BuzzJack Music Forum _ R&B and Hip-Hop _ Kelly Rowland Singles Rate//Results
Posted by: Niall Minogue Aug 10 2014, 02:46 AM
Okay welcome to my Kelly Rowland singles rate, there has already been one for Beyonce and Destiny's Child, and I don't think that there has been one for Kelly yet, she's had 4 albums out and quite a lot of singles, she's sold 27 Million records worldwide as a solo artist.
Rules = Rate each track between 0 and 10, you can use one 11 and one -1 and half marks are allowed but please no 10.5's or 0.5's

Kelly Rowland Singles Rate Results
26. One Life (Ft Madcon) = Avg: 4.136
Highest Rates: (7.5):Nick F1
Lowest Rates: (0)xx Chris
Coming in at last place is "One Life" which features Madcon and is taken as the 2nd single from their 2nd album Icon In May 2013. Not one of Kelly's finest moments and wasn't thought too highly off on this rate, with just one high rate of 7.5, the rest were mainly 4's and 5's, and a couple of 3's, then finally one zero. The song itself was a hit in some countries, charting top 10 in Germany, Belgium and Austria, top 20 in Norway, top 40 in Swiss and Slovakia.
25. Gone (Ft Nelly) = Avg: 4.625
Highest Rate: (8): Kellyann
Lowest Rate: (0): MIKEMYER
At #25 is another flop single which is "Gone" released in January 2011 and features Nelly, and also marks the 2nd time they have collaborated together, first time was 2001's smash hit "Dilemma". Taken as the 3rd single from Nelly's fifth album 5.0, and totally failed to repeat the former success by bombing on the US Billboard Charts peaking at #113, and not charting much better anywhere else, #55 in Australia and #58 in the UK, therefore failing to capture the magic.
24. Neva End (Ft Future) = Avg: 4.85
Highest Rates:(7):Nick F1
Lowest Rates: (2): Davidson, Mr Aly
At #24 is Future's "Neva End" and featuring Kelly Rowland and released in December 2012 and taken as the 5th single from his debut album "Pluto". Despite having a lower score than "Gone" this gained a higher average due to it having less rates. The song was also remixed from it's original form to feature Kelly Rowland on guest vocals and it was a small success on the US Billboard Top 100, by charting at #52, but it fared better on the US Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart and the US Hot Rap Songs by peaking at #14 and #11 respectably.
Posted by: Niall Minogue Aug 31 2014, 07:55 PM
23. Invincible (Ft Tinie Tempah) = Avg: 5
Highest Rates: (8): Liam
Lowest Rates: (0)X Ketalina x
At #23 is "Invincible" which is sung by English rapper Tinie Tempah and features guest vocals by none other than Kelly Rowland, and is one of her many collaborations to feature in this rate. The song also serves as the 4th single from his debut album "Disc-Overy" and is seen as a tribute to miss Rowland herself to the music of her group Destiny's Child. It recieved mixed reviews and became quite successful by peaking at #11 on the UK singles chart and to date it's Kelly's 6th best selling single with over 200,000 copies sold. Elsewhere it charted best in New Zealand at #5 and earned a Gold Disc. And also made a top 20 peak in Ireland and top 40 in Swiss, Australia and Germany.
At #22 is "Down For Whatever" which is the lowest ranking of Kelly's album release singles in this rate, despite scoring a 11, it failed to score any 10's, but did manage a few 8's, but overall really struggled with several low scores. Released in October 2011 and taken as the 6th overall single from her third album "Here I Am". The song followed the Eurodance sound of her previous hits "When Loves Takes Over" and "Commander", therefore taking a different sound for her 3rd album, moving away from the R&B and Urban sounds of her first 2 albums. It became another hit for her in the UK with a performance on X-Factor when she served as a judge and peaked at #6, and fared better on the UK Dance charts by hitting #3. Elsewhere it went top 20 in Ireland and Slovakia, then hit top 40 in Germany and finally charting in Belgium and Swiss.
21. Here We Go (Ft Trina) = Avg: 5.375
Highest Rates: (8)(Simon)
Lowest Rates: (0)xx Chris
At #21 is "Here We Go" a hip-hop R&B song by American singer Trina and taken as the 2nd single from her 3rd album "Glamorest Life". The song is Trina's most successful single in the USA by peaking at #17, as well as being one of Kelly's most successful on the US Billboard chart. Elsewhere the song was also successful in the UK and New Zealand by reaching the top 15, and also charting top 20 in Finland.

Posted by: Niall Minogue Aug 31 2014, 11:50 PM
20. Forever And A Day = 5.461
Highest Rates: (11)Mr Aly9.5JosephStyles
Lowest Rates: (-1)xx Chris
We now head into the top 20 and lose another "Here I Am" era single "Forever And A Day" released in September 2010 as the album's 4th overall single . The single failed to become a success like the previous hits and limped into the UK charts at #49. Originally other tracks "On And On" and "Take Everything" featuring Pitbull were considered for release instead, but due to the massive successes of "WLTO" and "Commander", it was decided that the dance route was the way to go, but didn't quite work this time round. The song also charted in two other countries but neither was successful.
At #19 is "Train On A Track" which strangely ranks higher than quite a few of her singles, despite not scoring higher than a 7 or 7.5. But none the less it's score is still beats the one previous to it and gained a few more average rates. Released in August 2003 as the 4th and final single from her debut album "Simply Deep" and gained a positive reception from critics and became her 4th UK top 20 hit, peaking at #20. In Ireland it managed to crack the top 50, while also charting in Australia, Netherlands, Swiss and Germany. The track wasn't released in the USA due to the poor performance of her previous single.

18. Without Me (Ft Fantasia Barrino & Missy Elliot) = Avg: 5.85
Highest Rate: (10)Liam
Lowest Rate: 0xx Chris
At #18 is "Without Me" and despite getting a much lower score than the previous 5 singles due to less rates, it did manage a slightly higher average. This is another song to have Kelly Rowland as a featured artist, as Fantasia Barrino is the lead artist and serves as the 2nd single from her 4th album "Side Effects Of You" and released in April 2013. Missy Elliot also features on the song and Fantasia originally wanted her to direct the music video, but the job went to Steven Gomillion and Dennis Leupold. It peaked at #74 on the US Top 100 becoming her first to do so since 2010, but fared better on the US R&B charts peaking at #26
Posted by: Niall Minogue Sep 1 2014, 12:37 AM
17. Kisses Down Low = Avg: 5.892
Highest Rates: (10)Niall Minogue, MIKEMYER
Lowest Rates: (0)xx Chris
At #17 is "Kisses Down Low" released in February 2013 as the lead single from her 4th album "Talk A Good Game". The song was only released in the USA where it peaked at #72 becoming her 8th entry on the US Top 100, while peaking at #25 on the US Hot R&B chart.
Posted by: Liаm Sep 1 2014, 01:21 AM
Down for Whatever is beyond horrendous, how it came anywhere but last is beyond me Kisses Down Low is pretty bad too, a blatant attempt to recreate Motivation (her best song) just because that was a big hit in the US.
Forever and A Day and Without Me are too low though
Posted by: vibe Sep 1 2014, 06:49 AM
I really like down for whatever !!! Surprised it recieves a lot of hate.
Posted by: mr_aly Sep 1 2014, 04:07 PM
'Down For Whatever' has not one single good thing about it whatsoever. 'Forever And A Day' on the other hand is criminally underrated and a perfect song.
Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ Sep 1 2014, 04:47 PM
down for whatever and kisses down low... so low? :S

16. Say Yes (Ft Michelle Williams & Beyonce) = Avg: 6.142
Highest Rates:(9)JosephStyles, Kellyann)
Lowest Rates: (2)Mr Aly
At #16 is "Say Yes" which is a single by former Destiny's Child fellow member Michelle Williams and also features Beyonce and marks the third time the trio have collaborated as solo artists since the group split in 2006. Released in June 2014 and taken as the third single from her 4th album "Journey To Freedom". The song is an uptempo gospel and pop song, with dance music influences and received a positive reception and performed well on the US hot gospel charts by hitting #1. But failed to crack the US Top 100 by peaking at #109 and also managed to chart in UK and France at #106 and #90.
Posted by: JosephStyles Sep 1 2014, 07:56 PM
I'm not religious in the slightest but I cannot deny Say Yes at all, what a bop

At #16 we lose the first of the Ms Kelly era singles which is "Daylight" which features Travis McCoy from the group Gym Glass Heroes and originally sung by Bobby Womack in 1976. Kelly recorded the song in October 2007 in London, but it didn't make the first release of her 2nd album Ms Kelly, but was instead intended for the "Asterix at the Olympic Games" soundtrack, but she liked the track so much she decided to include it on the re-release of her album titled "Ms Kelly: Diva Deluxe" and released it as a single in May 2008. It failed to dent the US Top 100 but managed to reach #4 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs. Worldwide it charted best in the UK reaching #14 becoming her 8th consecutive top 20 hit and in other countries it made top 50 peaks in Japan, Australia and Ireland.

At #13 is "Rose Coloured Glasses" released in June 2010 and taken from her third album "Here I Am". This song was released in the USA and some parts of Europe only and intended to be one of two lead singles, while "Commander" was chosen for the International market and won praise from critics stating it as one of her strongest and vocal and emotional performances to date, but it caused her vocals to swell. Originally the Ne-Yo penned track "Shake Them Haters Off" would be the lead single, but was replaced by two other songs, one for pop radio which was "RCG" and "Grown Woman" for the Urban market. But it failed to dent the main billboard top 100 and only managed to chart on the US Top 40 Airplay peaking at #39. The only other country it charted in was Slovakia where it peaked at #25. Therefore causing the album to be further delayed until the following year.

At #12 is "Grown Woman" and despite getting a much lower score than "RCG", this did manage a slightly higher average due to it's less rates. Released in July 2010 as one of two intended lead singles for her third album "Here I Am". It was serviced to Rhythmic, Urban and Urban AC stations and also released as a digital download in some parts of Europe. Despite becoming moderately successful on the Urban stations by hitting top 40 on the Hot Urban AC Airplay Chart and Urban Contemporay Airplay chart, while peaking at #51 on the US Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart, it wasn't included on the final edition of her third album "Here I Am", while the other lead single "RCG" was only included on the worldwide edition and not on the USA version. There was a music video filmed for the song in August 2010, but never got released for unknown reasons.

'Rose Coloured Glasses' is SO good, I can't believe they didn't push that properly.
I hear 'Grown Woman' in my gym frequently and it is annoying as hell.

At #11 is "Ice" which features Lil' Wayne and also marks the 3rd time that they have collaborated together, first time was on Destiny's Child's "Soldier" and her 2011 hit "Motivation" which will feature later on. Released in August 2012 and it was originally intended to be the lead single from her 4th album "Talk A Good Game", but it did not make the final cut following it's quite poor performance on the US Hot 100 peaking at #88, but fared much better on the US Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart peaking at #24.
At #10 and saying goodbye to one of her album era singles "Dirty Laundry" released in May 2013 and taken as the 2nd and final single from her 4th album "Talk A Good Game". This piano led ballad won critical praise and speaks of her jealously of former bandmate Beyonce and the domestic abuse she suffered during a previous relationship. The remix version features a new introduction and verses by R Kelly. The song failed to enter the US Top 100 by peaking at #113, but made the US Hot R&B/Hip Hop songs chart peaking at #47.

'Dirty Laundry' is one of her better moments, I admired how brutally honest she was on it.

At #9 is "Can't Nobody" which gained mostly positive rates with a 10, 4 9's and several 8's, and only just 2 low rates. Released in February 2003 and taken as the third single from her debut album "Simply Deep". The song incorporates elements of Trouble Funk's 1982 hit "Let's Get Small" and was also one of the first songs recorded for the album. It didn't match the success of "Dilemma" and "Stole" by limping in the US charts at #97, but fared much better worldwide, charting best in the UK peaking at #5 becoming her third top 5 hit and reaching top 20 peaks in Australia, Ireland and Denmark, then top 40 in Netherlands, Swiss, New Zealand and Belgium. "Can't Nobody" is also her 8th most successful single worldwide behind "Dilemma", "When Love Takes Over", "Stole", "Work", "Commander", "Like This" and Invincible".

I love both Rose Coloured Glasses and Grown Woman, wish the former was a proper single in the UK especially.
At #8 is "Lay It On Me" which features Big Sean and first released in August 2011 as the 2nd US single from her 3rd album "Here I Am", then released worldwide in 2012 as the 4th single. It failed to match the success of "Motivation" in the USA by peaking at #109 and worldwide it charted in 2 countries Japan and UK by peaking at #69 in both countries.
Posted by: mr_aly Sep 3 2014, 07:28 PM
'Can't Nobody' is funky (MUCH preferred it to 'Stole'), 'Lay It On Me' is quite nice.

At #7 is "Like This" which was released in March 2007 as the lead single from her 2nd album "Ms Kelly" and features guest vocals by Eve. The song was actually one of the last songs recorded for the album, originally the record company wanted "Work" for the lead single, then "Gotsta Go" was considered before she took a break and had a flash of inspiration, as it was originally titled "Wooo" or "Bump Like This". The song became her biggest success worldwide since "Stole", In the USA it was a moderate success peaking at #30, but fared much better in the UK by reaching #4 and elsewhere it charted top 5 in Ireland, top 20 in Australia and New Zealand.

At #6 is "!Dilemma" which brought Kelly Rowland to instant solo fame and featuring Nelly and released in June 2002 as the lead single from her debut album "Simply Deep" and as the 3rd single from Nelly's 2nd album "Nellyville". The song became an instant smash by topping the charts in 10 countries worldwide including UK and USA. A well known fact that the song samples Patti LaBelle's "Love Need and Want You" and she also features in the music video as Kelly's mother. Due to it's massive success it caused the other Destiny's Child members Beyonce and Michelle's solo stuff was pushed back. To date this song is still both Kelly and Nelly's biggest hit worldwide to date.

05. When Love Takes Over (Ft David Guetta) = Avg: 8.571
At #5 is "When Love Takes Over" a song by David Guetta who after Kelly heard the music, she fell in love with it and convinced him to let her record it and therefore was Kelly's first step into dance music and inspired her to make her 3rd album into dance music. The song was released in April 2009 as the lead single from his 4th album "One Love" and later included on Kelly's 3rd album "Here I Am". The song became a massive success and helped re establish her as a solo artist by topping the charts in Belgium, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Swiss and UK and top 10 in 13 other countries.

'Dilemma' is utterly foul, 'When Love Takes Over' is a great summer dance anthem and 'Like This' probably would have got a lot less than a 4 had I been scoring this in 2008.

At #4 is "Motivation" released in April 2011 and features Lil' Wayne and taken as the lead US single from her 3rd album "Here I Am". The song won rave reviews and became her biggest solo success in the USA by peaking at #17 and also given her highest charting hit since "Dilemma" in 2001. Also it's her first song to chart since "When Love Takes Over" in 2009 which reached #76. The previous 2 lead singles "Grown Woman" and "Rose Coloured Glasses" both failed to make an impact and so this song becoming a success was a big deal. When she performed it at the 2011 BET awards for the first time, it became the most anticipated performance of the evening thanks to the many delays of her 3rd album and even got one of the loudest ovations of the night. It sold over 2 Million units in the USA also and topped the US Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart and hit top 30 on the US Mainstream top 40. "Motivation" won two awards for Best Dance Performance at the 2011 Soul Train Awards and Top R&B song at the Billboard Music Awards as well as a Grammy nomination for Best Rap/Sung collaboration, It also managed to chart in other countries, by hitting top 10 in Hungary, but in Canada failed to become a success by limping at #99. In the UK despite not being released it managed to chart at #169 due to downloads. But to be honest this would have made a much better lead single here in the UK than "Down For Whatever".
We now reach the top 3 and finishing at #3 is "Commander" which means we say goodbye to her third album era singles, leaving just Simply Deep and Ms Kelly remaining. Released in May 2010 as the lead worldwide single from "Here I Am" and second overall. The song also marks her 2nd collaboration with DJ David Guetta, following last years massive "When Love Takes Over". Before it's release she parted ways with her record company due to under welming sales of Ms Kelly and after WLTO release she fired her manager Matthew Knowles and decided to carry on with her newfound dance sound, while the song did get a release in the USA, but given an Urban remix which features Nelly but failed to chart over there, but managed to top the US Hot Dance Club songs chart. In the UK, there was a much better reception where it hit #9 and sold over 285,000 copies and earning a Silver disc becoming her 3rd biggest selling single and becoming her 7th top 10 hit. Elsewhere it hit #2 in Slovakia and hit top 20 peaks in Ireland, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Norway and Finland. Then top 40 positions in Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Sweden and Netherlands.

'Work' will obviously win but I am so pleased my personal favourite 'Stole' made it so high. Stunning song.

Motivation definitely her best. Stole is up there too for me but I agree Work will likely win, I'd be happy with that too.

Right then so now the wait is over and at the runner up spot is "Stole", which means "Work" is the winner, but that will be in the next post, so now let's talk about "Stole". Written and co-produced by Dane Deviller and Steve Kipner and lyrically talks about chronicle three different scenarios with young people, whose lives are drastically changed by the aftermaths of a suicide and a school shooting. Released in Australia and USA in October 2002 and Elsewhere in January 2003 as Kelly's first official solo single and lead single taken from her first album "Simply Deep". Despite the rush release by the record company of the album (which was recorded in just 3 weeks) and this was picked by Sony Music's song pool, the song became a massive success. In the USA it was released after "Dilemma" was slipping down the charts, and debuted at #76, then 9 weeks later climbed to #27, not quite the success as hoped but elsewhere it was much better received and showed that her solo career success lies internationally. Worldwide it's still to date one of her most successful singles just behind Dilemma, Work and When Love Takes Over. In the UK it peaked at #2 and sold 210,000 copies and earned a Silver disc, her 5th highest seller over. In Australia it matched the peak at #2 and also hit top 3 in Ireland and New Zealand. In other countries it hit top 10 in Norway, Denmark, Swiss and Netherlands. Top 20 in Finland, Italy, Sweden, Germany and Belgium.

So there you have it Buzzjack your #1 Kelly Rowland song is none other than "Work" with 5 11's and 5 10's and no rate lower than a 8, making this the clear winner from the start. Originally intended to be the lead single from her 2nd album "Ms Kelly", but when it leaked early it had negative feedback and "Like This" was chosen instead. A re-think was in order, so Freemasons was called in to remix it and give it new life and released as the 2nd single internationally in January 2008. In the USA "Ghetto" was released and bombed, so therefore never given a proper release. In the UK "Work" became a massive success by reaching #4 and spent 6 weeks in the top 10, selling over 250,000 copies. Elsewhere it hit top 5/10 in Turkey, Finland, France, Australia, Greece, Italy, Swiss and New Zealand. Top 20 in Ireland, Slovakia, Netherlands and Norway, then top 40 in Germany, Hungary, Austria and Belgium. This also caused a boost in sales for her 2nd album "Ms Kelly" and eventually led to a re-release and following the underperformance of previous singles "Like This" and "Ghetto", this song saved the era and became one of her most successful hits ever.

I wouldn't say 'Work' is her best, but it's still really good (strictly the Freemasons version only, the original is unlistenable).
'Stole' is very overrated, 'Commander' is a great song but it did get very overplayed and it hasn't quite been the same since for me.
