Kelly Rowland Album Update

A new promotional image of Ms. Kelly can be seen to the left. So, what did we already know? A re-release of Kelly Rowland's modest-selling "Ms. Kelly" album has been in the works for a minute. It has recently been confirmed that, in America at least, the 're-release' will be a digital release under the new title of Diva Deluxe due March 25th. The good thing is that the album will include five new songs, plus two remixes of songs from the Ms. Kelly record. However, the main thing I am personally upset about with this is that I was looking forward to a DVD (that the UK will apparently be getting) with all the hot videos Kelly has made to promote this latest record ("Like This," "Ghetto," "Work," "Daylight," & "Comeback"). I suppose America doesn't deserve it, persay, with the lack of support, but was that not the initial purpose of the re-release? Some have justified this move as something that can be seen as a "for the fans"-type release, but there is no reason for something like that at all. The fans don't want her to get dropped from her label, which would confirm that, for at least a while, we would get no new Kelly at all, but that is exactly where she is headed with Columbia pulling a stunt like this. No one will notice the re-release & her sales will continue to be minimal.
