Kelly Rowland f. Wiz Khalifa, "Gone" - As a follow up to "Kisses Down Low," "Dirty Laundry" and "You've Changed" (featuring Beyoncé and Michelle), Ms. Rowland continues her trek along the path of honesty with the Harmony-produced track "Gone."

Kelly Rowland f. Lil Wayne, "Motivation" - Kelly captivated with "Motivation," the sultry lead single for her third album, Here I Am. "Whoa, lover, don't you dare slow down," she commanded immediately as the track opened. "Go longer, you can last more rounds," she continued.

Kelly Rowland, "Neva End" (Remix) - Hailing from Kelly's original hometown of Atlanta, Future knew just who to go to to add the right pitch of songbird to his "Neva End," off his debut album, Pluto. Kelly jumped in with a whole verse and added another layer to his chorus, "We don't wanna neva end..."(Photos: Christopher Polk/Getty Images; John Ricard/BET)
