If you see it that way. But then you'll be doing what 'the industry' has now been doing since 2002's 'Simply Deep': pretend; wish; hope for the best; repackage and reissue.

..And let's be MORE frank and even MORE to the point: the 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland had WEEKLY-ACCESS, as that X-Factor U.K. sitting judge/mentor, to some 12-15 Million U.K./European viewers with discretionary monies at THEIR disposal. And what did she do with it? World Wide sales LESS-THAN 350-K! (If you can furnish an industry link that contradicts this figure, then I'd appreciate it)

"Here I am" debuted at #46 and in only a scant 10-weeks quickly fell off the U.K. Top-100 Album Chart. Which all means that, that "less-than 350-K" sales figure is within actual range and 'just' close enough.

The "broken record" ends with you BEGINNING to coming to grips with an ugly, bitter, UNmotivated reality..

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