QuoteDuring Tuesday's episode of The Voice Australia, Kelly Rowland made a candid confession while mentoring singer Chris Sebastian.
Chris, 31, is the brother of The Voice mentor and pop star Guy Sebastian, 38, and he admitted to his coach, Kelly, 39, that he felt stuck in Guy's shadow.
Kelly made her own stunning admission - she too, knows what it's like to live in the shadow of a more famous loved one.
In her case, it's her longtime friend and former Destiny's Child bandmate Beyoncé.
Kelly admitted: 'I know this feeling. Can you imagine what it's like being in a group with Beyoncé?'
The singer went on to reveal that she often second-guessed her own choices in an attempt to avoid comparisons between the two women.
'I would just torture myself in my head. Like, I can't wear this dress because they're going to say it's like B. Or I can't have a song like that because it sounds too much like B. They're gonna compare anyways,' she said.
'I would be lying if I said no, it's never bothered me. That's bull,' Kelly continued.
'There was a whole decade, if I am being completely honest, a decade, where it was like the elephant in the room. It was the thing that would constantly be on my shoulder,' she said.

Did I just accidentally slip back in time
Why is she still talking about this?
Past tense?
:ummwhat:
I think that was her problem... People always saying she doesn't have an identity or know what kind of music she wants to do but I think she was initially gonna make the same type of music that Beyonce used to release but she was scared of the comparison so she stayed trying to find any other sound that would work for her
Girl we get it. Didn't you make a whole song about it almost a decade ago?
love her honesty, but she can't let this be her story :dead:
She's still living it, bringing up this old mess
:rudone: again? AfuckingGAIN?
I respect her for this.
well she was talking to a person on her show who is in his brother's shadow guys
of course she would bring it up to relate with him and give advice :dead:
And she still does, tbh.
Yawl use that same excuse in interviews
course she brought her up because she was asked about her :dead:
There was no excuse for this, it's weird at this point
there definitely is an excuse this time
shes not gonna talk about the experience they share? :dead:
lfjdnlb
Guys, chill. She was just trying to have a mentor moment :calmdownsis:
I mean it's an experience that she shared with the other guy. I don't see the issue
Kelly can mention this whenever she wants, let her heal. For so long she never talked about anything and always sugar coated ish which hurt her image to me b/c we all knew she was living in her shadow and had much more against her than Beyonce.
How bout she just give encourage him to get better, and work harder nobody is going to get encouraged from hearing bout living in Bey's shadow :dead:
Oh girl
Admitting it is the first step

Right!
Faggots in here acting like she's promoting a tell-all book called "Living in Beyoncé's shadow".
She gave some advice mentioning her experiences. Not a big deal. DailyMail are the one's that made an entire article about this.
She might as well at this point

This is literally a conversation she had on film, behind the scenes as a way to relate to someone she's mentoring. Someone saw it and decided to write an article about it. Is the 1 on 1 convo the problem, or does it become one when it's in article form? Because she has nothing to do with that.

How many times she gone say this? Grow a pair hun
you never hear LeToya or Michelle carrying on about this

I agree with this
And the fact that she shines better next to bey shows how attached she is to this narrative and feeds off it
If her own sister can overcome this.. so can she
You're 40

Of course he did
I don't think it was direct but things like "Kelly get yo butt out the sun!".. or "hmm Kelly don't wear all black"... or "we might need to go lighter on ur make up"..
Definitely instilled lesser values in her and I'm sure her mother and Tina did the best they could to repair that
She clearly needs counseling though.. cuz even when she doesn't speak on it.. she moves like it
"Coffee" was a really good direction to head in

made the comment once during thebred bull sessions while talking with songwriters
and now in a mentoring session
but running it into the ground! :dead:
cccv bsource >>>
Yeah most people would feel she's running it to the ground
can't wait for her to speak on something else
well i don't think most people would, being that she's mentioned it three times in the past 7 years
but i def think people like to focus on the narrative, which she cannot control
She literally can

QuoteKelly Rowland has come into her own since the final days of Destiny's Child. But now, she's speaking on how she lived in her groupmate and best friend Beyonce's shadows for 10 years during their days in the Grammy-Award winning group.
In a recent episode of "The Voice Australia," Kelly Rowland relates to her Team Kelly contestant, Chris Sebastian, on what it feels like to stand in the professional shadow of someone you love. Chris' older brother – 2003 Australian Idol winner, Guy Sebastian – serves as Kelly's co-judge on the singing competition show. Kelly assured Chris that she can relate.
After Destiny's Child went on hiatus in 2002, and for a second time in 2005 – Kelly Rowland said she "tortured herself" trying to forge an identity outside of Queen Bey. She told Chris Sebastian:
"I know this feeling. Can you imagine what it's like being in a group with Beyoncé?...I would be lying if I said 'No, it's never bothered me.' That's bull. There was a whole decade, if I am being completely honest, a decade where it was like the elephant in the room. It was the thing that would constantly be on my shoulder."
She continued:
"I would just torture myself in my head. Like, I can't wear this dress because they're going to say it's like B. Or, I can't have a song like that because it sounds too much like B. They're gonna compare anyways."
This isn't Kelly Rowland's first time mentioning her longtime friend, Beyonce, on "The Voice Australia." Last year, Kelly told a hilarious story about crashing a fan's karaoke session with her iconic bestie.

I don't believe she's making that her narrative, but it's a part of her narrative so why omit it? It's HER truth. I appreciate her honesty.

She needs to let HERSELF heal. Destiny's child been over for 15 years and she's carved a respectable lane for herself. She could've been more by herself as well. She'll never be Beyonce and she needs to come to terms with it.

Not everyone is destined to be a legend like Bey. and thats OK

dont know what that has to do with discussing the experience of being overshadowed by her though
