Well thats why Britney took a risk releasing a song like "I'm a slave 4 U" that was clearly a complete departure of her previous buubblegum music that her fans loved , the chances most of her fans not liking it were pretty high, and it was a risk she decided to take.
She once again changed her music for "In the zone", and thats the risk , when you get out of the comfort zone and old formulas that you know are successful and instead try something new, Britney its not like Beyonce in that aspect, Beyonce still releases the exact same type of music she was releasing in 1997 when her Destiny's child band started.
Britney has also released albums and singles that didn't follow musical tends on certain times, her label didn't want to release "Toxic" as single because there was a explosion and tend for R&B / Urban and hip hop music, "Toxic" was dance she didn't care and released it ignoring her label, the entire album "In the zone" was riskier than Beyonce's "Dangerously in love album".
Britney must've been the very first artist that was brave enough to hire "Danja" as a solo producer without Timbaland. and I think the whole album was a risk given her delicate situation with the media, her image was so low at that time that she could release a ballads album to soft her image, instead she released the most unapologetic and inmoral album possible.
Recently she hasn't taken much risks musically, but she is still not affraid of trying new things, she used dubstep when it wasn't that frecuent in the pop scene.
please point me to these "r&b" songs.
I'm done. Thanks for the kiis though. If you're going to start making up lies, we can't have a serious discussion.
Although I do disagree with you, Britney is risky to an extent. But she is one of the few pop artists that are actually risky tied along with Michael, Madonna and Gaga.
