Kelly Rowland Believes Being Dark Skin Has Held Her Back

[KingCairo]

So why is Gabrielle Union hosting her own show?
Why is Gabby Sidbe on Empire right now?

Why did Viola Davis become the first black female to win a Emmy for Drama


Kelly problem is that she was in a group with Beyoncé. So they will always compare her to Beyoncé. She's just not winning that battle. She just has a bad management team.

Just watch 10 random rap music videos, then count the ratio of darkskin vs light or Latin women you see. Come back and tell me one side isn't vastly lopsided. It's called social conditioning.

If she was an actual artist that had a sense of vision then she may have point...I agree that there is colorism within the industry and the black community, but it does not fully apply to Kelly Rowland career..

Her best track was written by the dream and its pretty much about being in Beyonces shadow of success while having man problems..




She has a great voice (better than beyonces) but she lacks vision and soul

If that is a darkskin female to you, you're either a cac, a cac, or a cac

Why don't you want this obviously dark-skinned woman to be considered dark-skinned? What is your agenda?

her music wasnt all that. but she is attractive.... very attractive

I agree with what you're saying here, but I don't think Kelly is a good example of not selling because she's dark skinned.

Kelly is more in that R&B lane. If she wants to sell more records, she should make her music more poppy. And make music videos where she kills a lookalike of her ex.

Kelly Rowland is drop dead gorgeous I wanna marry her and have at least 4 kids but her skin color has nothing to due with her lack of success in the industry. Kelly just doesn't have the IT factor it's that plain and simple.

Being a darkskin woman is an obstacle, that's just a fact.

A black man that gets it

 

[KingCairo]

That may be true I'm just saying it takes more for a dark skinned women to accomplish what a lighter women could. It's far too many minimal talented light skinned female artist to name. Who mostly got propelled because of their looks.

we admitted this shyt 50 years ago. Now what? This thread is disgusting. The victim mentality is the only thing that holds you people back.

It played a role sure but so did her lack of hits and personality. Beyonce's dad basically made sure Beyoncé was the main attraction, which hurt too. But Kelly's solo career just wasn't noteworthy...

Your agenda is obvious c00n. Not going to go back and forth with you.

Just like dark skin held Whitney Houston back
