Then she released a Spanish album in 2009(she pretty much vanished from the World music scene except for two singles that smashed in a couple countries) and her 2012 album was a gigantic flop - even when it was one of the best Pop albums of the year.

So yeah, she was huge in 2006, but then she decided to go into completely different directions(no more generic Timbaland pop, another language...) and disappeared from the scene, even though her music improved.
To be honest, I hated Folklore... And here in Germany there was no way to escape from it in 2003... For me it was plain annoying ... lol I listened to it again some time ago, but it annoys me as much as it did back then. The only song I truly love from her is Maneater... xD
