As she nears the Big 4-0, as she see's the increasing impossibilities of toppling the Beatles from their throne and witnessing the manic competitiveness of younger starlets like Beyonce, Britney and Rihanna gaining heat and ground; She goes back to her roots to remind people what she and only a few others in history were capable of doing really well and what made her really big.
Singing ballads with a souring and effortless voice of flawless technique and emotive melisma.
Let's face it, these days, the emulators of Whitney, Mariah and Celine, struggle to hit the same notes with the same effortless finesse.
Lee Ann Rimes, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce , Fergie , Leona Lewis, Alicia Keys , Nicole Scherzinger, Lara Fabian, Anastacia et al. You name it. They only prove that sheer lung power is not nearly enough to match the un paralleled charisma of lyrical phrasing and time-foresaken technique .
These days, the music business is tough.
CD sales are dropping and every star out there is overexposed by the sheer media frenzy that modern IT brings forth.
So, a CD is not good enough.
Make that double discs, special 'limited' edition versions, remix CDs and even a greatest hits compilation once every other year.
All speak of
the hard realties of an undying Superstar.
