A husky-voiced Kelly Rowland hit stage at the PokerStars VIP Party at Paradise Harbour in Nassau, The Bahamas over the weekend. The singer performed her international hit ‘When Love Takes Over’. Rowland is currently working on her forthcoming studio album which hits stores later this year.
Clearly Rowland’s voice has seen much better days. It’s safe to say that her hard work in the studio is undoubtedly the reason for her vocal issues at the event. However, although she struggled through the verses, she handled the belting in the chorus quite well and engaged the crowd like a pro.
Sidebar: Is Rowland looking more muscular or is it just me? Looks like somebody’s been working on improving her game both musically and physically. I ain’t mad at you Kelly!

but the great announcement abour her???
lol trent…if her performance was bad just say so…you talk as if you have been in the studio with her..lol NOT…
cant wait to hear what she drops..if i where i would go for an international sound..
Stop making excuses for her! Kelly’s vocals have never been consistently strong. You say she’s improved lately but I can’t tell by this performance. I think she’s better off in a group where she doesn’t have to perform the whole song by herself. This performance was not all that, just as I expected.
I’ve never seen her deliver consistently good live performances. I agree with one of the other posts about making excuses for her, last time it was the equipment right? Anyway, I do hope she has success with her new album.
think she has finally figured out how to give it her all without over doin it and straining – the attitude was def there the vocals were on and she gave just enuff energy to get the job done – i so love her – the crowd sucked but looking at the audience – middled aged parents lol i really didnt expect them to go crazy – ms kelly is here nd i ready – i am too – WORK MS KELLY!!!!
She will^ , u know wat it kills me when some one has a bad day or bad performance people are all on it gtf over it she’s f****** human for crying out loud!!!!!!
Hey just though I’d let you know that the event was held at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. You can say in Nassau, Bahamas though.
ps kelly isnt making excuses for herself so dont blame her for it – she is doing her right now and her true fans will support her no mater what – if she chose to deliver the song this way on this night then so be it – its her song – u can either listen to it or ont – plus this is the millionth tyme she has performed this track so take ya pic of ya fav and listen to it – its a wonder y an artist has to prove themselves to someone who is porbably at home with nothing else better to do then to crtiicize someones every step or action – ppl even have problems with beyonce vocals and she is considered the best just aas whitneys and mariah – rihanna ciara -just enjoy the music and be happy – if u have an open mind then u will see the bigger picture – if u already come in to hate then of course ur not going to like her or the performance!
not a stan but this is very beyonce and not her better part either. also, wtf is she wearing
i hope all this pays off. she looks gorgeous nonetheless!
oh is she a singer??? She is beautiful but does she sing well Live? I thought that was needed to be considered talented!
I LOVE KELLY BUT SHE LOOKS A HOT ASS MESS AND SOUNDZ HORRIBLE MAYBE SHE SHOULD HAVE LYP SYNCHED IT
o mez ur cute – not – see rihanna and then reread your comment
Get her some hot tea and she will be fine….. I HOPE!….
I LOVE KELLY BUT SHE SOUNDS A MESS! LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
i love how it is “clearly” because of the “hard work in the studio” that has her voice sounding like s***
LMAO HAHAHAH
this site is soooo f’n biased
if it were mariah, it would be because she has lost her voice.
I love Kelly but she sounded HORRIBLE!!! And she was trying her best to conjure up Sasha Fierce but failed.
I dont think she sound bad now..their a big difference..lol
u can clearly tell that she is sick or getiin over a cold,…come on now!! ya’ll know she can sing…
everything about this was a little off for me: make-up, weave, vocals.
she’s crazy talented, so i’m sure she’ll kill it next time
we all have bad days
I agree wit lyric_lee all the way…ppl have bad days and if u come in here tryna hate on kelly or already have your mind set then of course ur going to see the bad…now im not gonna sit here and say that this was her best performance because it wasnt, but im not gonna sit here and say she can sing…because obviously kelly has proved herself as a singer time and time again (i.e multiple other performances of WLTO, Endless love, etc…) Kelly is a vocal powerhouse and has her share of good and bads as with every other artist…Even BEYONCE has her bad performances….and dont come and say she doesnt….but nobody ever says anything about her…But as Ive stated b4 Kelly is here to stay and she will prove…But keep hatin cuz thats her motivation and thats wat will light her fire…Hate hate hate cuz when u hate u got her in ur mind and u are viewing her videos to comment and hate which means that she is doin something right….no thought is bad but ANY thought keeps her motivated and around….So I jus have to say THANK YOU HATERS for the support you give to our girl KELLY
PREACH MEECHY05! It’s true she’s never had CONSISTENT vocal performances, but the one day she has a bad day, people want to act like she can’t sing or something, SIT THE F*** DOWN! It’s clear that she’s handled this song before exceptionally time & time after time, & lord knows she’s performed this song like a billion times, so it’s not so easy to keep the same stamina, vocal quality of her voice. KEEP PUSHIN KELLY, CAN’T WAIT TILL THE NEW ALBUM RELEASES.
NOW IF THAT WAS RIHANNA::::
FUCKA
We all know Kelly can sing/..But Like somebody said before, she isn’t consistant with her live shows. Did anybody ever go to a DC concert? Whenever it was Kelly’s solo portion of the show, she sounded tired.
Honestly, as nice as her voice is, Kelly isn’t a great live performer. She is better in the studio.
Good performance. I enjoyed it. I just love seeing her perform live. Aww…she did sound kinda tired though. Ya’ll be nice!!! … keep supporting her and keep her in your prayers. We know she can do it. This is her year!
Go Kelly!!!
Let he/she who has never made a mistake more than once cast d first stone…by d way my girl luks real fit.
The b**** was clearly sick.
A hot ass mess from H2T. Vocals have never impressed or inspired me. Clearly does she have a vocal coach, she should invest in one. Rhianna has had better vocal showing than this dried up, late, tired woman by the name of Kelendria Rowland. Who the f*** is doing her hair now a days. She use to have those tracks and front lace wigs on point in her DC days. I guess bye bye to her Beyonce’ crutch as noted. (Side Bar: is it me or has Michelle become more popular than Kelly. She is acting and doing photo shoots with exclusive photographers. She is part owner of a WNBA team. She really managed the coins she made with DC to work in her favor. Kudos to her and she can give you a live vocal without sounding s*****)
HATERS
Lmfao.
Beyonce Stans always got to drag Kelly, for what?
Kelly always sound a mess live IMO but she tries her hardest. She never really performed b4. She is catching up and it may take a little time but she’ll get there.
she sounds like an OLD billy goat.
she looks like a drag queen!
I think jer voice is getting better, but for heavens sake Kelly, burn that f****** wig and those tarantula eyelashes gawd!
I dont usually comment but i have to this time
Anyone who knows about singing and vocalists should know that recording your record doesn’t make you horse
her problems with her vocals is that she knows she isnt that good so when shes on stage it make it worse because she struggles to get the easy notes.
none of her song her vocally difficult so there is no reason why she should be able to sing it
It’s obvious that she was sick. Her voice was definately hoarse and huskier than usual. However there have been plenty of times when she’s knocked this song out of the park so no one should be questioning her singing abilities. Especially since this is a very difficult song to sing(ZENGURU). She belts the ENTIRE song. This song requires power(lots of power) perfect pitch,breath control and stamina. I’d like to hear anyone of her critics deliver it better than she can. This was not a good performance as far as vocals were concerned because Kelly’s voice clearly needs rest but I give her props for performing live despite the state she was in. She could have and it probably would have served her better to sing to a backing track or cancelled all together;but if she had lipsynched you all would be talking yang about that and when you’ve been booked for an appearance or a show a cancellation just does not look good so you should not do it unless you absolutely have to. Kelly is the consumate professional and I’m sure she’ll bounce back in no time so long as she takes the time that she needs to get well and be the best that she can be vocally.
Awwwww Kell’s! U can tell she’s been using her voice cause when she blows, the girl blows. I didn’t like her hair or her outfit really. No worries Kell’s lets put this in the bag w/ bad performances.
The problem with this b**** is that her vocals are very inconsistent…. Unlike by girl Cassie who tears it down everytime….
LMAOOOOOOOO @SAMMY CASSIE WHO???????? KELLY >>>>>>>>>CASSIE ALWAYS AND FOREVER…
Cassie??????? Really shouldnt ever be mentions that hal shaved head s*** look like the b**** lost a fight wit a weed whacker…really wat promo or sales can u get from a bald spot on half ur head….Cassie need to sit down now and forever
