Oh Kelly thinks just because she had the Breast Implants, now she has the confidence NOW to SING & PERFORM BY HERSELF? Kelly, was it NECESSARY to ADRESS that CROWD at that PERFORMANCE? You shouldn't let anybody BRING YOU DOWN! That's wha's wrong, YOU worry about what other people think! Kelly, is the OUTER YOU MORE IMPORTANT THAT THE "INNER" YOU THAT COMES FROM THE HEART! Do you really think becuase of this UNECESSARY BREAST ENHANCEMENT will "BOOB" UP MUSIC SALES FOR YOU? & GET EXPOSED MEDIA ATTENTION?
Do you really think you are going to get the same ATTENTION like your CUZ "B"?
You looked beautiful before you had this done! I don't understand, why you said,
"Now, I Feel Complete"? This is what's wrong with beautiful women, they have LOW-SELF ESTEEM and feel that other people are doing it they should too, to make themselves BETTER AND ACCEPTABLE TO SOCIETY!
Kelly, you are talented singer but, you should have CONCENTRATED on MAKING YOUR NEXT ALBUM A SUCCESS ( (because your other album sales wasn't where it should be), and PRAY TO GOD AND ASK HIM WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU NEDD TO DO TO MAKE YOURSELF COMPLETE AS WOMEN ON THE "INSIDE"!
"God" gave us all WOMEN, a BEAUTIFUL BODY! Why MAKE CHANGES of what "God" CREATED?

Kelly, what message are you sending young girls that look up to you as a ROLE MODEL & LOVE YOUR MUSIC? That, it's Ok to get BREAST IMPLANTS AND IT IS THE WAY TO GO,so that you can be ACCEPTED BY SOCIETY & FIT IN?

She didn't really sing...she let the background singers sing. She is a beautiful girl; I hope she finds her niche outside of the Beyonce Shadow.

Weeeellll, I can't say Kelly really did anything out of character during that performance. She sang a few lines and tried to pump up the crowd, that's about it. Wasn't that her role in Destiny's Child? This performance clearly shows that Beyonce has the "it" factor and the other two are sort of second-tier. I'd love for Kelly to have big success, but she probably needs to go in a completely different direction than Destiny's Child-esque songs. Kelly doesn't need anyone conjuring up Beyonce comparisons because she will never win that battle.

Very very boring, to say the least. In the words of Simon Cowell..(Brit accent)...."I thought it absolutely dreadful"

Kelly is a beautiful, intelligent, and independent woman who can do anything that Beyonce can do. She is truly bomb material. adg

She's way better than Beyonce & finally making a name for herself as a solo artist. What has her breast enhancement got to do with her singing? Please. She's finally getting the recognition she deserves. Some of ya'lls comments are retarded

I think Kelly has a beautiful voice and just needs to step outside the Destiny's Child box, find herself and market that. I thought she was really going to do it when she sang the little song with Nelly some years back. She was very different in that and I think she needs to stop listening to all the haters and just find "Kelly". All that jumping up and down on stage, bumping and grinding, swinging the hair weave....not necessary. Personally I think Byonce is over rated. Yeah, she can dance and puts on a great show, but I hate to hear anything but a song come out of her mouth. She sounds like she's about as dumb as a brick. As far as the breast implants, I wish I had the nerve, I could use a little up there myself. I say more power to Kelly! She looks beautiful and at 27, she should look HOT.

To answer your question fsdfds #7.
In my opinion,Kelly is using her Breast Implants to show the world to get her singing career where it needs to be. As you look back on the past year, "Kelly" had maybe 1 or 2 hits of her album it wasn't all that great of an album. My opinion. Audience and media was not SATTISFIED with her singing or her performances, and possibly her appearance. Not saying there was anything wrong before her surgery. She's beautiful.
Her self-esteem was down and she even said on a BV article, that "Now she feels complete". Instead of her feeling insecure about her appearance, she should have been working on her inner self, working on a better album, and giving the FANS what they want. She in my opinion, thought by getting breast implants would boost her sales and attract a larger audience. Because you know, she was having a hard time in the past getting a large audience for her concerts.
She just needs to separate her singing and dance style from "Destiny's Child". She made that comment at a concert to the crowd and said; "They said I couldn't do it solo!". She said this after her surgery. In my opinion, I felt that she did this to get the attention because, she was always called the background singer or second lead singer.
