Wait..Wait..Wait..!!!

Considering the promo/marketing that 'F.A.M.E' has gotten (despite the "self-inflected GMA drama") it's doing VERY well..!!

Again, it's all ROI (return on investment). Wasn't it L.A. Reid who'd counseled Rihanna during 'Rated-R' and now 'LOUD'? Talk about your "broken/failed investments" - why can't Rihanna sell CDs? Why is SHE a "singles artist"..?? Where's the "genius that is L.A. Reid" in THAT regard?

He has Rihanna in a '360 contract,' Def Jam has to be repaid somehow; (again) she's NOT moving units, not enough so to cover the expense of creating and bringing to market(promoting), her CD.

Rihanna isn't/wasn't smart enough to have orchestrated that entire 'Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna fiasco'. L.A. Reid had a hand in that ATTEMPTED 'Breezy-career assassination'!

L.A Reid's recent now-reoccurring failures have now FAR-outdone/out-shown his now-near-two-decades-old successes: RIHANNA! When it's all said and done; at day's end - L.A. Reid will be remembered for that biblical failure that is 'Rated-R'. Never before was an artist so-built-up to an ear-splitting crescendo, to then only fail so miserably. Long into the future, they'll be studying the 'Rated-R' marketing/promo campaign to see went wrong. It'll be all the talk at Wharton - TRUST!

I'll end with this question/though: With Rihanna now a "singles artist", unable to move CDs; seeing her now entered into a '360 contract', if you're an up-and-coming artist, would YOU sign with him, or seek HIS council? (EXACTLY!)

..L.A. Reid is a fading, failing, floundering analog signal in a digital age.

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