R&B stars Kelly Rowland and Ciara hit London earlier this week to perform at premier urban station Choice FM's 18th Birthday bash. Check out their performances below:

Kelly Rowland - Like This / Work



Ciara - Goodies / Like A Boy

Kelly nailed it! Whoah. She worked it like a pro. From her stage presence, to the the audience interaction, to the vocals, she definitely shined. After watching this, as well as her BBC 1Xtra set, I'm gonna need Ms. Kelly to be performing like that all the time from on here on out. Awesome. {Random tidbit: Did anyone else catch Def Jam head LA Reid (who was there with Mariah) recording Kelly on his mobile? Just an observation...}

Ciara was solid too. While I would have really liked to see a 'Promise' performance (her career defining song IMO), it's understandable why she she performed 'Goodies' and 'Like A Boy' - both of which are her biggest hits in the UK to-date. Good stuff.

What do you think of the performances?

i think that kelly's stage presence is a breathe of fresh air,everybody in that place was soo geek'd when she was performing,but when ciara got up there they were kinda like "yeah yeah wateva" i mean i love cici but kelly was obviously more loved....i mean hey you cant have it all,cici is loved in the states,kelly is loved in the UK....that was kind of a good look for kelly having people recieve her solo act more then cici ya dig.

i dont' think kelly was recieved more. sure DC is bigger in the UK but the got rowled when she got in the crowd ...but the crowd was overall boring. the fact that she performed way before ciara speaks volume.

cici did her thing. one of her better performances although not her best. she never dissapoints as someone says. i do which she would have done promise but i don't think it was even released in the UK

Kelly's performance wasn't all that at all. She hardly sang and was just playing with the crowd all day.

Didn't even give Cici the time of day.

Kelly is missing that certain something i don't know what it is she just doesn't have star quality/power but nevertheless her voice is good but overall boring too laid back and when she comes out of her shell it's too little too late.

kelly is exactly where she needs to be vocally-it takes a tru artist to incorporate her surroundings into her current song and still stay on beat (when she was shouting out CHOICES 18th anniversary during like this). I really like that. is there a part 2 somewhere. it was hot having here here picture in the background
