@BJK Solo -- I guess we're near, what the BullFighters call "The Moment Of Truth," 'eh? ... I'm talking August 15th, roughly 1-month from now!

So now, we'll see if-all-the "Photo-Ops", "Rihanna-esque sidewalk-fashion shows" will have "been for naught!" ... I mean, with THIS CD, it's either "sink-or-swim for Ciara," no? If this CD does-NOT do-well, it'll leave her, in-a-hole-so-deep, it'll-be-near-impossible for her to ever emerge!!

So, for Ciara, it's binary: "1 or 0; yes or no; live or die" ... !!!!

To tell the truth, after "Kelis' recent hostile-reception" and the NOW-REALIZED slow-train wreck -- "The Last Girl On Earth"/"Rated R", what-will-fate hold for Ciara? ... I'm curious, I'm really, really curious ...!!!

X,Y,"and Z" -- OUT..!!
