Temporal on "Katy & Gaga: living up to the 3rd album "hype""
Every artist is different, so I'm not really holding them to any sort of industry standard that says the 3rd album has to succeed. My December was Kelly's 3rd and worst selling release, but here she is 6 years later still slaying.
You answer the question yourself in the OP. The risk she took was doing a scaled down performance with minimal choreography. We all know if she wanted to she could create an amazing dance routine but she choose not to.
Drunk in love is about the chemistry between her and jay, which is reflected in the video shoot and her performance at the Grammys. No dancing was needed imo.
It was on a justin bieber thread about him taking a mirror selfie in his undies and I said, "mmm papi. lemme eat. tengo mucho hambre por tu huevo!". And I got warned for it.
