Please don't laugh at your own jokes! It makes you look more delusional than you already seem!

Again, there is NO way any concert promoter/business man, who themselves had witnessed '8.2-Million supposed-sympathetic souls,' watch her 09 20/20 interview, then-there-after largely dismiss her(by their absence at 'Rated-R' retail counters) would THEN give her GUARANTEED monies: $400k/concert performance! To even then suggest anything else is condescending, if not an insult to one's intelligence!

The 'lead/run up' to that "most-telling 2009 20/20 interview" came with Rihanna's silence for almost 1-year. A year that saw the weekly (obligatory) "Sidewalk Fenty-Fashonista Extravaganza." A year that was awashed by/with that TMZKoolaid that left a naive/weary public judging Chris as "The Villain Of Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna"; and her as the never-did-no-wrong-Spring Lamb!

All of the aforementioned came to an climax when she sat for that well-rehearsed, highly-choreographed, high-gloss add-water-and-mix cotton-candy interview! I'd never before witnessed such a 'well-orchestrated media storm,' as the run-up to that said interview. And then, all for what? NOTHING... That's what..!!!

After a year of being "The WORLD'S Matron Saint Of The Wronged and Forsaken," Rihanna then sat for that interview and was THEN judged to be "Unbelievable, Untrustworthy and therefore, Unmarketable..!! Never before in the history of marketing/promotion, was such resources expended on an artist/brand, but to only then have it/then then fall well-short of expectations; thereby bitterly disappointing!

(To contrast..) Chis' DWTS appearance (if YOU read the comments on the mainstream blogs) was generally met with a collectively 'disapproving of his GMA behavior,' but then, in the very next sentence, then commending his dancing skills/showmanship. This, one can then ONLY conclude, will serve HIM well come his upcoming U.S./European 'F.A.M.E' tour (which'll itself, once it begins, reenergize 'F.A.M.E' sales)..!!

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