Once Again, America Deprived of Greatness

Why can't the States wise up and realize Kylie has something more to offer us than Locomotion?  I know the record companies are trying to play it safe, but who the hell made the decision to replace Kylie on Taio Cruz's Higher with Travie McCoy?  First of all, Travie is a grown man... shouldn't you go by TRAVIS?  Secondly, Kylie is obviously the better choice.  There's a reason Katy Perry wrote this song about him (allegedly)... this single is going to circle the drain.  Island Records needs to wise up and keep Kylie on the US and UK versions.  Which do you prefer?
