I agree with suicide. She has come to an age that it is probably impossible to create your best work no matter who you work with. But she could be doing better music if she weren´t working with these people. Her albums are not going to sell like that regardless cause nobody sells anymore especially at that age. So she could do a fantantic experimental album and risk it all. Wouldn´t hurt her one bit. It´s a similar thing Mariah has been going through for a while. They are not interested in spending that much time creating the best of musics. I suppose even for such monumental artists it comes to a point they want to enjoy life instead of going through all the trouble they used to go through to create the best album possible. Madonna is doing worse than mariah in this regard though. Mariah still records different types of songs at least.
