i don't understand why people are so adament about pointing out that kelly isn't selling records. ok, sure she isn't selling records like you believe, we get that, but the reality of the music industry is that noone is selling records as they should. i understand that people like an artist more than another, but seriously, the era of superstars is gone and over, and the days of pushing units like michael jackson, janet jackson, whitney houston, prince, madonna , is over and done. the eighties and nineties were magical eras in music. it won't be repeated. so all this going back and forth on who the failure is between kelly rowland and others is kind of silly and juvenile. music is dead, anytime you have fans impressed with the garbage that is labled as music, than you know music is dead. so why hate, when reality you should hate on the industry as a whole.

you don't like kelly rowland for whatever reason, than fine, but to disrespect her is so uncalled for, when in reality her music is on the same level as every other female today.

and let's get this right, mj discussed things that matter most in music. the majority of his music was about the plight of the world, about making a change in the environment, famine, war, love , gospel. and finally with a mix of sex appeal. he didn't focus on sex and relationships. his music was positive and not disparaging in anyway. that is one of the major things that set him apart from the rest . everyone , every demographic related to his music. he sold over a billion records because of that.
