There is no doubt that this era of Beyonce‘s career will certainly go down in history of being one of her most open and candid.
For after publicy addressing issues that she may not have even acknowledged in previous years, Mrs. Carter has gone onto make a statement that will be sure to strike up lengthy debate everywhere.
Things really do appear to have come full circle for a certain Kelly Rowland.
It’s almost 4 years to the day that the songbird unleashed her sophomore set ‘Ms. Kelly’ on the marketplace. As history goes; political and managerial mishaps unfortunately sunk that ship. As such, Rowland was seemingly cast to a fate as the lesser child of Destiny.
Fast forward to today, and the climate looks altogether different for the singer. Having severed ties with manager Mathew Knowles in 2009, her career has climbed from strength to strength. Indeed, the time since then has seen her notch up heightened success Internationally, land a role as a judge on the UK’s X Factor, and – perhaps most notably – score her biggest Stateside hit to date with the sizzling ‘Motivation’.
Hoping to legitimate this success, the 30 year old lined up an all-star cast of songwriters and producers to craft her third studio album ‘Here I Am’.
With past efforts not hitting the commercial strides they, perhaps, should have, will it be third time lucky for the songstress?
Though ‘American Idol’ has been a ratings winner since its debut in the early 2000s, some of the show’s alums have been ‘winning’ in other ways.

Although the alums featured on the list nearly brought in a whopping $50 million collectively, see who came out on top after the jump:
As R&B/dance commander Kelly Rowland is gearing up for a heavy promotional push of her July 26th slated ‘Here I Am’ album, the singer spoke with BET.com to address one of the week’s biggest headlines.
Famed producer Jeff Bhasker, whose production credits include work on R&B leading ladies’ Alicia Keys and former bandmate Beyonce (‘4’) albums, took to Twitter to say:
As reported here, R&B sensation Chris Brown shouldn’t look for any fans in the Fox News newsroom. The star was the brunt of an 8-minute segment, hosted by author Laura Ingraham, slamming NBC for support of the singer on his record setting ‘Today Show’ appearance.
When Brown took to Twitter to respond, fellow Hip-Hop star 50 cent took to the ‘Look At Me Now’ singer’s defense. As the story gained momentum in the blog-o-sphere, Fox News responded:
Can you guess which dashing diva jet-setted across the globe to pocket a cool $1 million for a short set of performances? There may be a hint of irony in the appearance.
Hint: Her biggest hit this year has over 300 million views on Youtube, besting both Gaga and Rihanna. Find out who after the jump:
Mary J. Blige may be one of music’s reigning queens, but as her ‘Behind the Music’ special will reveal, her story has not exactly been a fairytale.
