LOL love the GIF! The song is just okay because I know that Kelendria is capable of more. Yes, Motivation was a hit but now its time to think outside the box. She is too comfortable

that the same thing some of yall said abt motivation when it first came out!! i love it sexy captivating and smooth

This is my jam…love it Kelly Row

I need to stop commenting under different names before Trent bans me from the site!

Love this site lol!!!

Trent you’re soooooooooo funny LOL! THAT GIF!!!

That GIF has me crying!!!

I love it! This is the type of R&B I like

Beyonce BET Awards dress >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this Kelly song

Well…I kinda like it…after hearing it a dozen times but I still don’t love it

This SITE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GRAPEJUICE

I’m convinced Kelly Rowland and Teairra Mari are the same person.

This song is hot all the people who are hating are Bey on my way to jail for plagiarism knowles stan

*sigh* People are so easy to please nowadays. This song is mediocre at best.

Why is Kelly determined to be a failure?

@Malibu
If you have to listen to a song a dozen just to force yourself to like it, then the song is not good. A song should be good just from loving it during the first listen.

#TeamKelly n #RowlDawgs please tell us what your fav lyrics are.
Mine is “My body going numb…HOT…as ICE…Can’t get enough”
Thx for Replying!

I’m disappointed.

It’s no surprise to me, I’ve come to expect “basic” from the Rowland for quite some time now. I don’t understand how people can be up on here calling Trent a hater when he clearly has an ear for good music and rarely gets it super wrong.

Last year when Motivation dropped Trent was at TGJ. I don’t remember what his reaction was, I recall Sam saying he liked it etc. But if we doubt Trent’s opinion let’s look at what Kelly’s contemporaries had to say. Excluding the Urban community who seemed to like the song because they wanna freak, Jeff Bhasker (Beyonce’s producer for much of “4″) called the production of the song “terrible”. He wasn’t wrong. I almost felt like the only Urban music lover who couldn’t stand Motivation last year. A song which sounded like it was somewhere between a B-Side, a demo and an interlude with no discernable percussion, melody or beat. What exactly everyone liked about I don’t know, but like I said, people wanna freak.

Fastforward to her album sales and “Here I Am” became, “Where Am I?” with drastically unimpressive (for a 15 year deep artist from one of the world’s biggest girl-groups) first week sales and a sharp decline falling out of the top 10 after 1 week and the top 20 after 2!!!

It was then I saw TGJ’s propaganda as they refused to mention this while laughing at Rihanna for her apparently “embarrassing” sales and Top 10 misses with “Man Down” and “California King Bed” (Better songs than almost ALL of what was on “Here I Am”). But hey, Kelly would give them an interview so let’s not mention her submarine-that-can’t-surface album and spin it a new way!

So, after an even worse episode of Chart Disaster FM in the UK (and what looked like a cancelled worldwide release) with “Here I Am” Kelly talks about being “motivated” to use Motown (some of the world’s best music and the foundation of Black Pop/Soul/RnB) for her “new” direction, and here we are with “Ice”.

The song is bad. No other way to describe it. It is without doubt a more interesting production than where-is-my-soundboard “Motivation” but her vocals sound half-asleep and the song is a female Trey Songz-esque trash! Maybe we should call her Kelly Songz…

I thought with the death of two of her biggest inspirations, Whitney – her vocal idol, and Donna Summer – her lookalike and Dance Diva predecessor, plus a critic and fan acclaimed Mariah Carey tribute she’d come out with something worthwhile…but no…we have Antarctic “Ice” (Where copies of “Here I Am” are still floating).

Even if there was some interesting vocal progression in this song it might have been interesting, but Kelly seems to save singing for Dance Music. Vocally, Kelly can do almost anything (except whistle). Unlike Beyonce, she actually has alot of power in her lungs which is what gave “When Love Takes Over” that Whitney-vibe. She can do smooth-beauty (see songs “This Is Love, How Deep Is Your Love), amazing emotion and runs (see songs “Simply Deep, Heaven, Beyond Imagination). So where is it Kelly? We get 3 semitones and Lil Wayne?

Truth? Kelly was so overwhelmed by the attention “Motivation” got last year (AMA nod, Grammy nod, Soul Train win, Billboard win, Platinum cert, RnB #1) she’s staying safe. This is understandable, even Beyonce used Jay-Z for both her lead singles for DIL and B’Day, but at least hers were interesting and required vocals that makes even tributing them quite hard (especially in Deja Vu). Musically they were interesting too…

Last point. If I had had 2 albums certified Double Bubble and Double Chocolate (regardless of what I thought their quality was) I’d be careful before listening to hyped up stans and blogs who say my work is “fire” coz those same 10 people around their Toshiba laptop can’t get me to #1.

Kelly, I love your music and I love you! You are one of my biggest inspirations (because of that melodic beauty called “Simply Deep”), but PLEASE don’t give me Treylendria Songz and one dance record!!!

Trent is NOT a hater. As soon as i heard the melody i automatically thought “it sounds like motivation” . Please keep your biased comments to yourselves stans , yall only making a fool of yourselves. That song ain’t even better than motivation. KR has a lot of potential it’s frustrating to see her not getting the success she deserves

as soon as this song cut off i instantly forgot it
