I found your whole cynical write-up on R&B to be snide and unnecessary. Jennifer, bless her heart, could do any type of music and the results would most likely be generally the same. It has little to do with her making adult R&B or "broadening" it to fit shopping mall pop. She's basically a more chocolate, church-ier version Leona Lewis. Obviously talented, nice to look at, cordial/pleasant in presentation, but doesn't have the right image to immediately strike a cord with the average listener or the right team behind her to manipulate the market in her favor. If someday she manages to score a hit, it'll be because luck was finally on her side, but it won't be because of any of what you're talking about. If JHud had made "Blurred Lines," "Happy" or even "Problem," chances are it wouldn't have charted significantly better than "Spotlight."
