It wasn't until ROL 10 years later people developed more respect for her. Who's to say Britney won't have the drive to do that then? Nobody can predict the future and as Nicole echoes through this thread "never say never".

Mmm... Madonna's artistic breakthrough was Like a Prayer. Erotica may have been a flop but you can't say it was a commercial album. And Bedtime Stories wasn't exactly a safe poppy effort either. Ray of Light was just her finest critical/commercial moment as a pop star. It was the second peak in her career.

If we're talking about a more refined and mature sound, based solely on vocals, can Britney do that? |
Everytime.

Who's to say it's impossible? esp. since she has the song writing talent to pull off yet another "mature" album. Unfortunately the Original doll era never happened but Britney still wants to create album with tracks similar to 'Everytime'
She's going on 30, you talk as though she's pushing 55 and it's too late for her. Like I said, the bitch knows how to write a beautifully written ballad/mid-tempo track. She's proven that several times and still does to this day.

Do you really need someone to answer that for you?
The question really is, why is that important? Madonna has never done an album relying on her vocals, but she is still here. I agree that Britney isn't Madonna and it's unlikely that her career will go the way Madonna's has, but it's silly to use the argument that as women age they can no longer rely on fun music.

Why would Britney Spears do that, though? If this is about surviving the next 10 years, she wouldn't kill what she is known for. Like I said, she'll remain progressive in dance tracks. A song like "And Then We Kiss" is a different and mature sound for Britney, while remaining a relatively uptempo song. And I believe it would be successful if ever released. You should listen and tell me if this can be included in the insane idea you have.

Are you serious? What talent does she showcase in her albums or performances?
How is she in control of her career?

No, she can't compare to Beyonce or Lady Gaga right now. But she's still miles ahead of where she was in the Circus era and steadily improving. If her presence and passion hasn't made a return to form by the next album, then we can call her done.

The point is britney is honored more and praised more by other artists than christina is. If you want a list i'll gladly post it.

Instead i want you to put me the list of HOW MANY LEGENDS and Well respected Artists Britney share the same stage with ?

FF is a good album and I bop to it on a daily basis, but as far as mature sound? And I don't understand how Britney can ever mature "her" sound because it honestly isn't mature. And then they want to bring up Madonna. I'm not a Madonna stan but some of the songs people are always mentioning by her are songs I'd never expect her to do. Plus it took her less time to get into a mature sound than Britney. People can throw up "Slave" and "Toxic" all day and while they remain a step up from her usual material they aren't anything you wouldn't expect from her.
People can also talk about Xtina and how she apparently jumps genres just to remain relevant but she does it very well.

I think she would much rather be at home with her boys, being a full time mom. I don't see her releasing another album after thirty five. |
Britney said she is only taking a short break after the tour, and apparently she's already started writing for it. Britney always says that even when she's 'on a break', she's writing or/and recording music, because she can't go without work for too long or she'll go stir crazy.

Perhaps, but would her fans rally behind it.
I mean, some of her stans are in here saying she doesn't have to try a new sound, which leads me to belive that if she went after a more mature sound, her fans probably wouldn't care for it.
Hell, there wasn't one ballad on Femme Fatale.

Exactly. Both Britney and Christina should be releasing their first post-30 albums next year so we'll be able to see very soon how things pan out.

The only complete album to have a mature sound to it for the most part was "In The Zone". You could've seen that vividly in such tracks as "Touch Of My Hand", "Breathe On Me" and why Toxic was a dance track, it most certainly was a mature sounding dance track. Yes sex was heavily mentioned through the album, but you see such things all the time in some Pop girls best albums. I love love love the "Velvet Rope" album by Janet and it's full of sex in that album, yet still praised by critics. ITZ which is the album Britney had the most involvement with in composing, writing and decision making in that era throughout. It was easily her most experimental album to date with the various sounds and genres found on that album.

It hurt her in the short run, but it might serve her well in the long run.

The fact that this topic still being so debatable speaks for itself.

I don't expect much of a change to what we have seen from her the previous three albums, not unless Britney takes it in her hands to be pro-active in the album. When I say pro-active, I don't mean write a few songs here and there. I mean writing, assisting producers in the studio, and experimenting with different sounds she hasn't done before like she did in 2002-2003 recording sessions....oh and the 2004 sessions as well, which was going to be the "Original Doll" album that we never had gotten.  I already know she always has a different vision of how she sees things than her label, because God only knows they heads all the time in the past, especially during the ITZ days.
