly but I still don’t understand how an artist in the business for so long and is an opening act. Why can’t she at least schedule small venues for herself and then grow, so many artist start from small venues. Disappointed but her team knows best I guess.
Paying just to go see kelly !!! I caaaaaaant wait so excited to see her perform
Most anticipated ??????????
DELUSIONAL as always

Most anticipated ?!!!!!! 😆 ! NO COMMENT
*waits for X,Y and Z *
I didn’t know his shows were selling out?! Go Chris!
And they will both be lip-singing. how is that live.
Most anticipated my ass. Aint nobody checking for this tour. If not for TGJ i wouldn’t even know they r touring.
I strongly doubt Kelly did the damn thing. I mean Kelly’s fans would hail her even if she walked around the stage and exits hence her flopping album sales.
The way BET awards motivation was overrated.
Kelly is going to be in Arena Place in houston and that’s 5 mins away from me and the ticket is really cheap. I would rather watch people cut my grass all day that pay 10bucks to see Kelly. She is just that bad. I’m not in tune with anything she does.
i call him KINGBREEZY and i call her the MOST BEAUTUFUL WOMAN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Chris Browns concert was sold out last night. Haters stay mad LMAO
Chris & Kelly are getting payperr while yall on here hating lol #MustBeNice
@Kingbreezy
When you start going “I’m Not gay” more than likely you are. Now go take it in the ass with Chris Brown and your daddy wants to f*** u in the ass too.
P.S No straight dude fights for another man that is not his blood on the net. Gay like symptoms.
You DIRT Queens cease to amaze me. Sis Brown and Queen Kelly murdered it last night and you b****** can’t take it. Stay MAD! They are the ones with sold out shows while you are here PRESSED typing on your windows 98. LMAO
@Sam
“My Thoughts”..?!
“DISGUST!” “SICK TO MY STOMACH!” I FEEL …CHRIS HAS TOLD ME, T-H-E STRONGEST, MOST-DEVOTED OF “TEAM-BREEZY”, TO “F*** OFF”! THAT’S HOW I FEEL..!!!!
Let me “step away from the ledge,” and present “facts, rational and logic” as to EXACTLY why 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland shouldn’t be on THIS tour..
According to hdd, with 54% counted Kelly Rowland has sold U.S. 3,447 “Here I Am” units. So, let’s be generous and double that. Better yet, let ‘s give her the ‘benefit of doubt’, shall we? ..So 3,500 x 2 = 7,000 Units moved for the FIFTH WEEK. That’s STILL just under 150-K Units moved! http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi
Let me repeat myself: After FIVE-LONG WEEKS S-T-I-L-L LESS-THAN 150-K U.S. Units Moved!
Kelly Rowland CAN’T move CDs! 30-Something Year Old Kelly Rowland CAN’T sell tickets, at least NOT here in the U.S. So then, if she can’t sell tickets, why is SHE on this tour?
Kelly Rowland, with her inability to sell CDs, neither concert/tour tickets is now taking money from Chris, Big Sean, T-Pain and Tyga’s pockets! Essentially, she’s eating from everyone’s else plate..
Imma post this comment, and THEN go and get some info on her “U.K.” sales. If you hadn’t known, “Here I Am” is NOW available to U.K. residence via Amazon!
Brb..

All of you ignorant,
NOBODYs
Who put forth the effort to express negative comments,
Let me remind you, that you are NOBODYs
WISH you COULD afford a ticket because HATING DON’T PAY honey!!
Kelly is makin hers- if it aint good enough for you, get off these posts and get yourself a real hustle
Chris is making his- if he ain’t to your liking, nobody in the universe gives a s*** about your individual negative ass opinion
They are unstoppable- both of them against the odds. That’s why I support and live both. Why the f*** can’t I stan for both Bey and Kelly? Am I the only one who has a real life?!
OMG I can’t wait until Saturaday, super excited from reading TORONTO SUNS REVIEWS OF THE SHOW. Chris no he wrong showing a video of him taking a shower, OMG. I heard Kelly killed the stage too. 4 more days
K.. Back..!!
Now, “Here I Am” has been released via Amazon U.K. for a few weeks now (amazon(codot)uk/Here-I-Am-Kelly-Rowland/dp/B0055CJ8T2)
And, supposedly, Kelly Rowland has this…”highly MOTIVATED” ‘U.K. following'(does she?). But wait, wasn’t SHE just voted as T-H-E second-most popular of the ‘now-sitting judges’ on X-Factor U.K.? YES! ..She just-recently was!
..So then, logic ONLY dictates that since her CD is NOW available to/for her said “most-stimulated, highly-MOTIVATED, credit-card-at-the-ready supporters”, they’ll now “plow-a-path” through “London rioters” and the “2.43-Million U.K. Unemployed” to buy her CD, yes?
..Well then, where’s her sales?
The following are T-H-E definitive, most-referenced U.K./World charts..
1.)http://www.mediatraffic(dotde)/albums.htm Top-40 Best-selling Albums in the WORLD. “Here I Am”: ABSENT!
2.)http://www.chartstats(dotcom)/album_chart.php – Top-100 Best-selling U.K. Albums. “Here I Am”: NOT!
3.)http://www.theofficialcharts(dotcom)/albums-chart/ – U.K. Top-100 Best-selling Album chart. “Here I Am”: NOPE!
4.)http://www.b**(dotcodot)uk/radio1/chart/albums – U.K. Top-40 Album chart. “Here I Am”: SIKE!
5.)http://www.b**(dotcodot)uk/radio1/chart/rnbalbums – B** R&B Top-40 Chart. “Here I Am”: NEGATORY!
6.)http://www.apple(dotcom)/euro/itunes/charts/top10soulalbums.html. “Here I Am”: NAY!
‘NOT-A-ONE’ “Here I AM” to be found! Again I ask: “Where are these “HIGHLY MOTIVATED” U.K./WORLD “ROWDOGS” of hers?”
..”Motivation..?!” Listen, when I was spending HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS on Chris’s music/”Takers” tickets, I didn’t wait! I WAS ALWAYS FIRST IN LINE..!!
“Here I Am” will FLOP in the U.K., as it has now, here in the U.S.!! That said, 30-Something-Year-Kelly Rowland shouldn’t be on this tour…!!!

You use Chris Brown’s music to catch girls.
Bye Boy/Girl can’t even tell your s** because of how you sound.
You sound like a pre-school girl.
why is there so much hate on this post it is never THAT serious. congrats to chris on his sold out show, i hope all of them sell out.
@XYZ,What kind of human being are you?kelly rowland doesn’t even know you ar esisting,so why hating on someone that doesn’t even know you and your miserable family of yours.queen kelly rowland,keep doing you maam
Uhmmmm, Chris look damned s***…and yes, he know he wrong for showing a clip of him in the shower. I’m neither here nor there on Kelly………….
i know she shut it down – ms kelly better get that money plus all of her fans know that this tour is setup simply as a precursor to her own international tour next year after the xfactor so all the haters keep replying – get these comments up – KELLYS LOVES U ESPECIALLY
I love my fave!
DEAD at the haters.
1) People from the show said he sang live and sounded great so cut the lip-syncing bs.
2) No one is checking for the show but TGJ but yet last night it was sold out and he sold 6,000 tickets for the Staple Center show in one day. You mad?
Idk how he is a flop selling out areanas…but that’s the haters for you…always mad…oh well.

@NOODLES re: 12:41 pm —
NOODLES!! Where ya been? ..Long time!
So, Noodles, let’s “cut to the chase” – shall we? Let’s not “play games” with innuendo, or allusion: do YOU think I’m a..”hater”..??
(Before you answer..)
Haven’t YOU known me to be a “good soldier”?? Haven’t YOU known me to be one of, if not T-H-E strongest of the “Team-Breezy believers”?
Haven’t YOU seen me fighting in these “Cyber Trenches/Streets/Alleyways/Gullies” for almost 3-years now?
Hadn’t YOU see me get banned, censored, “poorly imitated”, “recklessness duplicated” from/on several blogs? (too much for me now to all recall)
I can ONLY call it as I see it…
Kelly Rowland IS Robin Roberts.
Kelly Rowland IS Oprah Winfrey.
Kelly Rowland IS Harvey Levin.
Kelly Rowland IS that racist/hateful “build manager” giving Chris such a hard time.
Kelly Rowland IS Fox News’ Laura Ingram!
Kelly Rowland IS the hateful, hypocritical, racist mainstream who continues to crucify Chris! Kelly Rowland ARE those hateful, racist, “mean-spirited” paparazzi who continue to harass and badger Chris.
Why is 30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland on this tour? Why? She can’t move CDs, which means she can’t sell concert tickets! So far, her U.S. CD sales have be ABYSMAL! After ALL the hype, promotion and exposure: “FIVE-WEEK-150K-TOTAL”..??!! …WTF..??!!
If you can’t sell CDs, then how are you selling concert tickets? Please, just answer me that! And that being the case, why is SHE on this tour? And if you’re not selling concert tickets, aren’t you then getting paid from out of the pockets of everyone else? “Everyone else” whose selling CDs AND THEREFORE – “selling” concert tickets..?? Please, just answer me this..
XYZ *WAITS FOR ANSWER*
Love to “X,Y,and Z’ and all my Team Breezy family. What I am hearing, that she is not the only act that will be touring with Chris Brown, so keep your ears open there is more to come about the tour as it moves forward.
Everybody said Chris & Kelly killed it!!! Stay mad!!!
This is the way i also see it:
I can ONLY call it as I see it…
Kelly Rowland IS Robin Roberts.

Kelly Rowland IS Harvey Levin.

Ciara, would have been a better choice, if he was going to choose a flop to open before him. At least Ciara can put on a good show.
Kelly was good and all, and I thank Chris Brown for coming to Toronto. Love and kisses.
“X,Y and Z”, I know you are not a hater, but Chris Brown said he forgive all his enemies. I feel the same way has you.
Chris Brown is doing his think and the show was wonderful.

I can’t wait to see footage from the show! Thanks for Kelly’s setlist Tyer!! I love that she performs “I’m that chick” first!
Love Kelly. I would love to see footage of this so I can see how well she did.
Kelly is on tour because Motivation sold more than one million units which is PLATINUM status, she had THE BEST BET Awards show performance, and let’s not forget how many remixes of Motivation floated around the web. Did you all forget that Commander was number one on the dance charts in the U.S.? Did you all forget that When Love Takes Over was a huge international hit, which won a grammy, and was nominated for World Song of The Year at the World Music Awards? These are just facts…I’m just sayin…
I will always expose some of you. I am still monitoring. How can a kelly fan call another artist flop. When i last checked none of her albums has reached platinum,wait are they gold yet? for years up on years. I am happy that she is getting alone but I wish she would have her own sold out arenas. NO shade but the truth. Why bash an artist when the one you support is not cutting it.
@ LA … how is Cb king when he dances and hardly sings live! Heavily lip syncing? I’d prefer buy the CD.
@ WHY YOU MAD… Don’t you think she should have her own damn tour? If you can give out all these facts for CB tour then isn’t that enough for her to have her own tour instead of planning another album????????????
@BLUE KID —
That’s what I’ve BEEN saying, why not Ciara? As a “pure dancer” name me a better female dancer than Ciara? You can’t, because there isn’t one! Ciara is a better “pure dancer” than even Beyonce. Beyonce has the $$$ to put on a far-more elaborate stage show, but remove ‘all of that’, and you have Ciara as T-H-E best female dancer in the game!
BK, the reason I said what I had said, regarding Kelly Rowland, is that I don’t understand how (or why) she’s getting paid – or is even involved with the tour.
..Let me preface by saying – I DON’T work in “the industry”, nor do I have acquaintances nor friends in “the industry”; THIS much I DO know: Artists, on the whole, aren’t paid from the sales of CDs. The profits from “CD sales” goes BACK to the Label. The Label initially invests the funds to produce the CDs AND the videos. The artists gets “paid” from endorsements AND/OR touring.
..That said, if an artist isn’t “moving” CDs, then “safe to say” she’s NOT going to sell concert tickets! A concert ticket costs, roughly, 3-5X more than a CD. So, if you can’t afford $8, then you sure as hell won’t/can’t afford 24-$40 (or higher).
Chris ‘has/IS’ selling CDs. Compared to Kelly Rowland, so has/is Big Sean and Tyga! So, isn’t it now safe to say that she’s reaching into everyone’s else plate to now eat?
I just DON’T get it: she’s NOT a draw/sell CDs – why NOW have her on the tour?
BK, SHE HAS TO BE PAYING CHRIS! That’s the only way I can see/understand it! That said, wasn’t she just-recently in trouble (behind/underwater/upsidedown) with her Miami Condo not too long ago? That was when she was not-later-after seen with Richard Branson.
BK, and then there’s this “Think Like A Man” fiasco starring Terrence J..???!!!!! When I first read that, I checked the calendar see if it was “April 1st”..!! “Terrence J”..?!! He looks like a damn rodent! Just UNBELIEVABLE..!! I can’t call it, I guess folks in Hollywood have money to burn!
X,Y,”and Z”
@KIMBERLY re: 2:48 pm @Why you mad —
“Don’t you think she should have her own damn tour?”
It’s “SIMPLE MATHEMATICS”.. If she can’t sell CDs, what makes you think she can sell concert tickets that cost 40-50X more than a single, or 3-5X more than a CD?
Long-story short: YOU DON’T MOVE CDs, YOU WON’T SELL CONCERT TICKETS..!! That being the case, why then are you taking up “stage space” when there’s other artists – CIARA (Kerry Hilson) – who WERE there during those “dark days”, and who CAN dance, has “command-of-stage”..?
X,Y,”and Z”
Correction Keri = Kerry (the perils of not proofreading, over 60 wpm speed typing and multitasking).
@ X,Y,Z I was just proving a point. Someone said that she is great and is good enough for the tour then I said if she is so good then why can’t she have her own tour? doesn’t that make sense? I still support her though. I just wish she would step up after over a decade in music. New comers have their own tour already.
KELLY WTF!!! I LOVE YOU BUT YOU ARE SO DISAPPOINTING
TRUTH
can care less about boring ass kelly rowland just was exited the see the best performer in the biz chris brown
@ Bluekid
You mean to tell me you did not go to the F.A.M.E tour? Anyway I heard he killed it and I seen some footage on twitter plus he got great reviews from everywhere.
Hello XY&Z, Noodles,Zania & Bluekid
must say i am surprised about all these kelly rowland fans on this site given the fact that she doesnt have many worldwide
@Kodyex
Hello to you also
sorry for the typo Kody3X
At Kimberly and XYZ, you all just don’t get it. Lol She’s guest appearing on this concert, because she’s also a judge on the X Factor UK. That’s the reason why she isn’t on every tour date. She’s doing what she has to do to stay relevant, and making money. The avenues that she is taking are quite impressive if you ask me. Think about it, she is just now starting to broaden her audience in the states. Everything that they are doing is strategically planned to work for her. It wouldn’t be in her best interest to tour by herself yet.
@plain and simple
whatsup
@PLAIN&SIMPLE I am like a little kid so excited for his concert in DC, I am driving there with a six friends because he isn’t touring near my city. I am counting down the days. Its my cousin 21st birthday so we are celebrating by touring in DC and going to this concert later. I read great reviews for Chris concert and I was on twitter while people was tweeting how great the concert is and yes I heard Kelly killed the stage.
@ WHY YOU MAD, I understand what you are saying but isn’t that very very disappointing that she cannot have her own tour after 15 years? I know it hurts to say it, for me as a fan but i can’t deny the embarrassing. i don’t care how much money she is getting or how it is helping her. it is just not a good look. TRUTH.
@Blue Kid,
I am SOOO GLAD you got to see him!! I read the reviews from the Toronto papers online and of course the tweets from his fans who all said CHRIS BROWN IS KING!! The boy tore down the stage and left tongues wagging & begging for more!! Breezy baby, that’s my boy!!
YEAH 3X to all the haters 🙂
@X,Y,”AND Z the album is not in sales in the uk yet baby and why yall on this post if yall dont like her why post about her if yall hate her i dont understand she still making money and about ciara when was the last time ci ci had a hit……. I wait…………..
@kody3x
Did you attend the Toronto show?
In any event, AHHHHHH & WOOOOOO okay, I’m calm again! LOL, I haven’t even seen him yet but I am sooooo excited! Everyone was just going on and on about the Toronto show on twitter! I heard that all of them did a good job but “KING B”….BREEZY that is, shut it completely D O W N!! 🙂
YEAH 3X HATERS!!!
@mobwife i didnt attend when he comes to my area you already know
@Independent Thinker
WTF girl bye! You and that so called twitter can take several seats! KING BREEZY did the damn thing. Funny that all of these so called Kelly Rowland fans are crawling out of the woodwork! You need to slide your triffling tails to the “record store” and buy her FLOPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE CD! I am surprised at how low her CD sells numbers are! She has nothing but positive press and everyone is in her ass all of a sudden. They need to support her damn CD.
*THE REAL KING B….BREEZY THAT IS!!
I’m excited to see the Fame Tour on the 23rd in Chicago! I’ve seen Chris before in concert, he can’t really sing but his performance will keep you entertained. This is my first time seeing Kelly and I’m VERY excited, I’ve heard she can really sing & interacts with the crowd. Also I heard she can dance her ass off! SHE YOU ON THE 23RD KELLY & CHRIS!!!
@kIMBERLY
WTF is with these crazy comments? Kelly has been in the business for 15 yrs but we all know her star was eclipsed by Beyonce! She was the one Mr. Knowles pushed while the other DC members took a “wait your turn seat”. She is doing good to be an opening act for one of the HOTTEST concerts of 2011 are you kidding me?
@ BILLY GOAT… are you serious? mathew is no where to be found. He was out from 2008/9 and kelly still has not got there yet. The public and fans are not running you know. What is taking her so long. Keep blaming mathew. Beyonce have nothing to do with Kelly’s career, if she was big of a star nothing would keep her back. stfu.
I hope people keep blaming the knowles for the rest of kelly’s life and career idiot. btw i thought kelly went solo before the other girls. guest performance/opening act lmao
MOST ANTICIPATED!!! LMAFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
LMFFAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
THIS LOOK REAL SIMPLE…SAME THING, KELLY TRIES TO SHOW SOME SKIN BY LOOKIN LIKE AN OLD GRANNY…AND WITH THE SAME DANCERS THATS MORE SEXIER THAN HER!!!!!! LOL
AND CHRIS DOIN HIS THANG BUT PERFORMING LIKE A RAPPER
TOOT MY HAT TO THEM, MORE POWER TO CHRIS BY BRINGING SOMEONE ON BOARD WHO WONT SELL A SINGLE TICKET
@Kimberly I could understand why you would say that completely, but her day will come. She has to have more hit songs catered for the American audience. She is doing exactly what she needs to be doing to make that happen.
@WHY YOU MAD? re 3:27 pm —
“She’s doing what she has to do to stay relevant, and making money.”
“Making Money”..?! How? She’s NOT selling CDs, which means she’s NOT drawing folks to see her ontour. If anything, she’s being a “drain” and causing the “Tour-F.A.M.E” money; if a tree falls in the forest, but no one is there to hear/see it, did it THEN really fall??
“Relevant”..?! How? By flashing her tits which the blogs, by-consensus judged to be “STAGED”..??
With 20-years in the game, her relevance has long-ago passed. So has her “better” days, 2002, almost now 10-years ago – her best-selling year yet!
“Think about it, she is just now starting to broaden her audience in the states.”
(Meh..) I’VE LONG “THOUGHT ABOUT IT”, this is why I’m here warning Chris, his staff, and the rest of ‘Team-Breezy’!!
“Broaden her audience”..?!
How much more of a “bully pulpit/broadness of reach” can one ask for than being in THE biggest girl group of A-L-L time? DC took Kelly Rowland to the mountain top. If you can’t capitalize on/off that, then you were never supposed to – in the first place.
“The avenues that she is taking are quite impressive if you ask me.”
“Avenues”..?! Like what, failing to capitalize on the opportunity of a lifetime? “Here I Am” is NOW available to U.K. residents via Amazon. If she was as popular, and enjoyed a “fervent following”, she’d have charted on itunes/Amazon/U.K. music charts already (see my 12:01 pm post)!
“Quite impressive if you ask me”..?! Then you’re a “commoner”, whose easily led! You’re a “little-dull butter knife” in a world of “lush-elegance and light-speed precision”..!!
“Everything that they are doing is strategically planned to work for her.”
*teeth grind* “Strategically planned”..?! OH JOY..!! From HER lips to God’s ears!! Listen, here’s where you and I are “missconnecting”.. What “NEW” thing is 30-Something Year-Old Kelly Rowland hoping to NOW show everyone? Enlighten us? Did she secretly develop a “four-octave” voice? Did she split Ciara’s ‘double helix’, and’ll now “gene-graph” Ciara’s “dancing gene” unto hers, and SHE’LL now “dance Chris into a stupor”? ..NO?! None of the above..??
The ‘march of time’ moves on. Kelly Rowland has been in the game for OVER 20-years-now! That’s right: OVER 20 YEARS! She’s “had HER time”, but she didn’t make the most of it because she wasn’t supposed to..
..What I, and the “discretionary-spending public,” are NOW coming to realize, is what Matthew Knowles ALREADY long-ago knew. It’s precisely why she AND Michelle were chosen to remain in DC – It’s exactly why Latoya AND Farrah were dismissed/removed/dislodged (choose your verb) from DC: Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams AREN’T as talented, ambitious, nor are in possession of “leading lady, front/cover-girl looks”! That final “trifecta” of DC was done by design – NOT CHANCE! Why should he chance/risk anyone else but HIS very own “golden child” with DC’s future? He didn’t, and it worked marvelously! Say what you will about Matthew Knowles, but that man “planned his work, then worked his plan”!!
Oh, BTW, here’s the continuing mournful “Here I Flop” lamentation:
http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi <– "Here I am" FIFTH week's finals are in: 8K- Units moved (NOT 10,000)..!!! So currently, after 5-LOOONG Weeks, she's at just-over 150K-Units moved!

“the album is not in sales in the uk yet baby”
Yes, it is! If you’d read the comments posted, namely what I’d post at 12:01 pm, you’d have ALREADY read/saw that link. But, there it is again: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Here-I-Am-Kelly-Rowland/dp/B0055CJ8T2

@xyz lol I haven’t taken the time to read your whole post…maybe later, but I must say we all know that CD sales aren’t the primary driving factor of what brings in revenue in 2010…well those of us who work in the music industry. This era is driven primarily by singles in the amazon m**/iTunes world. Now with that being added, it would be great to sell millions of albums and I believe that Here I Am is definitely worth of selling more than 150k, and I think that there is more to come. Obviously Kelly is generating revenue, because if she wasn’t everybody and their grandma a would know that a label wouldn’t be investing money in her the way that they are…hence her getting dropped from Colombia records. Now these words came from her own mouth so I’m just saying…
XYZ is pathetic to be going this hard against Kelly. You mad because she shits on your life. Get over it and GET A LIFE!!!!!!
OK so @xyz I just finished reading your post. Let’s not start the name calling because I’m way too much of a classy adult in person and online to do that, so keep it clean when you’re referring to me. I peeped the whole “commoner” comment, and am I no way any bodies common. No need to get worked up on a post about an artist who you don’t even know. Lol Now let me ask you this. Who’s management/creative direction/ and label was she under when those first two albums of hers didn’t do so well? I think that’s all I need to say. Just because everything didn’t work out ideally the first two times doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t get another chance. Apparently the record executives feel the same way, because they know that she can make hit records, they know that she is likeable, they know that she has a following.

@WHY YOU MAD? re: 8:07 pm —
“those of us who work in the music industry.”
Ahhh… So YOU “work in The Industry”. Interesting. Because, as you do, your next statement gives pause, if not completely bewilders and mystifies..
“Who’s management/creative direction/ and label was she under when those first two albums of hers didn’t do so well? I think that’s all I need to say.”
I’ll let RIAA do ‘that needs to be said’..
(artist)ROWLAND, KELLY (title)SIMPLY DEEP (release date)OCTOBER 22, 2002 (certification date)DECEMBER 05, 2002 (label)COLUMBIA (certification)GOLD (format)ALBUM (category)SOLO
Lest we forget, she was under Matthew Knowles..
Also.. If an artist isn’t moving CDs, how’s the Label to be reimbursed, if not “returned a profit”? Do tell! The only way that I can see, is if the artist-THEMSELF is paying for the videos and whatever! Or, they’ve entered into the same agreement Def Jam has with Rihanna: “360 contract”. In this way, even IF she a “singles artist”, they (Label) has ‘revenue streams’ to tap into to return the invested sums (which brought the CD to market); if not a profit.
“Obviously Kelly is generating revenue, because if she wasn’t everybody and their grandma a would know that a label wouldn’t be investing money in her the way that they are.”
Really..???!!!! 150-K Units after Five-LONG weeks..?? Somebody’s “Grandma” is about to go bankrupt! Somebody’s “Grandma” should have done their research:
2002 – Simply Deep: 77K- first week and 600K in-total U.S. sales. 2-Million WW
2007 – Ms. Kelly: 86K- first week, (brace yourself) 220K in-total U.S. sales. 1.2-Million WW
2011 – Here I Am: 77K – first week, 150-K Units after FIFTH WEEK…
Do YOU not see a trend of “diminished returns”? And, might I remind you, in 2002, she had the “public’s sentiment” of “longing for/of DC”, as then, their temporary break-up was announced, which added a buzz to “Simply Deep”. But obviously, it…(wait for it)..”simply failed”!
30-Something-Year-Old Kelly Rowland is a “non-performing entity” whose “expiration date” has long (some 10-years ago) passed! Her “lack of talent(s)/ambition”, is what KEPT her in DC. Her “lack of talent(s)” is what’s NOW keeping her “marginalized” and nothing more than a “gimmick”!
