FINALLY! I'm glad to see Kelly has finally smelled the coffee and realized who Matthew's main priorities are (Beyonce & Solange). I guess seeing Solange perform at relevant events this past year, despite moving less units than Kelly, played a major role in her waking up. That said, Kelly still needs to refocus on making better choices in the music she chooses to release, because up to this point its been strictly hit or miss with her (mostly the ladder).
It's good. i had no clue that he was still managing her. but yea, it was about time she woke up and smelt the coffee, cuz Mr. K, has mad his daughter a worldwide superstar, and his other daughter, is on her way, too, i guess. But what about, Kelly, she can't be the same thing?
ReplyDeleteBut yea, i hope she gets fair treatment, and has better promotion and some good music, with her next project, and i hope it doesn't take her a long time, neither.
