She must be trying to get out of her contract because she has to know that album is over. Frankly, I wish she would dress more classy but thats really isnt the problem. Bottom line - if she comes correct with the live performances(i.e. not sounding hoarse, dead, off key, and etc) she can come back. I think since the awful Micheal Jackson funeral performance and countless others of this era where she sounded bad people just started to believe she could'nt sing outside the studio anymore. Look at Susan Boyle. If you are not a dancer, fashionista, or exciting performer you need to be able to bring it live.
