"Remember when good singers actually sang on their records?"

Go ahead and call me old fashioned but I just don't get what B is doing... besides making money of course. I would think at the level she is already at she'd want to elevate the quality of her music and in doing so move her fan base forward... I guess that's just not who she is. Beyond what's being passed off as music here, B doesn't really even get a chance to show she can sing... why would someone with pipes like this takes a song better suited for B level voice instead of something that lets her shine? I'm sure it will end up being a big hit... but in the end it's doing nothing to advance her as an artist or help her place in the pantheon of greats.
