!!AH HAAAA..!!!!! So THIS is what getting fired from your job looks like because you were given weekly-access, for months on-end, to 12-Million ready, willing, and able U.K./European 'discretionary-spending consumers', and you horribly disappoint your boss by then only moving a pathetic 150-K units of your CD!

The almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland has, by now, perfected this "suffering-defeat-in-elegant-style" look; I think we'd all agree , yes?

How effortless, how graceful she makes it all work. She seems to glide above it all..

..but further, deeper inspection then uncovers, and then reveals Kelly Rowland: an entire career of 'seamless' "upwards failure". Kelly Rowland's career is one of repetitive failure. Cycles of squandered opportunities, measured in GHZ(Giga Hertz), then chronicled, for now a whole decade as 'solo artist'.

It must be something to have to depend on spin, rumor, speculation, short memories, and the even shorter attention spans of the 'gullible and ignorant' to be the foundation of your career. But when you're absent of any discernible talents, when you're not in possession of that priceless "IT" factor, you're left with the sobering realization that you've learned NOTHING after decades spent as the life-sized "human cardboard cut-out" for one of the MOST dynamic stage performers to sing and dance around, you then must reach for any lifeline, no matter however ratchet.

And there you have it, TGJ bloggers, the "long and short" of Kelly Rowland.

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