You guys are overreacting. I've read Britney interviews from the past and she explained how fame can suddenly give you satisfaction yet you realize later on that everything gets to you and there are times where you cannot handle. Frankly I'm more than happy that she lasted so far in the industry, while her contemporaries come and fade. I thought it was over during her meltdown in 2007, but I'm glad that she came back with great music.
She doesn't have to follow Madonna's footsteps. Britney already made her mark as one of the greatest and most influential artist in music. Don't hold it against her for doing what makes her happy
