I don't have the depth of knowledge/experience wit her you guys do (my little sister at age 12 or so jamming to 'Nasty Boys' = hard to overcome), but it seems to me that over the past few years she's really refocusing her image on elegance, like she's setting out to conquer the Quiet Storm market instead of remaining a pop star.

I want to make a crack about dueting on standards with Rod Stewart. *shrug*

Long story sort I say she's a big enough star, and nipplegate is far enough behind her, that any declining video appeal is overcomeable with good marketing and material.
