    I am speaking as a very big Beyoncé stan; Can these interviewers please stop mentioning Beyoncé in Kelly Rowland interviews and stop using Beyoncé name in the title for clickbait? This has been an ongoing issue for years and it needs to stop. I get it, they were in one of the biggest groups of all time but Kelly Rowland is her own artist and own person, focus on her without mentioning Beyonce!
  • Kelly Rowland is a Grammy Award Winning, NY Times Best Selling Author, with MULTIPLE Platinum selling records, movie accolades, production credits to name a few accomplishments. All of which have come solely to her without contribution from previous bandmates (check her stats). We don't have to belittle one person's accomplishments because another person has received more. She deserved a bit better in this interview when recognizing her accolades. God Bless

    Also..shout out to Marsai- she totally kept her composure while still sending out the frequency of what we all heard👌🏾👏👏👏👏🤣
  • I love how Kelly put her foot down & said “ I Am Light Too” because she definitely is ‼️❤️
  • @JonathanDDew
    I love her response to the Beyonce “light” thing. It’s amazing how some white ppl in media try to subtly stoke division.
  • Light attracts light.....well said Kelly. Kelly is a true legend, truly
  • Kelly handled that so well and cleared his ass so gracefully. Calling him "limited," for comparing was so spicy. I know he felt that in his chest.
  • Kelly isn’t second fiddle to anyone. She is a 💫 ALONE!!! She can sing, dance, & act her ass off!!! Nice and classy read Kelly Rowland💖
  • Kelly Rolland’s response to the Beyoncé comparison was amazing!! Beautifully said!!
  • I don’t think Beyoncé has ever been to an interview where they stop what they were talking about to ask her how was it to work with the great almighty Kelly Rowland. And then defend it by saying because you know, Kelly’s light is sooo big … Hot 97 needs to stop. Kelly is a queen. We love you Kelly. It’s a shame that you have to answer some of these foolish questions.

    KELLY ROWLAND is a LEGEND ! She has stood the test of time and continues to pave a path for herself ! Outside of the States (and even in the States) she’s adorned. In Africa she’s our queen !! In Australia, Europe, Dubai, she’s bigger than some of these artists that sell records in the US. So don’t try it!
  • Kelly is a class act, full of poise and grace, in the face of trained/scripted ignorance. I love it!
  • @mae674
    It's the way he asked one insulting question right after the first one and didn't get the hint. I'm so glad Kelly does not let the comparisons over the years get to her because she IS just as bright as Beyonce. Always has been and always will be. She is so beautiful, graceful and inspirational to so many- including myself.

    It’s odd to see how people can’t comprehend how rude and disrespectful it is to tell someone they are second to someone else. Why try and project insecurity onto Kelly.? I’m so happy she’s never felt or saw herself as less than. She doesn’t deserve to always be pit against her best friend and she doesn’t deserve the projections people put on her. Kelly is an amazing light. I hope people understand how that question can be harmful. I wish they would’ve asked more questions about the project. This is such a moment for Marsai and having Kelly with her is so iconic. It would’ve been great to get more information about the work She’s doing now rather than tabloids and being a child star.
  • When Kelly said “her bestfriend/sister is one of the biggest stars in the world too” I felt that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesssss Kelly tell baby cause they need to stop mentioning beyonce in kelly interviews Periodt
  • Why do ppl keep asking Kelly about being compared to Beyoncé.. the question is played out… 🤦🏽‍♀️⁉️ she has answered it 50/11 times…

    If Kelly Rowland is not cast as Donna Summer in the next two years in an excellent written script I'll create it myself. This is unbelievable. The same way the movie Selena catapulted JLO. We know Kelly's fans know she's talented but she deserves way more shine. I think a Donna Summer film will remind the public of Donna Summer's legacy and catapult Kelly's stardom at the same time. Giving both queens their due.
