Kelly Rowland Reaches Number 1 On Billboard + Beyoncé Sings Backstage On American Idol

So it looks like Ms. Kelly has a bona fide hit on her hands with this one! After numerous false starts, the singer has edged closer to the stardom of her Destiny’s Child counterpart with Motivation, which has just reached the top of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The slinky jam, which featured Lil Wayne, has also achieved this feat with very little promotion from Kelly herself, and despite only being released to Urban music formats.

Motivation is now Kelly’s best performing solo single to date, and should help get the ball rolling on her much-delayed ‘Here I Am’ LP, which is due later this year. You can do it Kelly! We believe in you baby! LOL

Speaking of Destiny’s Child members, footage of Beyoncé was captured yesterday, showing a rare behind the scenes look at the power of her voice. The footage was captured by Jay Z, and shows her singing her new single 1+1 backstage before her performance on the season finale of American Idol. As usual, Bey KILLS this impromptu performance, showing why she should be counted for her voice as well as her hit making ability.
