    Nah. Kelly dropped him in 2009, and Beyonce dropped him only this year. Years after Freemasons started working with them.

    Were they not "estranged" for years?

    Nope. He's Beyonce's father, and Kelly's uncle.

    Yeah promotion had something to do with it, but generally, it just feels like the US just aren't feeling Kelly.

    Jlo finally got a hit after years of trying with 'On The Floor', but it could all be down to the song. It went to No.1 on iTunes around the world, therefore can't all be down to American Idol. People just loved the song. Maybe Kelly just needs to get the right song or may she isn't meant to be a massive star in the US.

    She needs to be more out-there with her personality. Currently people are just indifferent to her. She needs to jump onto a show like Dancing With The Stars or even Idol, if J.Lo calls it quits.

    Kelly is BORING and can't sell records over here.

    Yeah that would help, I just wouldn't want her to become one of those singers who aren't famous for singing anymore. If she is on this show then hopefully she'll get to perform, seeing as her album should be out around the same time. She should go all out and show people how talented she is. She has the ability.

    I'd generally love to see her perform more.

    Not true. She's had 7 top10's over here, two being a No.1 hits and a No.1 platinum album. She just needs to right songs.

    It's depressing that dance music isn't regarded highly. Kelly has certainly made a personal impact in Europe.

    I've got to look that up because she doesn't seem to be popular here but of course I could be wrong. She still puts me to sleep though....:sleep:

    How old are you, over 40? If so, of course. It's not what your peers are into.

    Yeah I agree, seeing as that's the genre she seems to be really good at. I still like her R&B stuff, but the rest of the public seem not to. A killer ballad from her would be great though at some point.

    I can see why some may call her boring, although I don't think she is. I love her personality. She's sweet and bubbly. She never has any personal drama or does things to try and shock people so you never seem to see her in news papers and in the media that much etc.

    Mike, I looked on Wikipedia and stand corrected. I see she has had some success here. Thanks for the info.

    That's ok :). I know her success recently hasn't been mind blowing or anything, but I still think she has more to give. Who knows, maybe she can change your opinion of her at some point :).

    Hopefully because I want to like her but I just haven't been able to get into to her. But sadly, I like the XFactor so I'll see what she has to say because she does seem sweet.:)

    She's too american, remember that odious other member of Destiny's Child on 'Strictly' last year?

    What does "too American" mean?

    Try not to generalise, I think the majority of people will warm to her.

    Katy Perry, Nicole, Natalie Imbruglia did well last year didn't they?

    it's gonna depend on the acts she choose as to how well she does. If she gets the groups she will disappear into the background. Would be really good for her to get the girls or the Overs imo

    Excuse me. I'm 40 and most of my friends are older and most of us are into soul, r&b and dance music.

    Over 40 doesn't mean Radio 2, slippers and horlicks

    Bit of a stupid thing to say she is too American the OP sounds like a rascist fool.

    Is nicole S not american too she has done far less then kelly has. Does she sound too american too.

    end of the day if she bores you don't watch the show.

    I didn't find Michelle "odious" on Strictly at all, so I'm not sure what you mean by that? Until Kelly starts judging on X Factor no one really knows for sure what she's going to be like.

    Tweedy didn't connect with viewers either. Yes, females thought she was pretty and watched for her apparent style, but her comments were common, the crocodile tears got her votes and in the later seasons she became so arrogant and was so stuck up Cowell's backside I'm sure she gets her post delivered there. Miss Rowland and if fact anyone with experience in the industry would be better than her. Kelly seems like a personable girl.

    I think Kelly will be perfect for any category. I mean, I can't see Tulisa getting the Overs o_0

    How was Michelle Williams odious. Do you know the meaning of the word. As you have 6 posts you're probably an attention seeking troll

    Baby I was someone on here before I got banned after 1,200+ posts.:p

    And yes I am an attention seeker.
