Many people have forgotten that Kelly Rowland’s ‘Here I Am’ album is in stores so she has returned to the promotional trail. The songstress, who had not done a televised performance since July, delivered renditions of ‘Motivation’ and ‘Lay It On Me’ alongside Big Sean on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last evening to remind her fans of the project.
Watch Rowland’s performances below:
Rowland’s live vocal performances continue to be a her main issue. Clearly lacking breath control, she struggled to sing ‘Lay It On Me’ and sounded a lot like her idol Whitney Houston circa 2010. However, Rowland definitely knows how to command her audience and she handled the choreography without looking stiff or forced.
Interestingly, given her vocal setbacks, it would be a excellent idea for Rowland to develop her dance skills. She was always the strongest dancer in Destiny’s Child and exploring that area of her talent would only help her to further distinguish herself from her former bandmates, especially if she decides to venture into Dance music fulltime.
