Her debut was released in Japan in 2002 ![rip](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif) US release was actually 2003, just before Beyoncé's Crazy In Love. I'm inclined to believe that Beyonce was a priority but then.
Who was Blu Cantrell dating?
I never said features are a make or break for all artists.

Jermaine was out before Michael and yet Michael came out after and outdid him. If you are a star, you are the star. Having a big brother out and selling didn't stop MJ.
What you are inclined to believe doesn't matter. Solo's first album was pushed hard, she had movies, countless spots that newcomer is not supposed to get accessed to (thanks to her sister just like Matthew got his entry in the business thanks to his daughter) all in the same year and in promotion to her new album. she was pushed HARD!
