Musically, her least-sophisticated album is probably NEXT LEVEL. But I think her overall low point is the GUILTY era, even though I love the results. A lot of personal misfortunes were going on in her life, and the single sales leading up to it were disappointing. I remember all the people that hoped this would be the new I am...-- she even had the same haircut. So many were expecting exploding sales and got talkin' 2 myself. It was pretty disappointing. Plus, she gained all that weight and looked like she was going downhill. It was when many of us had to except that she was never going to be a million seller again, that she would never recover the same popularity.
