I will just say in general that it has seemed to me that, as she has gotten older, she has gotten more desperate in her career decisions. Since her voice is not what it once was, and she can no longer make "hit records," so to speak, it seems like she has ridden the coattails of everyone imaginable in order to get noticed or remembered, and that makes me so sad, since I am a huge fan. I think the most obvious example of this kind of behavior was when she re-made What the World Needs Now with all those hip-hop artists of the day, on the assumption that all their fans would buy the record.
But I am not giving up on her and in fact, I have just today received the word telling me that her new CD is in the mail and on its way to me. I am very interested to see how it sounds.
