She needs to take a break that coincides perfectly with her time as a judge on the X-Factor in the fall.
But really, I hope she closes out this era with two singles from TDCC and then takes some time for herself. Hopefully then she can give us on a more mature, well crafted third album in Summer 2013. I'm here for her making an album that would get the critics in her corner and make people respect her more.
Plus I really do want that one-time stint as an X-Factor mentor during the break, she so has the personality for it.
