People That Kept Us Talking Throughout 2006 Part 1

Hello to all! I'll be profiling some artists who had us talking all throughout 2006. Our first artist to be profiled is none other than Ms. Kelly Rowland.

Kelly Rowland
One third of successful trio Destiny's Child.
Kelly appeared on the Tyra Banks show in early 2006 (I believe). There she spoke candidly about life, love and her upcoming album, My Story: Kelly Rowland. At the time her album was due in the summer (June 13, 2006) and the excitement in her voice was evident as she mentioned the new record. Fast forward a few months later, tracks from Kelly's album leaked. The tracks were met with such a mixed response, it prompted the delay of her album. The album has since been pushed back to 2007. This was just the tip of the iceberg! Out of nowhere here comes Beyonce with a new album and single. A Beyonce album wasn't scheduled 'til next year but we got it a lot sooner than we should of. Fresh off the heels of filming Dreamgirls, Beyonce made.....back to Kelly. Anyway in conjuction with the expected release date of June 13th, Kelly appeared on the cover of Vibe Vixen. In the article Kelly revealed that she was in fact not Mathew's(Knowles) daughter as rumors had suggested.

Kelly also found herself in a middle of a debate between fans suggesting her involvement in Beyonce's single, Check On It. Apparently many believed Kelly's vocals could be heard on COI. I, myself believed to have heard Kelly myself. Beyonce and Kelly's voices can be very similar at times. There have a been a few other times I mistaken the singers. Ironically COI appeared on the Destiny's Child #1's compilation. In the opening Slim Thug says "Destiny's Child!" But Beyonce is the credited performer.

Also Kelly's falling out with Brandy has also sparked a debate. What went wrong? No one knows. There was a rumor going around that Kelly publicly dissed Brandy. The two were seen out and about for a time shortly before Beyonce's debut. They seemed like really good friends. Brandy eventually rubbed off on Kelly as several of songs indicated her use of Brandy's signature style.

On the eve of her new album, Kelly Rowland has kept us talking all throughout 2006. WIth the new album, she is sure to keep us talking in 2007 and beyond.
