So while trolling the net, I read on Necole Bitchie’s site that Beyonce is finally ready to sit her ass down…at least for 6 months.
It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries. I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.
“I’m going to do random things. I want to go to restaurants, maybe take a class and see some movies and Broadway shows.
“I’ll spend more time with Daniel. He’s a wonderful kid, amazing, so smart. And I spoil him, so it’s a lot of work. He’s a 24-hour job.”
“I wrote out a contract with myself. I made a list of everything I want to do that has nothing to do with music. Well, some of it does. But I promised myself that I would not go back on tour or in the studio until I finished these things. It will be the hardest thing in the world for me to make myself not do an album and shoot a video and turn it in and say, ‘I’m ready!’ I already have all these melodies and ideas in my head. I have to tell myself, ‘Sit down! Sit down!’
So what does this mean for the RnB world and all those struggling divas in training…it’s takeover season! I can’t help but root for my girl Kelly Rowland to slip on in and mesmerize the world with her flyness. Only thing is if she’s looking to take over the #1 spot, she’s gonna need to put a few things in order, ’cause performances like this won’t cut it!
Str8NYC.com took some time to gather up a list of the Top 5 things Kizzy’s gonna need to reign supreme. Shorty better jump on these quick, she’s got 6 months to milk it.
5. Upgrade Weave- If she’s looking to compete against Bey, her weave game is gonna have to be tighter. I mean seriously, Beyonce’s mane got it’s own publicist.
4. New Choreography- With Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and tireless live dance performance skills, Kizzy really needs to invest some time in front of the mirror and solidify every move. Exaggerate the issh out of every movement and work the stage.
3. Bag a Mogul boyfriend- With Jay-Z by Beyonce’s side, she’s definitely the talk of the town. I mean who wouldn’t want a man that runs the city…he drops labels, labels don’t drop him. Rihanna tried to do it with Chris Brown, look where she wound up with that…a bruised up face. If Kizzy plays her cards right and finds the right mogul, if not mogul in the making…she could be on her very way to A-list status. Forget the music honchos, how about an athlete, a politician, an a-list actor…something!
2. Enlist hot new producers- Real talk if it wasn’t for Tricky & The Dream, the “Single Ladies” anthem we all jump up and dance to would be non-existent. Beyonce’s has had the help of many super talented hit making producers, Kizzy needs the same if not better. With Ne-Yo & The Dream on her writing team, Kizzy could score the major hits she needs.
1. Jack an alter-ego & embrace it- Would Beyonce be the star she is without “Sasha Fierce”? Umm, no. So maybe Kizzy should embody her own alter-ego, but unlike Bey…keep it under wraps. Nobody likes a copy cat. With an alter-ego, Kizzy could give herself the excuse to whore herself out, gyrate on stage & in videos and let’s not forget the moaning on tracks…that’s oh so necessary.
All jokes aside, we’d really like to see Kelly Rowland succeed and that hit single “When Love Takes Over” with David Guetta she’s got on her hand is the perfect opportunity she’s got right now to jump start her takeover. I’m just saying…we love you Bey, but we’re definitely glad to hear you’re finally ready to sit your ass down and live your life, make room for them other chicks that gotta eat too.

I think she did quite well. Its clear she was under the wearther, horse and she looked very weak in the face. This was not Kelly at her best. I applaud her for going on in what is very clear to see was illness.
She definitely gets props for performing sounding as hoarse as she did…but we really need Kelly to step it up and murder her next show…where ever that may be.
Lol…I agree with ur post…but it’s practically impossible for Kelly Rowland to reach Beyonce’s success. I’m sorry. I’m a HUGE KR fan, but it’s just out of her reach…Bey’s voice, performing ability and talent is way beyond Kelly’s. Listen to Kelly’s live voice, she sounds like she’s struggling to sing sometimes. It just wont cut it. But I’m willing to c how far it can take her, cuz I’m rooting for her. Altho Bey is my #1, Kells is my #2.
Hey ppl,its nt abt d voice nw,cs rihanna overshadowd B last decade(she ws first female 2hit 5 #1s)evn though she started in 06 n B in 03,riri cnt sing or perform near d level of KR,
