Holding her up to the standard of her previous popularity is basically insane, with ANY artist, especially in the age of filesharing, globalization, and less-than-accurate charts. And by the way, I don't think he was a fan himself, and seemed pretty objective about it.

finally someone states it right
Like all artists, they rise and then basically live off there fan base, no one stays "the toast of the town" forever but people will still buy her stuff if there not a fan, just not everything she releases. If they like the song then they might buy it compared to fans who pre-order and would kill to see these covers
