I TOLDJASO...!! There is NO WAY ON EARTH - ABOVE IT - NOR BELOW, that Simon Cowell is going to have her back for 2012. Not after "Here I am" did so poorly. To have her continue for another season is to further deteriorate the 'X-Factor Brand': how can you have a sitting judge/mentor whose CD debuted at #46, then fell off the U.K. Top-100 CD chart in only some 10-weeks? If she would have gotten another contract, it'd have said that Simon Cowell rewards failure - Simon Cowell didn't get to where he now is by "rewarding" failure..!!

So now?! Well 'now', now all the 'spin machines' kick into high gear and we'll all soon read and hear that it was "A-L-L Kelly's ideal".

Somewhere, Matthew Knowles is rubbing his hands, pouring a drink, and twisting the ends of his mustache: "I told ya so"...

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