No, really. That's not it at all. She just sucks. The only reason anyone likes her in the first place is that they've had her music force-fed to them by the music industry (just like almost everything else), and the only reason the music industry put all that backing behind her was to cash in on the buzz generated by the death of her husband. She's just a puppet and I think this fact is starting to dawn on her (hence the ever-downward spiral of her music and personal behaviour). I guarantee her label will punt as soon as she's not making them any more money.Originally posted by: Tom
I like her and her music.
I don't think she fits into the rigid cultural world that America has degenerated into since the 1980s, where there is mostly only an illusion of diversity as far as mainstream culture, and little tolerance for anything unusual from brain-dead mass-market consumerists.
At any rate, an artist owes it to their fans (however misguided they are 😛 ) to put on a decent show considering the price of tickets these days and this kind of crap is just totally inexcusable.
