"quick to call Kelly Rowland a flop"

Tam, the 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland was given weekly access to some "12-15 Million WELL-motivated discretionary spending X-Factor U.K./European viewers" when she was then a sitting judge/mentor of talent; yet still SHE failed to move 300K World Wide! (If you can furnish an industry link to disprove that figure, I'd welcome it). Let's also NOT forget she was prominently placed and was then seen on one of summer 2011's most talked about tours: Chris Brown's U.S. 'F.A.M.E Tour'. And what had your fave then done with THAT - yet another golden, heaven sent, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Well, less-than 200K U.S. retail units of 'Here I am' moved: another FAIL in a long list of FAILURES by your fave!

*sigh* Tam, never before, in Humanity's well-documented slog upon planet earth, was there witnessed an AS well-defined example of failure, desperation, denial and spin, as we're now witnessing regarding YOUR fave - the 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland.

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