then she goes robotic/bionic dated dance
then she goes whereever lotus was supposed to land.
Janet, MJ, Madonna, Britney, Beyonce knew how to reinvent their sound and their base still new and identified with them.
You can't go from one extreme to the next to an entirely different one and expect people to follow

Bingo!!
That's exactly what I've said over the years...the re-inventions were too drastic...she lost more of her previous audience each & every time.
there's a way to appease yourself artistically but still give your base part of what they came to love you for over the years. you don't just up & say as a pop star....i want to have this type of album & do a FULL project of it. you need to balance the two sides of what's familiar while still introducing a different sound into the project.
