"Kelly is building her fanbase"..?! o~0 HUH..?! WHAT NOW..?!

Her first and ONLY "notable" U.S. Domestic release was October, 22nd, 2002 "Simply Deep" which was Certified Gold, and then returned 2-Million WW. That was some 10-YEARS AGO with "DC then fresh on everyone's mind," and our pockets THEN overflowing with disposable income.

..WHAT'S TAKING HER SO LONG? Kelly Rowland is OVER 30-years-old! She's fast approaching her "expiration date" (as life-spans go in the Pop-Culture Landscape)!

..SHE'S NO SPRING CHICKEN...!!

Let's see, her recent BET performance was "hyped to the hills," we saw black celebs all 'chime in' to then lavish her with praise, congrats and well-wishes. But when THE REAL, AND ONLY MEANINGFUL ARBITERS then ruled (that'd be us: U.S. Retail discretionary-spending public): she FAILS, as witnessed by her "AWOL retail appearance"! Her most-recent U.S. broadcast late-night TV performances were roundly..."dismissed" (I"m being as "delicate" as I can with her/her fan's emotions as possible)!

Listen, if Nicole Scherzinger gets a hit in the U.S., Kelly Rowland will be FINISHED! Don't you think Simon Cowell is watching? Don't you think he's already made "contingent plans"?

Listen, there IS a reason Matthew Knowles allowed/chose Kelly and Michelle to be the core/remaining members of DC. NOW do you get it? Do you NOW see the picture? Now, does her.."lacking/shortcomings", as seen in her "tepid sales" become apparent and finally makes sense?
Still a bit cryptic? Latoya Luckett is beautiful AND VERY TALENTED. So is Farrah Franklin. Don't you see how Matthew Knowles finally realized how much of a "threat" to Beyonce they were? They were then "harshly dismissed", sent to aimlessly roam the wilderness...

"Kelly Rowland/Brand Kelly: never before had one "so failed" after being given so much by so many!"

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