After the "Erotica" era, Madonna was the most hated woman in the world. She bounced back with RoL and CoaDF. She's still considered the Queen of Pop.
Do we even need to address the Michael Jackson scandals? If people can still care about him and love him after unconfirmed but widely believed pedophilia, beastiality and child abuse accusations, then he was pretty frickin' awesome.
Whitney with her drug use. She's still considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
Hell, Elvis is so iconic that the constant "he never died!" rumors STILL convince idiotic people. The King of Rock was hated in his time.
20 years from now, no one's gonna give two ***** about Britney Jean's floppage. Or even the Breakdown. They're gonna remember the music. The performances. The videos. The BRITNEY of it all.
So forget this flop era. Focus on how Britney is flawless and iconic and immortal
Lorde is one of those very basic tryhard "indie" bitches who appeal to pre-teen Tumblr users who think of themselves as music nerds only because they listen to music that's not only generic pop when real music nerds like me look at those people and laugh
A remix with Legend X could potentially save Gaga's career but I don't know if I'd want X to do it. At least not on Sexxx Dreams or DWUW. It would have to be something new and amazing.
