@WHY YOU MAD? re 3:27 pm --

"She’s doing what she has to do to stay relevant, and making money."

"Making Money"..?! How? She's NOT selling CDs, which means she's NOT drawing folks to see her ontour. If anything, she's being a "drain" and causing the "Tour-F.A.M.E" money; if a tree falls in the forest, but no one is there to hear/see it, did it THEN really fall??
"Relevant"..?! How? By flashing her tits which the blogs, by-consensus judged to be "STAGED"..??
With 20-years in the game, her relevance has long-ago passed. So has her "better" days, 2002, almost now 10-years ago - her best-selling year yet!

"Think about it, she is just now starting to broaden her audience in the states."

(Meh..) I'VE LONG "THOUGHT ABOUT IT", this is why I'm here warning Chris, his staff, and the rest of 'Team-Breezy'!!
"Broaden her audience"..?!
How much more of a "bully pulpit/broadness of reach" can one ask for than being in THE biggest girl group of A-L-L time? DC took Kelly Rowland to the mountain top. If you can't capitalize on/off that, then you were never supposed to - in the first place.

"The avenues that she is taking are quite impressive if you ask me."

"Avenues"..?! Like what, failing to capitalize on the opportunity of a lifetime? "Here I Am" is NOW available to U.K. residents via Amazon. If she was as popular, and enjoyed a "fervent following", she'd have charted on itunes/Amazon/U.K. music charts already (see my 12:01 pm post)!
"Quite impressive if you ask me"..?! Then you're a "commoner", whose easily led! You're a "little-dull butter knife" in a world of "lush-elegance and light-speed precision"..!!

"Everything that they are doing is strategically planned to work for her."

*teeth grind* "Strategically planned"..?! OH JOY..!! From HER lips to God's ears!! Listen, here's where you and I are "missconnecting".. What "NEW" thing is 30-Something Year-Old Kelly Rowland hoping to NOW show everyone? Enlighten us? Did she secretly develop a "four-octave" voice? Did she split Ciara's 'double helix', and'll now "gene-graph" Ciara's "dancing gene" unto hers, and SHE'LL now "dance Chris into a stupor"? ..NO?! None of the above..??
The 'march of time' moves on. Kelly Rowland has been in the game for OVER 20-years-now! That's right: OVER 20 YEARS! She's "had HER time", but she didn't make the most of it because she wasn't supposed to..

..What I, and the "discretionary-spending public," are NOW coming to realize, is what Matthew Knowles ALREADY long-ago knew. It's precisely why she AND Michelle were chosen to remain in DC - It's exactly why Latoya AND Farrah were dismissed/removed/dislodged (choose your verb) from DC: Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams AREN'T as talented, ambitious, nor are in possession of "leading lady, front/cover-girl looks"! That final "trifecta" of DC was done by design - NOT CHANCE! Why should he chance/risk anyone else but HIS very own "golden child" with DC's future? He didn't, and it worked marvelously! Say what you will about Matthew Knowles, but that man "planned his work, then worked his plan"!!

Oh, BTW, here's the continuing mournful "Here I Flop" lamentation:
http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi <-- "Here I am" FIFTH week's finals are in: 8K- Units moved (NOT 10,000)..!!! So currently, after 5-LOOONG Weeks, she's at just-over 150K-Units moved!
