The gay community loves Kelly and appreciates her. How do you forget that?

💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹

What about a sade video ? It would be awesome !

You didn't do your research really at all on this it was not a dance era it was EDM that Kelly did

@@Scorpion-dn8ju What are you talking about stop discredit people's work it was perfect we all like it do it better or stop talking that is such a loser mentality really

My mom always tell me "a king is never celebrated in his own country but when he goes to another country he is actually a king there"

@@Sparklessssssssss ida move so fast. ...

​@@Sparklessssssssss that literally makes NO sense.

Yawll act like the US is the be all -end all. WHO CARES if she wasn't big in the US??!! Certain music is bigger in Europe. And vice versa. It's not that serious.

@@trawlins396 But she was born in the US not nowhere else . So the US is her people

she alluded that something was in the works recently

FINALLY! i am not the only one saying this. That biopic needs to happen before Kelly turns 50.

She could drop some music around that movie premiere too.

@@BlakeGildaphish76 I don't see Kelly looking much different to now when she's 50.

I've been saying this for years. She could Donna Summers daughter. She look so much like her. They need to go ahead andlet her do the biopic already.

Never, never 😄

I thought the same thing. For me, Kelly was successful in certain ways like Latoya Luckett and Solange. It just proved to me how powerful destiny’s child really was lol. I have dilemma on vinyl.

Exactly… I’ve always said this. This was her lane

I agree and I’m in the states but I still agree

When love takes overrr!!!!! Eyeeeyeeaahh

It’s true I had no idea commander was even a song until I randomly checked her KZfaq channel one day

Yeah I remember America didnt praise her dance albums

Funny bc in the us we didn’t know about her European success bc she didn’t take off the way she should’ve here.

We remember certain songs but she got compressed

People were just waiting for that phase to pass and she release r&b again. I remember interview with Sway asking her that.

I Know she was everywhere, America is fuck up.

Im in Sweden and I agree Kelly was a star

I'm in the UK too. I remember hearing Commander and When Loves Takes Over ALL THE TIME on the radio as a teen. I even downloaded them on iTunes :P

her music was everywhere in the uk fr, kelly's dance era was a big part of my childhood

The U.S. is picky about music and who sings it.

yes lol and Commander .... Alexis Jordan also made waves in Europe but i think she flopped in America.. crazy how that works

that's a great point, wow didn't know that

The song played all the time here in South Africa too. I'm actually surprised that her dance songs didn't perform as well in the US coz of how much airplay a lot of them had this side

@@alexis-marie_9920 she didn’t flop in america she just wasn’t commercially successful.

@@seoulku yes, but people also consider that flopping.

If you want to appeal to a certain market you have to care.

Dance music is not "good" music though. It's noise. It's really for a niche market. In my opinion Id rather listen to someone drag their fingernails across a chalkboard all day long!

@@trawlins396 hush up now

@@treblazer Sorry. It's true. It's literally just loud noise with a steady beat. 🤷‍♀️

Ironically they love dance music just not the person who makes it. Beyonce made a whole dance album and sold and gained awards. This is sad to say, that Bey always have seen what is in for the now and capitalizes it. Sorry for Kelly and Azelia Banks. Fans are fickle

Absolutely….😢🙏🏾💐

You do know all the members of destiny child went thru stuff not just Kelly.

Let’s stop blaming Beyoncé for Kelly’s career. Cause Beyoncé hasn’t been apart of Kelly’s career for almost 20 years

@@jjw1920 they weren’t blaming Beyoncé. They were blaming the fans for throwing Beyoncé at her in the midst of her grieving. That has nothing to do with Bey and more to do with everyone constant comparing them.

💯😩😢🥰🥰💐💐

i don’t think she was trying to appeal to the states she’s a versatile artist that wanted to showcase her versatility in different genres

@@badgirls1954 I see what you're saying about Kelly being versatile cause her label at that time was definitely against her during Europop. And going that route re-sparked interest in Kelly as a solo act, she was finally in her own spotlight and not in the shadow of her bandmate. So why not keep that momentum going?

@@TheMelody15 There was no money in it at the time..

False. Commander landed her the #1 position on the US Hot Dance Club Songs (Billboard) it also got acclaim from Idolator to E! It was also featured in the insanely popular video game at the time “Just Dance” Entertainment Weekly named "Commander" the number-one summer jam of 2010 and it was named by Fitness Magazine as one of The Top 100 Workout Songs of 2010.

@@cameronrobinson7400 There had to be money unless the business side was incorrectly being done. Also Commander wasn't huge like WLTO however it still did pretty well. I just wish Kelly stayed overseas a little longer especially when she was being appreciated.

Normani’s situation is completely different. Normani doesn’t even WANT to release music. She’s so lazy with it

@@hellobye7697but last year, normani said in an interview she had 2-3 albums worth of music. Only reason why it’s not released is bcuz she they r stopping it.

@@hellobye7697 exactly, Normani just doesn't seem interested at all.

@@clarissa8804 U have to consider normanis viewpoint. she got compared, sabotoged, and made fun of in a group, just like kelly. It’s hard 2 be motivated.

@@FlowMoon__3 and so has all female popstars but they still do what they gotta do. Look at Chloe Bailey for example, she's not letting anyone stop her. She believes in her craft and that's always going to be her main purpose.

America is cold to Kelly.

that’s raw

to this day !! she was massive in europe

@nightwingdefeatingbadguys kelly did the edm music before rihanna. She did that song with David guetta BEFORE rihanna and Nicki but she didn’t stick with it.

@nightwingdefeatingbadguyslove takes over set the tone for songs like ‘who’s that chick’ or ‘where them girls at’

Yes but she was signed to an American label and because she wasn’t popular HERE so they didn’t want to spend millions to promote her THERE

She got stupid on pursuing R&b which was never successful and never brought out her best voice unlike those dance hits. I was shocked too she quit it

Facts

I know! Maybe the EDM sound was a sanitized version of that, it just doesn’t make sense!

There were many 90's dance divas Cece, Robin, Adeva Crystal Waters and more .

I honestly had noooo idea about this era lol

Dance music has always been bigger in Europe. It's no big deal.

Dance music was very niche in the US in the 90s and moderately successful in the 80s. It was biggest in the 70s until disco died at the end of the decade. Even though House and Techno music were created in the 1980s by Black people in Chicago and Detroit, respectively, they never went mainstream in the US but became huge in Western Europe in the late 80s and in Japan and Australia in the 90s. It took until Skrillex in 2010 for the US mainstream to start paying attention to electronic music! Around the same time the US stopped paying attention to rock music, with hard rock and metal completely falling off in popularity since TV networks like MTV no longer introduced audiences to bands. Since the mid 2010s it's just pop, generic R&B, generic Hip-Hop and generic EDM that reigns supreme. Since most popular hard rock bands were from the US, it's decline at home led to a decline in popularity globally. However, EDM because of its less reliance on language is much more diversified globally and has a huge audience with their own ecosystem of festivals and clubs with big crowds.

All facts!! 🔥 the world needs to know

They continue to paint Kelly as this victim her whole career even tho she has had are more Successful career than most female Artist

THANK YOU!! Ppl act like there isn’t an entire world outside of the US. 🙄🙄🤨

Wow!

Yeah, we see if she’s had decent success in the US, but it’s not as much as people think it should’ve been, and I guess that’s the point.

Kelly should have pioneered the modern day application of the genre... Now, here comes Beyonce. Smh!

@@truthtorpedo4068 exactly destiny's child and beyonce always had dance mixes of their songs even illusion from album number one has a house mix.

YES

It’s unfortunate but she got so much love overseas. That’s where she should’ve stayed. Kelly would’ve been a force to be reckoned with.

@@Aries16603 yup, Tina Turner also eventually found more success in Europe as she aged

@@skurinski Kelis Fleshtone album rings a bell

It was HUGE here in Denmark and Europe🎉

she was huge back then. "when love takes over" & "commander" are IT!! ✨️✨️🔥🔥

she was so big in the uk i can't believe Americans don't know about this era

Right!

@@s4nphob1c21 I’m surprised y’all don’t kne know what she went through over her.

Did you grow up there or you moved there? I’m asking because I’m from Sweden but considering moving to the states for work.

same. I stayed in Belgium at that time & I remember when TMF played the music video. I was amazed & taken aback because Kelly Rowland is one of my fave DC members. ✨️💖

@@angelsalwayswithme1 I actually went to school there so I'll say I grew up there (sweden)..hejjjj, hur Mar du? Jag forsta liten Svenska these days lol...nobody to practice with. Anyway lol, to answer your question, USA has more job opportunities than Sweden. So moving here would be a good move for you. Just remember to be patient! Everything will fall into place.

@@teriverse omg! You remember TMF??? That was my show!!! And yes, Kelly is absolutely one of my favorites as well.

@@Jamerian2010 dude, I remember that channel. that channel was the ish!!! it's a shame it no longer exists, but I got certified hits from that channel. I even played it as BGM while using the computer back then 🤣🤣

Yuck. EDM is worse than nails on a chalkboard!

Hell yes! I am not even that big on dance but Kelly just SHINE doing dance

It went #1 on the dance charts

I agree....

Yeah only for certain communities but I feel like in time that might change

Yep!!

Because they can't get out of the tiny minded box

there was a renaissance in the 2010s but it had to be infused with pop & rap, the sound that Nicki helped to usher in.

Akon was featured on that track who had an insanely popular debut album and played a big hand in Gaga’s debut. Konvict Music was everywhere.

@@cameronrobinson7400 Plus vulgarity sells more obviously in the US...

Akon’s popularity at the time

Maybe because her support system is in the U.S ie long time friends and family

Shoutout to Miss ROWLAND! The real ones knew Kelly had the same potential solo success as Bey and she showed! I wish she would’ve stayed EuroPop! She had fans they just weren’t in the US and that’s okay.

@@thickshxdy she has the same potential but bey father was her manager..maybe he didn't make enough for kelly so she don't overshine bey? mmmm

Because people would rather complain on YT, than to actually buy her music. You want her to release more, buy more. No executive ever had an artist #1 and decided to shelve them because of their complexion, especially today where music is in dire straits. Lizzo is doing just fine.

@@marcsa8720 There we’re rumors that Beyoncé released her video right before “Commander” video and that didn’t go over well with Kelly.

Did you have DSTV? I was in Africa at the time as well and this song was played heavily on Trace and MTV base

@@blossom4237 what's DSTV? 😄. Sorry, just curious. I'm American but Cameroonian by ethnicity 🇨🇲. I was only there for the summer to see extended family members. I went and stayed with them often.

@@nehsangbong7259 DSTV is cable, that had numerous TV stations on it. It is a very popular cable in Africa. I thought you had it, my bad.

@@blossom4237 my aunt and uncle probably did but I'm not sure. I don't know anything about the cable channels in Africa. I just watched whatever my cousins had playing on TV which was mostly MTV and Trace besides soccer, anime, soap operas, and novelas translated in French 😄🤭💀. I learned a lot about international popular music whenever I traveled to visit family in Africa and even Europe, as well as when they visited me in America.

@@blossom4237 Most likely was, DSTV is available in a number of African countries😀.

I don’t understand this…America loved fast paced and electronic music, it was the dominant genre from the late 2000’s until the late 2010’s. Pop edm was extremely big in the mainstream. But I guess it was a little different from the edm popular in America vs Europe. I think Europe is much more house influenced than America.

Hard to happen when someone else will always sabotage her because of jealous of Kelly's real talent. I mean who has less background vocals and so on that to many people just are oblivious to

To me When Love Takes Over was that record for her

@@luiqiespinosa No. It was no where near the success I Will Always Love You had.

More talented than who? Let’s not lie and says she’s more talented than Beyoncé. That simply is inaccurate both in vocal ranges, performing, net worth, and critical acclaim

And Kelly is bootylicious af as well

Then buy her albums (Wendy Williams voice)

@@user-ny8td3on3m You really think everyone thinks this? There are many people like myself who always loved Kelly and found her more talented.

@@rajecks yeah but they don't support her like b 2 albums from 2011 -2013 did terrible because of no real support here I am didn't even chart no wonder she went to Europe.

Huh??? She definitely did not start the EDM trend!

Awe KMart. I miss those days.

Black Americans created Dance music. The fuck is you talkin bout?

Well said!! Everyone forgets about her official 1st work as a soloist with Avant. Plus her sales figures haven't been updated in decades for the US. It really is a shame. As a FOUNDING member of one of the best selling girl groups of all time plus her awesome career as a soloist especially considering the many obstacles she's faced, I'd say she's done quite well for herself. And let's not forget her foray into tv/film. She's so multifaceted.

@@charliejenkins3510 I didn't I was a huge dc stan lol.

Here I am released too many sex themed tracks at once they acted like motivation was the only song on the album keep it between us got ignored.

Thanks. Just got it. I heard a couple of these songs but didn't realize it was a part of an EP

Nobody thinks she's second best her fans did it always comparing her .

@@musiclover-cn7tb No it's ingrained in American culture. As someone who loves girl groups and listens to kpop because of that, USA always has the problem of finding the lead singer in the group as opposed to loving the group as a whole. Comparing vs appreciating everyone for what they bring. If we did that more Kelly would be equally as successful as Beyonce. But nope.

I assure u in Poland her songs where everwhereeee too. Beautiful woman inside out 🔥

Isn’t it interesting that Only Girl was better received in US vs when love… but yet is what you would usually hear in the European dance scene for many years before these songs came about

True, but they're exceptions and not the rule. The U.S. market favors and promotes lighter skinned women, sadly.

@@chocolatethunder192 Summer Walker and SZA in particular are EATING the girls up in streams and units within RnB and even with the white pop girls with SZA. It's also about curving your lane and building a strong fan base. It's not Kehlani or Jhené Aiko and definitely not Mariah The Scientist who are running the game in RnB today as people make it out to be. The light skinned girls are all flopping and have no longevity even with the push but when you look at the actual numbers, streams, units, chart positions and awards. It's a lot smoke and mirrors especially with the rap girlies tbh. Saweetie sold 2k of her last EP, Latto is basically a one hit wonder as of now, Ice Spice is all social media hype and Coi Lerai and Bia are nowhere to be found on the charts either 🤷🏾‍♂️. None of the new lighter toned girlies not name Doja are doing it like that bc she has genuine talent, versatility, stage presence and charisma....

@@angechrisman1694 very true

​@@angechrisman1694 All facts.

It was the late 2000s and early 2010s (2009-2012)

Dance music is beyond horrible.

Yeah her albums are actually very solid.

And she’s a baddie

@@Karl671 facts

I agree fr

Love Takes over was part of my youth. I loved that song especially when I would go out.

❤

I feel like the DJ is my bodyguard

She really is. She lack self confidence.

Exactly 💯
