I think she deserves and appreciation thread, she's been very hit and miss in the past, but is now solidly building a sound for her that isn't Beyoncé/Destiny's Child, but her own.

Commander is another awesome Summer Tune (not quite When Love Takes Over, but still great) and it seems this will be her follow up as it's released to US stations

I Like it.

Any other fans of Ms Kelly?

I love Commander too. I'm definitely buying her album when it comes out.

She's releasing 2 single in the US. The other one is called 'Grown Ass Woman'. I really like it.

Also loving 'On & On (The Sound)

I'm a massive Beyonce fan but have to admit i was never really into Kelly until she released Work - one of my favourite songs of 2008. I did hear the original Ms Kelly version though, i'm so glad it got remixed!

I loved WLTO and Commander is fantastic! I saw her perform it on Graham Norton last week and downloaded it the following day. She really does suit the whole dance scene. I'm really looking forward to seeing what she does next.

Commander is really cool, and her performance on Graham Norton was great, but i think the Freemasons version of Work is probably her best.

Stole is still my favourite Kelly single, but Commander is brilliant too and I'm looking forward to this album!

Mee I love her! So talented, amazing songs, beautiful and such a lovely person. What's not to like

Stole is my favourite too, but there are so many album songs off Ms Kelly that I adoree. Unity, Still in love with my ex etc are so beautiful.

And how good was she on Graham Norton!

I like Stole too. Been a while since I've listened to it actually. I like Can't Nobody to (her second solo single).

I didn't like her the Freemasons version of Work. I Must be the only one. I mean it was alright but one of my least favorite songs from hers.

Anyone remember 'Train On A Track'? I liked that too.

I loved the Ms Kelly album. Unfortunately, there wasn't really a strong lead and I didn't really like 'like this'.. loved and still love SILWMX. They botched up the rerelease by removing the fan favourites/best tracks. Unity is really pretty too.

I do like Kelly but her albums are poor while her singles rock so i will glady pick up her potential GH

Stole is my fav song. I love the words, the video and the story. I also love Dilemma which is an absolute classic. I used to love Like this but got bored. I love Work which should of been a huge hit in the US. Commander hasn't really made me love it loads but i am looking forward to trying her new album out as she could suprise me.

Oh you just reminded me that her and Nelly are apparently recording a follow up to Dilemma, I'm sure I read it on here a while back, not sure if it's for his or her album. I doubt it'll be a direct follow on, more likely just building hype about another duet between the pair, but I would love it if it was a follow on.

I love when I'm listening to Kelly on Random and Stole comes on, I prefer her dance sound, I think she's one of the best in that genre because she's got the tunes WITH a strong live vocal that most acts in that genre don't tend to have (like I love Cascada but wouldn't consider going to a Cascada Gig like I would a Kelly gig.)

I hope her album will be her proper, official arrival. As has been said she's had the big singles, quite a lot of them really, but never the full album to back it up. I hope her self-titled one will be that album

Also, I love Train on a Track and Can't Nobody as well.

Like This is probably my least favourite track, but it's still listenable, just not a track I'd jump to and start playing. More like a song that comes on randomly that I just wouldn't skip.

Kelly has to bring it on live performances for her new era. She tends to mess up on live performances many times especially on award shows, i don't know if it's nerves but she has said before that she struggled to perform alone without the girls, she has to be on her game vocally from now on.

i am definately a fan of ms Rowland! i like some DC songs but not really a fan of their's and cannot really stand too many beyonce songs as they're ALL too similar and for me it's Sweet Dreams and Upgrade U that i can listen too and enjoy!

Kelly is different and has that soul girl meets bionic woman vibe about her, When Love Takes Over won me over! and Commander is just TUUUNE! so yeah will be buying her album this year after i have MIA's and Janelle Monae's have been impressed with the albums this year i must say.
Plastic Beach,Bionic,Lights,Body Talk,Flesh Tone,Animal to name a few of the greatest albums this year so kelly should definately rank with those albums.

It's a Kelly thread not Beyonce's

You really have a thing against Beyonce, always having a dig at her, oh well.

-----------

Do you guys think she might have a tour for her new album? I'd love to see her give a UK tour or team up with an artist.

just comparing dear i prefer kelly as she's got STYLLE!! and i like the direction she's going in, nothing against Bey as a person, i like her live and all but i dunno not as experimenting with genres really.

Kelly is almighty! and i hope she promotes the album and make sure many hear about it! could be a huge smash this summer, when is it released???

I really like 'Like This'. Played it a lot when It first came out. However I was suprised when it went to No.4.

I think I read somewhere the albums out in september. I could be wrong though.

I think kelly Rowland can be quite hit and miss with live performances. I always enjoy them though. The live performance she's done lately have been really good so I think she'll bring it with the vocals this time round. I really hope the album does well.

Some people seem to think the second one is awful. I think it's alright. It stands out more to me than the first one.
