it's understandable I mean it had to be tough for her to not have the same kind of success Beyonce has had. Kelly has had minor hits here and there but she's not the icon Beyonce has become.

June 18. I'll be checking for it!

Terrible to hear she is an abuse survivor. Hope she's in a better place now and that statements like this give listeners going through similar crises some degree of comfort and the inspiration to safely leave their situations.

Heretofore her singles have been overburdened by wearisome sexualized clichés.

I have zero excitement for her next album.

Kellys main problem is she tries to hard to be like Beyonce instead of just being "Kelly". Unfornately that is going to be the result of her career demise if she doesnt change her formula quick. I hope she does because Ive always liked her. Maybe with this album she might bring something different

I always laugh when people say that Kelly is in Beyonce shadow (like its KELLYs fault) because

Kelly has NEVER had the same marketing, INSIDER freebee's aka Matthew Knowles and spotlight as Beyonce EVEN in DC aka Beyonce's child's . It has ALWAYS been like this.

So I think its foolish of her to compare herself to Beyonce who has always had those unfair advantages behind her which is why she has been successful not necessarily because her material is better or talent because quite frankly she doesnt deserve 90 percent of her success.

Kelly would be just fine if she search to find her own sound and personality instead of trying to be something that she is not just to sell records. I think the material she did back in 02 was more creative and interesting and I think her short hair styles fit her personality more.

These sob career stories from artists like her are pathetic. Fame and awards are not everything if your music is shit. If your a real artist then go in there and create! Who cares if you dont win any grammys at least you have your artistic integrity to stand by. This generation doesnt care about that and just cares about titles with out putting in the effort it takes to earn them. I respect her feelings and admire her honesty but just saying.

The days of music icons and legends ARE OVER..Yall need to stop drinking the Kool laid,. Im also happy she is at a better place with her relationships, no woman should ever have to be treated like that.

Sounds like this album will be more Solange than Bey.

I'm there!

Another chick singing about living in Beyonce's shadow.

She tries too hard with the oversexual themes. I like her, but her as an artist I can't get into.

The media is already twisting her words and watch all the simple people feed into the media bullshit. I dont see how the lyrics bashes her ex group member at all.

I kinda feel bad for her...having to live in Queen Beyonce's shadow.That can't be fun

Can't imagine you would interpret this any other way, coming from Kelly Rowland.

"When my sister was onstage / killing it like a … / I was enraged / feeling it like a ….,” she sings. “Went our separate ways but I was happy that she was killing it / Bittersweet, she was up and I was down / No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?"

Thats not bashing Beyonce. She actually gives her props throughout the song and just questions where does she go outside of DC. Thats what I got from it.

I dont see how anybody could get she is bashing Beyonce when she is clearly giving her props more than what I would have...

I think she is just saying what is on her mind, she has to be tired of hearing "you arent as big as her" especially here on this forum, Kelly should just do what she wants, but like everything else its a business, and she isnt exactly Bob Dylan or John Mellencamp, she cant start her own label and say fuck the radio, she is used to or has always been in the "light" had she not been, then she could do what she wants, she could be Tweet or Teedra Moses or Ameriie and people would give her credit for doing her own thing, but instead she isnt in that position, but i dont think she is bashing Beyonce because like B or not, WE would not even know Kelly had it not been for Beyonce.

I kind of compare this to what Julian Lennon faced for eons, constant "u sound just like your dad" or everything you do has got to be "on par with the Beatles Success" but difference is that Julian can write record, has his own label and doesnt really give a shit anymore and is comfortable doing his thing, releasing records when he wants, Kelly cant do that.

Lord for a second I thought she was doing a Don Henley cover.

Oh I thought you were saying it isn't about Beyonce at all. I agree, I don't think it is bashing either.

That is not true. Its actually the other way around.

If Beyonce had came out in the 90s as a solo artist she would not have had the same success. She has DC aka La Toya, La Tavia, Kelly and so forth to thank for her success ESPECIALLY Kelly who stuck by her despite her and her fathers foolishness. IF he had not been for DC there would not even have been a "solo Beyonce"

(I do love Kelly she has always been my fav) I just wish she grow a background and stop kissing Beyonce ass (which people kind of egg her on to do in these interviews) and just do her own thing (and be happy with that). She is her own artist outside of DC and Beyonce. The only way people are going to take her seriously is if she starts taking herself seriously with her music and stop following trends and copying Beyonce just to be relevant

There are plenty of superstars that became big in their own right despite a bandmember or sibling being more popular such as Janet Jackson for example. Despite all that Janet has achieve she still gets asked about Michael but people take her seriously as a "artist" because she made it clear that her and her brother were two different products/artists. I think Kelly needs to do the same.

I think with this record she might be going towards that direction. I wish she go back to the short hair look as well. I wonder who is managing her now. It was Matthew Knowles for a majority of her early career

Toni Braxton syndrome?
