Kelly Rowland has grown into a fine performer and a successful pop star after her time with the Destiny's Child. The other night on X Factor UK, she showed fans in the audience and viewers at home how it's done.

Since this is Kelly's first time on the panel as a permanent judge, this performance has been long anticipated.

Not to spoil it for you, but suffice it to say that she didn't disappoint.

Dressed in a pair of shimmering hotpants and matching top, Kelly performed a medley of three of her most popular dance tracks.

She kicked off the number with the David Guetta-produced “When Love Takes Over,” slipped into “Down for Whatever” shortly after, and closed with a version of “Commander,” another collaboration with David Guetta, that was barely recognizable.

It would be somewhat redundant to note that the singing was top-notch. However, one can't do that without mentioning the fact that Kelly managed to put on one of her best live performances while also keeping up with the shirtless backup dancers that seemed, at one point, to crowd the stage.
