Honestly...

I have high hopes for the new album. She does have more talent than people give her credit for. She has credit for writing SOME part of EACH and every one of her songs. So you have to acknowledge that, at least. As far as producers...well, I think it depends who she works with as to what her sound will be like. Her vocals aren't going to change unless she learns to sing better and takes off the autotune. Some Dr. Luke + Max Martin songs should sound great, as long as they can pull off the "cock rock" sound she is after. I'd also really love to see her work with Skrillex, because his style is right up her alley!
