Laura Prudom: 'American Idol' Recap: The Final Three…
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Well hot damn.
Almost a year after plans were shelved to release her anticipated solo sophomore opus, Music World/Columbia Records has announced that Kelly Rowland has a new date underway.
Titled 'Miss Kelly,' the set is scheduled to arrive in stores June 26 and feature collaborations with platinum-plated hip-hop superstars Snoop Dogg and Eve.
'Like This' (featuring Eve) has already garnered a listening audience of five million across the country, a label rep confirmed. The track is officially slated to impact Urban/Rhythm radio March 27 and Top 40 April 17.
The Snoop collaboration is titled 'Ghetto,' and is on deck to be the second single to bow from the set.
"I have put my heart and soul into this record," Rowland, who recently served as a guest host of 'The View.' "I am excited that everyone will hear it. I am completely exposed. It's the real me."
'Ms. Kelly' is the long-awaited follow-up to the Destiny's Child gold-selling 2002 debut, 'Simply Deep,' which peaked at #3 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart, and included the smash hit, 'Dilemma,' (a duet with the rapper Nelly). Earning the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, the Patti LaBelle-sampled song spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100.

I think Kelly is very talented. Bey is overrated. Kelly needs to be more confident with her abilities. She has what it takes, but is so unsure of herself. I think that she was the better singer of destiny child. Kelly, stop taking a backseat to bey, you have a much better range than she does. Use it and find yourself new management. Someone who is looking our for your best interest. Current mgmt. will always put you second to bey. Wake up GIRLFRIEND. GOOD LUCK

Kelly actually sounds like Beyuonce with a lighter range and not as much power, but to say she is talentless is a stretch. She definetly sings better than Michelle and Ashanti. But if she never sings another note she doesn't have to, because she is a part of the Multi million, diamond star destiny's child. And how many has B sold seperately, and in DC3 as a group?

I agree with Chuck, I always thought Kelly was the better singer of the group, not taking away anything from Bey or Michelle. Really listen to Bey sing live, I mean really, listen. Her voice is not that strong and her range isn't either. Compare her live songs with her cd's and compare them, there is a big difference. That show you what a studio can do (this comes from people who works in a studir). Remember when Bey and Jennifer sang "Listen", who had the stronger voice. Not comparing the two because they are different singers, but really listen. By the way, I am not jealous, I love Bey and besides,I am from old school.

It's about time! I just hope she does well and finds a new team of managers who will spend as much time and effort on her needed.You know sometimes when you work with friends and so called family it is best to set up shop else where, you deserve it.

Hey Kelly,
I really enjoyed your song "Like This", it was fresh. I am so tired of Beyonce. Everyone acts like there are no other great singers out there. I was glad when Jennifer Hudson had gotten the recognition that she got over Bey. Even though she needs to learn how to be humble. Now it is your turn, go do what you do best. From what I heard of your song " Like This", you were the best singer in Destiny Child. Go get Jermaine Dupree or Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis or someone else who will make you the star that you really are. Bey's dad is afraid you will take the spotlight from Bey, that is why he is not promoting you as he should. As far as Michelle, she is a big hypocrite. She doesn't know who she wants to serve. You can't serve two masters. You are going to love the one and hate the other. You can't straddle the fence. The same way Bey acted with the group in Dreamgirls, I believe whole heartily that she acted the same way with Destiny's Child, as quiet as it's kept. Read between the lines when you watch the movie peoples. Beyonce has a takeover spirit. She tries to act humble, but she really is a phony. Go out there and shine Kelly as the star you really are. They sabatoge your first album, don't let them sabatoge your career. Love You Kelly.

OK, YOU ALL REALLY GOT IT TWISTED....I AGREE KELLY'S FIRST ALBUM WASNT AS GOOD, BUT SHE DEFINITLY CAN SING...SOMETIMES ITS THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE PRODUCING AND WRITING FOR YOU, I THINK THE PUBLIC IS SLEEPING ON HER TALENT, ****THE GIRL CAN SING**** ITS JUST THE HYPE IS ALL ON BEYONCE(AND IM SICK OF HER) I LOVE THE NEW SONG..
SHE NEEDS TO LET GO OF THE KNOWLES AND BRANCH OUT AND GET HER OWN GLAM SQUAD TO HELP HER WITH A HIT C.D. SO KEEP YA HEAD UP GIRL, BIG THINGS ARE TO COME FOR YOU.
A TRUE FAN...

It's about time. I was a little worried that Kelly's cd would never see the light of day. I'm glad that she is finally getting the chance to shine.

I'm glad to finally hear something new from Miss Kelly. I've always thought she was the prettiest, the best singer, and the most down to earth from DC. I just wish she would claim it. In order to do that she needs to seek new management because daddy is always going to look out for his girl. That's why they are releasing that silly B-day album again (jealous of Miss Jennifer getting so much well deserved attention from the movie). I didn't like it the first time and I know I won't like it the second time. It is like taking old, stale, nasty, sour milk out of the fridge and expecting it to taste better because it sat for awhile. Duh! It doesn't get better, if anything it gets worse. I'm sorry this is about Kelly isn't it? What I'm trying to say is Miss Kelly is the better talent, always has been and always will be. Notice I didn't mention Michelle. It isn't even necessary. The girl can't sing. And Ashanti who? Does she even try to sing anymore? Does she even have a record label? May Nelly will put her on his, but then again he's a much better businessman than that. Ahh baby.
