Kelly Rowland is on a roll with her hit single "Motivation" and the killer performance she gave at the 2011 BET Awards. Her new album is now in stores, and to promote "Here I Am," Ms. Kelly has turned the already scorching summer heat up a notch with the August/September issue of Vibe.
When asked if she thought "Motivation" might be too overtly sexual for her image, she said, "I came into my sexuality while I was recording this album. I can walk into a sex shop now and not worry about what people would say if they saw me in there." Pick up the magazine to read the rest of the interview and listen to Rowland's album to hear more of her evolving sound.

Not only did Kelly LOST ALL of her clothing on this Mag but Kelly had LOST her DAMN MIND! There have been other Celeb's, Artist, in the past who have pose nude on the front Cover and I didn't like. One of them was Janet. Janet is beautiful but, I didn't like the pic featured on the cover at the time with a man holding covering her breast? At least, Janet had on a pair of jeans and wasn't NAKED like Kelly. This was Vibe's 2006 Issue. I'm glad Janet, has toned down and matured.

Kelly is in the muisc industry which is known for sex and exploiting women. She didn't go get a college degree and decide to use her mind like Michelle Obama. DC has been exploited since they were young girls in high heels so what else do we expect from Kelly Rowland??? She and Beyonce are doing what mindless pointless pop tarts do to earn money........
Kelly's song was #1 on the R&B charts was isn't a compliment in my opinion for her pop tart background. Now if Jill or Ledisi is #1 on the R&B charts then it's a compliment to the talent and music.

Here we go again''How is it that a beautiful black woman cant show the world the beauty of the perfect race.You all are worst than the taliban.You want our women to hide their bodies and not take advantage of all they have to offer.Every other race can,but oh no"not us.It is no wonder blacks are so far behind in the world of success.We cant afford all of these hating hang ups.We must see beauty without the vulgar that you all are talking about.

@kamotion-Now how said is it you said blacks are behind other nations because we don't support Kelly showing her body more? You didn't say we're behind other nations because they promote EDUCATION while we promote our kids being sports stars, rappers, singers, ignorant reality stars, entertainers...tis tis tis..a mind is a terrible thing to waste!!! Kelly has always been my favorite DC member but lets be real on her purpose in the sexed up mindless pointless pop tart world.....like my daughter jokes about Beyonce "She stayed in her lane marrying a former drug dealer!" LOL

i usually don't comment on things people do because hey, to each its own. but this rite here is so distasteful and it seem like these days that's what the music industry is promoting and if you wanna be "paid" you gotta lose your morals and values just to sell an album because obviously they aren't talented enough. when people like ms. Rowland do foolish things such as this magazine cover, they don't think about the young girls who may be already struggling with insecurities and how this would make them think it is ok to be going around flashing your body like its worthless. there aren't many examples left in the music world and being a monkey see monkey do type chick is doing nothing but giving the future less hope to a stable mind frame. as everyone else has said...Kelly need to sit her butt down!

That photo is tastefully done. Kelly looks amazing and her new single " Motivation" is banging. Let Kelly shine without hating on her choice of pics...she has earned the right to grow in any way that she chooses.
I saw Kelly's BET Awards performance and it was sizzling. The Destiny's Child trio got back together last night for a party at The Standard Hotel in New York to celebrate the launch of Kelly's new album. This is her moment let her please have it.

That's funny. Kelly is trying hard to get out of Beyonce's shadow which isn't easy.
