I understand the fact about the whole "sexy" image and everything, but I feel the same. Her album (miss)understood really turned me off. The singles were GREAT, but when the album came out?
Secret was okay, but I've definetly seen better.
Maybe it's because of the absence of "new" things (except part of Me). Maybe when she comes out with something new (after her Asia Tour), things'll get better.
All we can do is sit and wait.
