Xtina is over. and anyone who is denying that is just stanning too hard. she can have a career in music of course and she is respected for her voice and beautiful ballads but as a selling power in music she has fallen short waaaayyyy too many times. at this point we can classify her as "done commercially".
Brit on the other hand has just begun her "clear downfall". Britney Jean has been her first true flop and if her new record does not do good and sells similarly to Britney Jean then we will have a problem...however like Bey , Brit has amassed a strong legacy that makes it seem like even if she "flops" she is still a winner.(to a certain extent of course)

Bey could wake up tomorrow & decide she doesn't care about being on top anymore & would much rather just be home with Blue. She could pull a Britney and just start doing it for fun & start just releasing music for her fans. I mean, her whole last era was designed so she didn't have to promote it. What if she doesn't wanna promote her next album and doesn't have the surprise release to push it? She's not strong singles wise so she may not have singles to push it either.

I think she still has a few successful eras left in her but again, nothing lasts forever.

No adds NSYNC's stats to Justin or No Doubt's to Gwen. Shoot no one adds DC's to Kelly and Michelle. On the Hive want to combine the stats of two separate acts.

"Outlasting" =/= "Lasting forever" for those arguing points not even being made.

I think I said in one of my previous posts that it's up to Beyonce. If she wants to quit then she can and that's when she'll start to "decline." But as long as she wants to keep doing this wholeheartedly, then there's nothing that will stop her.

Again, it's not to be all "cocky" but the fact is, she is too focused on her career. She still does everything to perfection, you know, works really hard (most of her peers don't), so a person/artist like that can only decline when they choose to.

Does it work in reverse? Wouldn't that technically mean DC isn't over and the group has lasted almost 20 years? Yeah that doesn't make sense, since they are two separate acts.

I agree with most of this. I don't think she'll decline anytime soon because she works really hard but who knows how she'll play the next era. I disagree with the last part though, there will come a day where she'll underperform/flop, no matter how hard she works or promotes.
