after her collabo with t-pain completely & utterly flopped, it just REEKED of desperation. collab w/JT, p-pop all over the video....it was just sad. & then even THAT was barely a hit. yet she doubled down on that on the next project w/"ride."

her career makes me yearn for the days when artists figured they couldn't make a career out of music, and when you did the "where are they now?" segments, they were off doing something COMPLETELY non-music related like being a lawyer or owning a light mfg company lol*. now folks jump through hoops to try to stretch that 15 minutes out for as long as possible.

*like on unsung, 1 of the members of heatwave (i think) left to become a stockbroker. really? that's unthinkable nowadays.
