Her team is a damn mess they are all over the place,they need to coordinate her projects in a way that makes sense and pick better songs for her while they are at it.

The fact that she said that she wanted the Chris collab doesn't mean that she
really wanted it, you know?
We all know that she have a real talent when it comes to lie on interviews lol. She was trying to have at least an Rhythmic hit, and when labels usually wants to break their artists on that format, they usually pick Chris as a feature, because he still gets a lot of airplay on that format. Yes, she could have Drake, Bieber, but they are way bigger artists than Chris, probably to have them on a song costs a lot and as we know, the label wasn't that interested on spending money to fund that album campaign, so don't expect that kind of big features. So it wasn't a dumb move... It was the best that she could do at that time.
US radio never will play her songs. This is a fact. She should forget about the US audience when it comes to business, for real, and I think that Warner knows that, maybe that's why she was signed specifically on Atlantic Records UK.
And well, about the songs... We all know that producers will save the most radiophonic songs to the most profitable acts. I really love Poison and I like Body on Me, so it's a thing about your own personal taste.
She's on a new label, working with a whole new team when it comes to actually release her music, so I'll give to Atlantic/Warner a shot. Rita and her team previewed the first songs from her (now shelved) album through TV ads (A Little More for DKNY, Single Most Amazing for Roberto Cavalli), the first single (IWNLYD) was promoted through the Rimmel London advert, the second single (Get a Little Closer) was going to be promoted on her Adidas TV ad, but the label blocked the single release after the Calvin mess. So they know how to "coordinate her projects in a way that makes sense", they just need to have the label on her side this time, not against her.
I don't really care about her commercial success, I just want her to prove everyone that she's a capable and creative singer with this album. She needs to bring back the credibility on her musical career. I'm really frustrated on her status as a public person right now.
