@Sam/TGJ Staff --

Word to the wise: rush to Kelly Rowland's house, remove all the knives, razors, scissors, glass bottles; make dull all the sharp edges and hard corners; child-proof the windows, stairs, and remove any/all prescriptions for her medicine cabinets.

re: "If her label don’t believe she’s commercially potent enough to release an LP in her domestic market, and she failed to attract audiences in that very market, why in Kelly Rowland‘s name do they believe she’ll fare any better elsewhere on essentially the same show?"

But Sam, the same logic/rational can be used to against/with Kelly Rowland:

1.) Why is Kelly Rowland now being so heavily marketed to U.S. audiences when "Here I am" only moved less-than 150-K U.S. retail units?! For her entire career, the now almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, has been nothing short of a disaster in the U.S., what makes Ms. Rowland/her handlers think it'll now be any different?
2.) Sam, she toured with one of summer 2011's hottest acts: Chris Brown, while on his "F.A.M.E" (Fuck All My Enemies) tour. It had ZERO effect on U.S. "Here I am" sales.

Sam, given your rational, Kelly Rowland should NEVER again release an album in Europe!!

..But we know better, now don't we, Samuel? That "Kelly Rowland perpetual motion failure machine" will no doubt reboot, reconstitute and again assault our ideas of talent, stage-worthiness, and "natural" beauty.
