well for Warrior and Ke$ha's career, i would go to church every sunday and pray for my good sis. It seems like god did answer my prayers, He gave her a Jewelry line and it sold out!
At the time... horribly. But looking back on situations like MTN, it's nice to know we can all just laugh about it now. #29 was pretty hilarious, and the download day! Oh dear lord, that was such a mess...
People are still pretty bitter about Judas though, mainly because people see it as one of her better songs.
The Animals and Cannibals have humour, so we handled her underperformance with humour. And we're also lucky that our favorite artist produces great pop music, so even if Ke$ha underperforms, she still delivered a great pop album and great pop singles. It'll be worse if you belonged to a fanbase whose artists delivers both bad pop music and underperformed.
But I personally also have artists on my stan card that have not seen much major success (Adam Lambert, Mika, Kelly Rowland, etc.) so I'm used to flopping, if that makes sense.
