**** I forgot the Tour.
Talk that Tour should start in the fall in the US in my opinion.
late October - December - North America (35 Dates)
Mid January - March 2013 - Australia & New Zealand (16 Dates)
April - May - Asia (10 dates)
Latin America - June (8 Dates)
Europe - June - September (40 Dates)
Africa - September (2 dates)
End The Tour.
I guess no new album until 2014 then.

But I want her next record to be her best yet. I mean its her 7th. So.. she should spend ample time recovering from touring before she gives us anything else. She can premiere the new single at the Grammys that year too.
