Just because it's a "webpage" does not make it true. The fact that your source is from WORDPRESS is even more appalling. I, or some fanatic, both have the power to upload conspiracy theories to Wordpress.
I don't know how many times this needs to be repeated: "AN INTERNET BLOGGER DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CAUSE AN ALBUM TO FLOP"
Yes, he wrote horrible things about her, but did I read them at the time? No. Did most of the general public? No. Mostly just pop culture fans, including Xtina fans.
Bionic flopped because of Bionic, Just because YOU like an album does not mean everyone else will. Same thing with Lotus, Pigrez had nothing but praise for it and it STILL flopped.
Some pop stars do not last forever. No matter if an essay from Wordpress says different.
I wish I was kidding.
