I didn't say I KNEW she was lying honey. READ! I said you guys are gullible and believe everything she says. Just because she says it doesn't mean it's true, sweetheart. People do some things because of marketing purposes. You're trying way too hard, sweetie and it's not working. You're getting all worked up over MY opinion. Calm down, damn!

Rated R did actually fit a great marketing decision at that time. Don't be dumb! After the incident, it would only be fitting to push the issue with an album geared toward that. Unfortunately, it didn't work out in reference to sales/success, but it did work as being her best album because it was full of substance and depth, unlike her first three albums.

I think this LOUD era is all for sales, otherwise she would be doing something different from what others are doing. (see: Only Girl) Being happier doesn't mean resort to generic music.

Keep trying.
