  6. muni October 18, 2011

    Look them haters you are welcome!!! Kelly is slaying so effortless and u mad I know If she wasnt my fave I would be mad too!!!

  7. Down for flopping October 18, 2011

    Here i am hasn’t even sold up to 300,000copies yet. Lay it on me is flopping bad. Now i truly believe it when people say kelly made motivation 10% and wayne made it 90%. The problem with Kelly’s label is that they think after motivation people are really checking for kelly Rowland. Based on her album sales and her current single, people aren’t checking for her.

    Who potrudes s** in everything and still can’t move album units only kelly flopland.
    I don’t believe she would ever build a fan base. May be broke black stripper fan base that would not spend a dime on her s***.

    Also if Kelly single DOwn for whatever becomes a hit, i will drink bleach. I honestly believe it will be another forever and a day . Nothing major.

    If you think of it “MOTIVATION” wasn’t huge. It was just huge on Urban charts and to be honest anything urban is rlow budget. She couldn’t get a TOP10 on BB100 or even TOP 20 on pop. I still think the success of Motivation is overrated.

    ….. But hell if hr dream was to shut down BET awards lmao.
    Rihanna, Bey, Gaga dream of Grammys. Kelly dreams of BET awards smh.

  8. mhud October 18, 2011

    im so f****** ready for my beauty queen kelly rowland..who cares what the haters are saying.

  9. KD October 18, 2011

    Ughh! I wish she would retire the leotard (same goes for Bey) and the whole “I’m S*** and I want to flaunt IT” phase she is going through.

    I sincerely wish more BLACK artists would put more thought into their video’s.

  10. jay October 18, 2011

  13. Aubrey Beyince Harper October 18, 2011

    Just found out Sarah Chatfield did Wynter Gordon’s Believer smh this director can’t come up with anything original anymore Kelly needs to drop her because its making it seem like Kelly is stealing and she is not, the Director just doesn’t want to create something so just reaches into past video concepts and gives it to Kelly thats messed up

  14. Toya October 18, 2011

  28. LA October 18, 2011

    Kelly you better do it!….#werk

  29. 80sBaby October 18, 2011

    Well the stills look promising. I’ll reserve judgement until the actual video premieres.

    @LoveOnTop- I don’t even want to click on that link, but if it’s true that this video was “inspired” by another Sarah Chatfield video, then Kelly needs to hand Sarah her pink slip asap. Sarah’s doing too much recycling, and it makes Kelly look unoriginal and uninspired when it comes to her own videos.

    @DownForFlopping- You are the epitome of a hater. A hater claims to not like an artist, then reserves precious time from their day to write thesis statements about said artists album and single sales, their latest work, and even quotes their interviews. Who does that!? A jealous stan, that’s who!

    Also, if no one is checking for Kelly, why does Lay It On Me have 7 million views on youtube already? It only premiered 6 or 7 days ago. That’s a million views a day. Go sit down!

  30. Official Music Junkie October 18, 2011

    Ermmm!!!!!! Okay people are saying Kelly is a flop… how, why, when and where? Kelly was one of the “first” urban artists to jump on the euro pop sound with D Guetta and when she did, she slayed on the charts. Now that she is focusing more on a R&B sound she isn’t doing as well, (NOTE – I said not as well, not flop) and that is simply because R&B is no longer in fashion, everyone is down for that bubble gum eruo pop sound. Plus she is a beautiful woman who is doing her thing so leave her be.

  31. diva October 18, 2011

    wow 7 million views…ok get it Miss Kelly..love this stills i cannot wait for the video

  32. Dezi October 18, 2011

    Why is it that anything that’s associated with urban is low budget? I bet a black person said that s***. Motivation was a hit on the urban charts … so what? Some people will never see a hit in their life.

  33. ANNONYMOUS October 18, 2011

    Kelly should have released videos when her album first came out…people have forgotten about her songs now.

  34. ReFresz October 18, 2011

    Kelis 2.0 welcome 😀

  35. ReFresz October 18, 2011

    BTW is she going to use new version on video anyone?

  36. Alex Thomas October 18, 2011

    i love it!!!!! ‘Commander’ was massive in Europ and it topped the US Hot/Dance Club songs!! To say ‘Motivation’ was a hit because of Lil Wayne is pure rubbish. Kelly sings about 99% of the song and Lil Wayne does a short rap verse?? If it was Lil Wayne’s song, it would’ve been on his album.

    ‘Down For Whatever’ will be another Top 10 hit for Ms. Rowland and for the people saying that ‘Lay It On Me’ is flopping, it has amassed over 7 million views on YouTube, while Beyonce struggles on 5 million. Sit down haters.

  37. Beyonce ain’t s*** October 18, 2011

    Everybody keep hatin on Kelly let this girl do her thang where you at? Prolly a cashier at Walmart… Her album is by far not a flop if you wanna talk about flops let’s get on beyonces low record sales until she flaunted this “baby bump” which made the kids go cop her whack ass album… She sampled all of her music and that dumb ass countdown video… And love on top really beyonce? Beautiful song but whack ass LOW BUDGET video it’s time for Kelly to shine so haters sit back and take fade

  38. EdwardPonton October 18, 2011

    Why does Beyonce name always have to come up in a Kelly Thread? Smh. Im excited for the video, I hope it’s as fun as the song.

  39. why you mad? October 18, 2011

    So if Motivation was such a huge flop, someone please tell me why it was purchased over one million times, which is platinum status, and why does its accompanying video have over 40 million views? Just saying!

  40. GLYNNJE October 18, 2011

    Fierce. Yasssssssssssssssss kelly work!!!!!! I want the video this minuite!!!! Haters stay pressed. This is woman of the hour. You will deal.

    KELLY STEALS FROM HER SOUND, STYLE AND CONVERSATION”THE WAY SHE TALKS”

    DONT IGNORE THAT

    JUST STATING FACTUAL INFORMATION!!!!!!

  43. semihater October 18, 2011

    agree with everyone sayin fire sarah chatfield- director’s definitely gonna resuse another one of her videos- and this one’s gonna look even worse cause people in the UK watch Freemason videos compared to the US where that Livvi Franc video didn’t get played too much.

    And for everyone hatin on Kelly using her sexuality- she’s on her cougar grind and I’m feelin it. I’d let her seduce me and then some.

  44. K ANDB4EVER October 18, 2011

    @CALL ME HATERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR……

    LOL that must be the biggest joke of the decade “KELLY STEALS FROM HER SOUND, STYLE AND CONVERSATION”THE WAY SHE TALKS” i guess you have Never listened to the way Kelly conducts herself in an interview as opposed to Beyonce.

    Kelly speaks and sounds way better and much more intellegent than Beyonce..lets not forget Beyonce still says “Algeba”

  48. VA STAND UP!!! October 18, 2011

    These look very interesting and she always looks good in her videos. Her s** appeal is on like a million these days, but her videos are always just ….cute. ‘Motivation’ has definitely been her best video from this era. I’m pretty sure she is working on a low budget now since her album didn’t perform too well so I guess we don’t have too much to look forward too from her new videos. *shrugs*

    You can’t really judge a video from some still shots anyways so we’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out. I’m looking forward too it.

    I guess she isn’t gonna release ‘I’m that Chick’ as a single. I had high hopes for that song. *sighs*

  49. vicious vixen October 18, 2011

    She looks gorgeous in these pics.

    S/N is that a basketball net on her face?

  50. Ej October 18, 2011

    Serving up many flavors of flop I see

  51. iSimplyDGAF October 18, 2011

    Im not a fan of the video..I will give her her proprs for trying to do something different from what she usually does. I think she needs to concentrate more on pushing her album sales…and touring…cause thats how her money is going to come in. I understand shes probably still spending Destiny’s Child money from 1999…but if its longevity shes after..shes going to have to come harder that that.

  52. X,Y,”and Z” October 18, 2011

    *Matthew Knowles speaks to Kelly Rowland’s X fiance, Roy Williams, circa late-2004*

    Roy, “cellulite” is only..”fat”! You know, like “love fat”?? Every woman has some! You like Cottage Cheese with your salad, don’t you? I know I do!

    Matthew, I’m not sure I follow you. What you mean??

    Listen Roy…just listen.. A “weave” isn’t all..THAT bad, you know? It sure beats the alternative. Do you really want to look over, at your gushing soon-to-be bride, and see “male-pattern baldness”: hairline..LIKE YOURS? TRUST; NO, you don’t! And don’t worry ’bout that flat-pancake a**. They’ve got those “cut” jeans, and ‘g-strings’ that’ll fix all that. Now that “pre-pubescent chest” of hers.. Well, I’ve been reading ’bout all the medical miracles they’re-all now doing.

    Well, Matthew, I know.. I guess.. But at the very least, there’s..”talent”. She’s ‘talented’ yes? I mean, that’s why Destiny’s Child sold as they did/have, right?

    Er…Roy, well.. (sigh) Listen, have a seat, right here, beside me. Son, you see, you’re “getting it twisted”, DC IS my daughter, and ONLY my daughter’s “platform.” That’s precisely why I had to get rid of that uppity Latoya, and Farrah. I didn’t want ANYONE to even attempt to outshine MY Bey — I WASN’T HAVING IT! THEM B****** HAD TO GO..!! Roy, didn’t you see the ‘Simply Deep’ first week’s numbers? ..IT SUCKED RUSTY FART-ASS!! She only moved 77K, and then it ONLY did 600K U.S., 2-Million WW; given ALL ‘that money’ we pumped into her promotion: “Simply Deep” was “Simply A Mess”!! Look, both Kelly and Michelle were “life-sized human-cardboard cutouts” for MY BEY to dance, sing and outshine. That’s why I kept ’em in DC: two “skinny scarecrows” for the “Caressable, Irrepressible Creole” to dance and sing around; get it..??

    OMG, Matthew! What am I getting myself into..??

    Look, Roy, I only want to let YOU know what’s up, you seem like a good dude. Roy!! Where are you going?? Why are you running towards the door like that..??

    Er..er.. Matthew, I gotta go to a..a..a ‘team prayer’.. Then I gotta have a talk with God! PEACE..

    ISHMAEL

  53. Yeeeah! i hate rihanna… so whaaat?!(AKA GAAGLOO) B******!! October 18, 2011

    Très s*** et sophestiquée Kelly, j’adore!!!

  54. kellywillovercome October 18, 2011

    HATERS TAKE SEVERAL SEATS!! @XYZ—> U REALLY LOVE KELLYROWLAND BECAUSE U KNOW MORE ABOUT HER THAN I DO.

    ANYWAY, THE GIRL IS TRYING. SHE HAS TOO MANY THINGS ON HER PLATE. RIGHT NOW BUT I WON’T BASH HER FOR NOT GIVING UP!!!!

  55. fiba October 18, 2011

    Kelly is doing her thing I saw the stills and like to have died. She is making me proud no other woman from DC aside from beyonce and has ever had this much press! and thats big. you can say whatever you wantabout Kellys album sales she’ll get their one day. she never just faded in to black she’s always been around she has a lot of ambition and its wonderful to see her getting the attention she always deserved I dont care if quit singing and became a stipper at magic city. No one or nothing can take away her class she’s amazing and one day you haterz will realize it.

    I cant see why some people cant like more than one artist. I couldnt listen to one person all day everyday I know you all want your fav to get allthe accolades and be known as the top dog. so you envy other beautiful and talented women because you see them as a threat. but its not about all of that maybe if you all just enjoyed the music the industry wouldnt be as f***** up as it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    kelly4life

  56. B_STANNING AND LOVING ADELE October 18, 2011

    Beyonce and Kels love one another so all the arguing can be done away with. the s*** is childish.
