Kelly Rowland & 10 Other Underrated Artists Who Deserve More Shine (PHOTOS)

Singer Kelly Rowland has had one hell of a year!

With her hit single "Motivation" and her upcoming album "Here I Am," it's safe to say that Kelly has been underrated, underestimated and overlooked as a legitimate R&B diva for far too long.

In a recent interview with MTV, rapper 50 Cent cited Kelly Rowland as being the "most underrated female soloist" in the game. 50 chit-chatted with MTV about his favorite up and coming new artists and Kelly Rowland definitely got him excited.

Kelly, who has been in the shadows of her good-friend Beyonce since the days of Destiny's Child, hasn't had it easy as a solo artist. Competing in a market where there seems to be only room for two or three top divas, Kelly has finally solidified her spot.

Kelly is uber-talented, sexy and a genuinely nice girl. Everyone, including her "sister" Beyonce, always speaks so highly of Kelly's natural talents.

With Kelly taking a gig as a judge on the UK's hit show X-Factor, it's pretty apparent she's moving her stardom to international status.

Since Kelly has been labeled as the "most underrated female soloist" by 50 himself, GlobalGrind rounded up 10 other artists who we believe are underrated.  

Our lists includes artists like The Weeknd and J.Cole and everyone in between. Take a look at our favorite underrated artists on the next few pages!
