They say when the cats away the mice will play. So with Beyonce planning to take a six month break from music it opens up an opportunity for some of other names to shine.

Which one of these female R&B talents is going to capitalize the most on Beyonce absence? Is it time for Kelly Rowland to shine while Beyonce’s huge shadow is not hovering over her. Could one of last year’s bright new stars, Keri Hilson, take the next big step with B out of the picture? Rihanna? She may gain even more attention from the paparazzi with Bey off the scene. How about Kelis? New album, no Beyonce sounds like a winning formula.

A. Kelly Rowland
