X dude! You must not know Gary Barlow & Take That were the BIGGEST thing in the UK around the time DC were just getting started over here. Take That were in the middle of a sell UK Tour (100,000 seater tour) during the audition stages. Many people only knew Beyonce and most of the people that buy music now a days in the UK are more likely to know Tulisa Cuntinstavlos (singer of the cult band NDubz) than Destiny Child. Hun, you may think you are some book of knowledge when it comes to Miss Rowland-Knowles but you don't know everything about everything my love. Kelly was not a household name and I really don't think "Commander" was #1 but Tulisa cousin and NDubz band mate was riding high in the charts during X factor, hence a lot of support for Kellys nemesis and Cheryl Cole lookalike.
