"I'm glad 'Here I am' sold more than 350-K copies, that's very decent."

I just REFUSE to do the 'mental masturbation' thing, or indulge in 'Rowdog speculation': If you can provide some proof, maybe a link ON Soundscan, or on Billboard?

But the question you now sidestep still stands: will we see the 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland come the 2012 X-Factor U.K. season..??

@Alex Thomas --

"It is a fair number and it’s certainly better than the disaster which was Ciara’s last attempt."

Until you can post a CREDIBLE link from/on a CREDIBLE SITE, then your "over 350-K 'Here I am' sales" is just one more turn of the "spin Kelly" wheel. I'm sorry, but Ciara was NEVER given weekly access to '15-Million "MOTIVATED" discretionary spending Europeans', as a sitting judge/mentor on X-Factor U.K., as your fave had!

..And for her to move, WORLD WIDE, LESS-THAN 300K is "honest" in its brutality. And, now explains why Katie Perry is now chanced at 90% that she'll be seen on 2012 X-Factor U.K., and why your fave won't..

(Meh..) Yet another failure, in a now-realized long list of failures, for the 30-something-year-old Kelendria Trene Rowland.. Alex, it's time to..(wait for it..) "MOTIVATE" ourselves: surrender to the inevitable, and face it with bravery and dignity..

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