Many thanks for your feedback. I didn't mean to offend when I said, "Columbia dropoout." Bill Gates is often described as a "Harvard dropout," Alicia Keys, a "Columbia dropout," with no offense intended. Hey, I went to Columbia myself, and I'm proud of her having spent time there. As for "flopped," Exodus did flop in the U.S., and she herself candidly acknowledged that it failed to sell well. She is a very talented singer and songwriter, as the critic acknowledged, and several people I talked to who heard her new single said they were interested in buying it and saw top 40 potential.
