"More than anything, though, he won’t want to end up in Usher‘s position – “surface successful” , yet with no firm grip on an audience he once had in the palm of his hand."

Well said, Sam.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's all Chris got up his sleeves now. He doesn't want to deal with the media, good. But he is not Prince or Kanye.

If you go to Billboard website, they named "Look et me Now", one of the best songs of 2011. They praised Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne but they didn't even mention Chris, not a single word.

I was shocked but the truth is white media has decided to ignore Chris. He'll get his #1s, Top 10's and live shows performances but the critics might never praise him as an artist again.

The only way to turn the media - and the general audience - around is either to play it nice either to be some f_cking genius of music. So unless 'Fortune' turns out to be like 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', Sam and I are in for another rambling in 6 months.
