Here's the thing, the cold hard truth (no matter how much we love her and her music) she has no appeal what so ever to the majority of todays music consuming youth, shes 62 ffs and to most 9 - 16 year old shes just old, not to us of course, but thats just a hard fact.
What young kid wants to listen to someone old enough to be a grandmother who's trying desperatly to be relivent and failing?
Harsh for me to write and no doubt harsh to read but no less true.
The ONLY way that I can see that she **might** get back some of her appeal is if she drops trying to act like a trendy black teenager and embraces her age by toning down how she acts but the thing is we all know she wont do that so she is sealing her own fate.
As a life long fan I find that a shame.
