It’s called camera lights..

hmmm……

I actually think its the lighting…sometimes I come out amazingly light in my photos…

Yea its the lights…

first!!

so she’s going the beyonce route

So?

The lighting does that to people. In any professional shoot the lights will usually make you lighter, because the more light there is the more flattering you will look… It’s meant to fill in any deep creases or wrinkles. I’m sure it has nothing to do with her.

As MAN would say

She on that Sammy Sosa Soap.

LMAOOOO

That doesn’t even look like her. If you guys didn’t tell me – I would never associate that person with her. It’s sad, the way we been brought up to hate ourselves and each other. And in reality, we don’t want to be us and EVERYONE wants to be us. LOL

Photoshop.

i think its the lighting

@drenk
so she’s going the beyonce route
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I feel you, but…

She wouldn’t make a pimple on
Bey’s luscious honey golden ass.

Doesn’t have the talen, doesn’t have
the drive, doesn’t have Jay-Z.

…”talent” (but you got it I think)

I’s the lighting and airbrush. of course all compliments of the magazine editors. leave kelly alone

1st

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UMMM PEOPLE THAT IS NOT KELLY!! HELLO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FACE THAT LOOKS LIKE THE GIRL THAT GOT KICKED OUT OF SUGAR BABIES!!!

It’s clearly from the lighting. The white girl has the same lighting. That’s the problem. White folks don’t know how to light black people. They just do what they do for whites. That’s like putting baige make up on a black girl.

forget the lighting… what about her hair? are weaves just that accepted as not being a form of skin-bleaching? plastic surgery, weave, skin-lightening… it’s all the same- self-hatred!

I bet she did say, “Make me lighter on the cover of this magizine.” That she has no control over? WTF?

Is that a crook in her neck though?

Its probably a lil of both, lighting, and photoshop

Kelly can’t control what they do to the picture once they take it…cut the girl some slack

are weaves just that accepted as not being a form of skin-bleaching? plastic surgery, weave, skin-lightening… it’s all the same- self-hatred!
——————————————–

If that’s the case, then many Black women in the entertainment industry are afflicted with this condition. SMH.

People people how about you love yourselves? Hey if you think being light skin is better…its not!People always want want they don’t have and then when they get it realize its not all its cracked up to be!

That wasn’t her decision and I can look high yellow easy if a flash is on me. So what. Its not the best picture, because she’s unrecognizable.

@IJM

LOL! Baby Sammy Sosa

Really? Is news that scarce that you guys have to make ish up like this?? Y’all starting to lose credibility.

WHO CARES? GROW UP!

NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHE WILL BE BLEACHING HER SKIN LIKE MJ..SO SAD

wow, what a reach. that’s definitely the lighting, a harsh flash. it would be one thing if this was a polished professional/corporate ad, but it’s clearly some low level promo flyer

That isn’t even Kelly…

GET IT IN KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!

She was Sammy Sosi’ed.

@ Fff light my azz ..oh yea to hell with that TOM AZZ BIT$%

Did Kelly have an abortion? I read she was pregnant for a black English tv presentor names Reggie Yates, then I havent heard anything since, apart from the pair spliting up?

On the bleaching side, wouldnt be surprised she has straightened her nose, and must feel the pressure in the industry she is in to lighten her skin, to atch Beys??? Ridiculous really, because she has beauty dark glowing complextion anyway!

Please Kelly don’t tell us you went to see Dr. Klien too.

Thats crazy! But it’s not her doing…I’m sure the company did this!

she still looks hott

That is waaay more than some camara lights….. admit guys, the chick got issues.

Cracking up @ SAMMY SOSA SOAP!!!

Boy, I wish they’d come up with a pill that would magically change anyone Black, to White overnight!

Man 3/4ths of yall would be gone tomorrow. Such are wishes and dreams…

It looks like a flash from a camera to me… And who cares who this chick dates?! I know I don’t… Whoever makes you happy.

it’s the lighting… not skin bleaching!!!

That’s not Kelly that’s Rihanna. lol

And who cares what you do to your hair? It’s not what’s on top of your head, but what’s in it.

KELLY IS NOT DARK SKIN!

@GET REAL
“KELLY IS NOT DARK SKIN!”
________________________________
naw, not anymore.

lol

CAN’T EVEN TELL THAT’S KELLY! IF YOU DIDN’T SAY SO!…I WOULDN’T KNOW!!!!
And yes, while it may be a lighting issue!…THERE IS NO RATIONALIZATION SAYING ITS UNINTENTIONAL! These publications are professional! with professional services at their disposal!!! The final look of this mag AND PIC! was approved at several different levels! The image was approved by the photog as well as director of photography! As well as any number of editors! KELLY LOOKS JUST THE WAY THEY WANT HER TO LOOK! (and no! she likely didn’t have a say in the final print!)

Took me a minute to recognize her….

Are we sure this is Kelly? B/c doesn’t look like her at all despite camera lightening.

She’s no Sammy Sosa.

Das my boo! She gon be light skinded like Kim Kardashian my other boo.

Its called the lights from the cameras
Damn nuts!!

between lighting and editing…this is what happens dummy.

that is obviously the lighting…….

who cares

Leave Kelly alone !! She is desperately trying to move from Beyonce’s large jiggle booty shadow and become her own entity…. LET HER LIVE !!! LET HER GET A VANILLA TREAT & HAVE SOME TRAGIC MULATTO BABIES !!! As long as she is happy, so what !! Also lets not forget she does indeed have talent and I dare say more class in her lil pinky than that flat talking country corn fed “Bounce” Carter

So what if her skin is lighter..who give a damn…

Another talentless african american singer who uses bleach

It’s pretty clear that it’s the lighting. Geez.

It’s the lighting! She has nothing to do with that and everyone knows that party flyers are always the most airbrushed so I don’t believe she pulled a Sammy Sosa.

oh well self haTE When will dark skinned people learn to love and accept themswelves everybody’s going the michael jackson route everybody wanna be white these days the price of intergration.

CLEARLY THAT IS NOT KELLY! ITS ALESHA DIXON.. THE NAME IS RIGHT ON THE AD. SMH @ U ALL.

then you wonder why she ditched the brothers….smh

That’s not even her- that’s Alesha Dixon

She is still very pretty no matter what her skin color is.

ehh… i would say lighting, but then i’d be an idiot. someone wanted that outcome. that someone – John McCain

the bastard

umm thats not lighting, you can see her fo’head edge where its darker brown. They photoshopped her azz lighter. end of story. but shes so lame who cares. they could air brush her azz blue.

I always thought she was really pretty.

I think this is the result of really poor lighting…hoping this is the untouched version.

The lights contributed to this but it’s clearly not just the lights. She was photoshopped to look lighter. The brown-skin women on here should recognize that. I mean, how many of y’all have taken professional pictures and come out looking just as light as Kelly??? Exactly. Kelly is almost the same color as that White woman on there. Kelly may not have intended for the photo to make her look so light but somebody did… and it worked. I almost didn’t recognize her. SMH.

Please, as if she requested to look lighter… the people who photo shopped this pic , in addition to the fluorescent lights is the reason why she appears lighter…. get over it, and is is not the Chocolate advocate. Where they do that at???? phew…*sigh*

She really DOES look different. At first glance, I thought it was Vivica Fox. If that’s what she needs to feel “pretty”…

@ white male

“I always thought she was really pretty.”

I’m glad you see her beauty. I do, too.

Y’all stop, you do realize that is a lighting issue right?!!!

Hmmmm. Do see my name. That should suffice. Good girl Kelly, your absolutely gorgeous. And for those of you who are too dim titted to realize that it is a “state of mind” to which I am refereing, sod off.

THAT GIRL PRETTY,SO I DONT THINK THATS KELLY CUZ KELLY JUST CUTE NOT PRETTY LIKE THAT GIRL LOL.

If it was only lighting that makes her look THAT much lighter, white girl next to her would be seethrough!!!!!!!!

It’s the lighting of course.She’s one of the smart American Black woman,you go girl.You can tell she’s not hood,which is why she will attract nice successful White guys.Hey maybe she wants pretty light skinned children.
Smart Mujer.

THATS NOT KELLY, THATS ALISHA DIXON GODDAMIT!

http://tiny.cc/fEG4w

That is kelly. If you look at the above link, you will see both Kelly and Alesia. Kelly has a autograph right next to the picture. Its definitely her. Alesia and Kelly look nothing alike though, even they are both beautiful girls.

I dont understand what the issue is even if this is Kelly!
Bossi must be full of jealous BM because they always want to try to come down on the sistahs that are swirling …like how they always have something bad to say about jessica White! Good for Kelly if she loves White men now..she tried to give BM a chance and they treated her like dirt..so thats over now and shes moved on! leav her alone..leave all us bw alone that orefer otrher race males..BW dont have to want BM..just like many of them dont wnat us..many of us are starting to not want them! Im hay for Kelly..maybe she can meet a nice White guy, get married and have a family..something she definiteley cant get messing with a BM.

@White male…its funny you always thought she was retty because most BM dont… and thats exactly the reason more and more BW are going to White and other nationalities these days….

WOW BUT WHEN YOU NEGROS DO IT IT OK,, NOW THE SISTA’S ARE CHANGEING UP TO ,,

Lol, she looks cute though.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

well if u ppl dont kno its called soft glow when u edit pics she still the same color

EUROPEAN IMPERALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is it such a big deal when a black celebrity woman dates a white man? Why do people make comments like ” Oh she’s leaving the Brothers or she’s anti-Brother” I rarely hear the same comment about all those black celebrity men who date white women. Which is a big majority. What a freakin’ double standard!
