It doesn't take much in the way of "talent" to look at a chart, can it? I mean..you look at it, you look for a name. A "name" of an artist and said artist's CD. No "Differential Equations/Physical Chemistry" needed.

Take for example: http://www.theofficialcharts.com/albums-chart/ <--That's the up-to-date U.K. Top-100 CD chart. That's 100 (ONE HUNDRED) CDs from the respective artists. Out of that, said ONE HUNDRED, there's NO mention of "Kelly Rowland", nor "Here I am".

..The very same can be seen/read on the World Top-40 CD chart: mediatraffic(dotde)/albums.htm <--NOT ONE SINGLE MENTION OF/FOR KELLY ROWLAND, NOR "HERE I AM"!!

(As I've said. And what'll be soon realized..) 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland will SOON be replaced on X-Factor U.K. How can ANY sitting judge of talent, then "mentor" or be "fit" to "judge" said talent when she can't even put her CD upon the World CD chart? Or, yet-worse, can't..."motivate" her way onto the U.K. Top-40 CD chart? If she remains on X-Factor, she'll FURTHER diminish the X-Factor brand. If you hadn't noticed, BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing" is currently trending upwards. And, while climbing that upward path, steadily eating into X-Factor viewership/market-share.

Listen, place yourself in Simon Cowell's shoes. If you were he, what would YOU do? ..EXACTLY..!! X-Factor U.K. is now staffed (the sitting judges) with malfeasant incompetents. A change MUST come - like fast! And if you were her record label, would YOU invest in her CDs? Short of a "serious" '70-30 split' (in favor of the label) in ALL Kelly Rowland/Brand-Kelly "revenue stream(s)" (360-contract) there is absolutely ZERO way you, as a label, can invest in her.. "Cute", "kissing to be clever" smile, nor not, investing in Kelly Rowland is a LOSING venture..!!!

And what'll prove to itself the final nail in her brand/career's coffin? Well, after given such a international stage, and performing so poorly. Who'll then give her, again, another said chance? Look for 30-someting-year-old Kelly Rowland to now quickly fall into obscurity. She'll "fight it", all the way down. But "obscurity" and career death is now the sentence imposed upon Kelendria Trene Rowland..

It is so ruled..

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