Queen of the night Kelly Rowland took charge of a Los Angeles soundstage on Wednesday (May 5) to shoot the video for the David Guetta-produced “Commander,” the first single from her third solo album, coming this September. Fatima Robinson choreographed the futuristic visuals in which Kelly goes head-to-head with herself.
Rap-Up.com was on set as the Destiny’s Child alum donned a sexy Avatar-esque bodysuit in one scene of the Masashi Muto-directed clip. Michelle Williams, Nelly, Angie Beyince, Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone, and songwriter Rico Love, who makes a cameo in the video, showed their support for Ms. Kelly’s return to the dance floor.

May 6th, 2010 at 6:58 am
Wow she is looking Fierce! She has really come out of her shell lately. “Commander” is an excellent song and she is about to OWN the scene. I like how she’s like “Don’t count me out” attitude about her. “Commander” and the way this video looks is the best stuff she has come out with since leaving her last “management”

May 6th, 2010 at 8:10 am
I see now everybody’s getting on the Rico Love bandwagon…he’s proving to be one of the best songwriters in the game (if not the best)
Good to see Ms. Kelly found her lane…the mainly R&B thing is getting way too crowded (and if she kept doing it, she’d only be on E1). But fear not, old-time fans-I think there will be a few slower tracks on the album too!
[Reply]
May 6th, 2010 at 8:35 am
Kelly is free to be the BOSS LADY. from here on now Kelly will be your COMMANDER, no fears no doubt she is going to ride high on the charts. love you so so much kelly.

This is the start of the Kelly Rowland ERA Queen of the Night! First chapter: COMMANDER. She looks amazing. I’m glad she has control over her career now. She’s got people around her who are looking out for HER and not anybody else. She’s got loads of confidence and looks like the star she truly is.

Im totally going to buy this song. I’m a fan of the song, She still has some more convincing to do to win me over as an official fan, but nothing a few more tight uptempo’s cant change

May 6th, 2010 at 12:57 pm

Oh my, I’m so happy right now I am about to cry! This is what I’m talking ’bout people. With the right team supporting and investing in a talented artist, this is what happens. This is what many people have been waiting for. As a DC fan, I just was confused that only one of them was marketed as great. How can three train together, dance together and sing together, and yet only one has what it takes to be a super star. Kelly just needed the focus to be on her too! They all deserve that.
God Bless her. I just feel like this journey and all of her success is a lesson to young women everywhere on how to raise up out of negativity and become who you truly are. This picture is PERFECT. It says everything I wanted Kelly to say to the world. She is breath taking. Its like so many odds were against her. Haters were telling her to retire…and in her humble and gracious why she fought back, not with words nor aggression, but by becoming who she was met to be. God Bless her for being a great example of triumph over adveristy.
I will definitely support her, not out of pity but because I recognize her gift and enjoy her music
