Thoughts?

I knew she was going to flop.

LMAO JLO’S LOVE? SCORED EVEN MORE. SO FLAWLESS

There is no way Kelly can expect this album to be a hit if she didn’t even promote “Motivation” and it shot to #1 on the R&B charts. I’m not sure what planet these artists live on when they fail to promote their work like this. I just watched a USA Today interview with Adele from February ahead of the release of ’21′. THAT IS PROMOTION!!

I see.The only people who still sell some albums(except Adele) are Beyonce,Lady Gaga,Taylor Swift and maybe even Britney.Rest are all flopping.I sense that soon there will be a time when the concept of albums will just disappear and we’ll have only singles cuz thats what sells now

SMH, I’m really not surprised… I don’t understand why Kelly and/or her camp thought she would do good numbers solely off the success of one single. On top of that, her album has been getting terrible reviews. I love Kelly but I don’t wanna waste my money.

I feel bad, but she needs to step it up.

Who cares,her album is generic crap worse than Kesha’s level..the person above me pam watson is psychotic.whoa you have that much money to waste?but you still have no life..your 10 copies will only make it 75010 child

Are yall shocked? B/c I’m not. She didn’t even outsell Keri Hilson. Hang it up girl. Its a wrap.

Too sad, I was really pulling for her I’m really upset about this.

@Pam well buy your 10 copies, that’ll take her to 75,010 lmao. I like kelly but her heading overseas to be on Xfactor was just STUPID. You finally have a hit single and u just gon pop up at the BET awards and expect ppl to run to bestbuy? NO. Funny people were saying “this year is Kellys year and shes going to do better than Beyonce” Where she at? Where she at? *DC voice*

I only bought three songs from this album. Don’t plan on buying anymore or purchasing the entire albim

FIrst – the album is awful

Second – she can’t promote anything if the label budget isn’t big enough. My sense is that the label expected Commander and Rose Colored Glasses and other pop drivel she released last year to blow big like that Guetta song that everyone who doesn’t live in America loves. When it didn’t, she quickly became a non-priority for the label who proceeded to let her record pedestrian ass third-rate Keri Hilson knock-offs and then put it out all quietly in the summer with zero promotion.

This entire project has been mismanaged from jump. Anyone with an ounce of knowledge about music would have told Kelly and her label that she was not the defining feature of Love Takes Over that made it a worldwide hit. The entire world (minus the U.S.) loves dance pop. So the entire world was primed for a song like that. Her vocals, while good, are negligible – put any other powerful singer on that song and it still would have been a hit.

The label should have known that.

The label should have put her with the cream of the crop producers instead of knob-turning Casio no-talents. Why did the Salaam Remi track not make the final tracklisting? Why is the Ne-Yo song, which is one of his least impressive joints in a while, a bonus track?

Everyone talks about how they love Kelly Rowland, but then why aren’t they working on her albums? Why is she left to work with these losers who just write and produce derivative songs?

Because the industry doesn’t believe Kelly Rowland can succeed, doesn’t believe anyone is checking for her? And what the industry fails to understand is that they only make that belief a reality by treating her like a generic ass chick instead of giving her the best producers, the best songwriters, and the best promotional slots in magazines, tv and radio.

are we even surprised?? lol

Well it was expected, everybody is having pretty much the lowest sales of their careers right now, ppl aren’t buying albums like before! I’m surprised the sales are so close to her last album, though, you would expect them to be much lower, unless ppl REALLY weren’t checking for her back then

aint nobody really buying music in this day in age anyway sooo idc. Let’s just be happy for the damn girl & fuck the negative bullshit.

Who goes on 106& park and not perform! I hope kelly can get her promo together and I don’t blame her for not turning down $1mil for UK X-Factor. She was lucky to get that gig and smart to take it. She probably will make more from X factor than even if she would have sold 500k cds.

I love Kelly but she didn’t do anything to prevent this. Motivation came out in april or march every since she only did 2 TV performances of this song. Now Lay it on me is the 2nd single we know that for almost a month now and still no video and apparently she’s not in a rush for doing it as I’ve watched an interview of her she said she’s busy with her X factor thing in the UK. No TV interviews the view, jimmy fallon, today show, mario lopez something Kelly damn it someting. I hope she’s gonna wake up for the coming weeks otherwise Here I Am will be officially consider as a flop as much as I love Kelly but it’s the truth
