I'm wondering how people are liking this change, and if anyone even noticed? I honestly wasn't even conscious of the fact that she'd brought the hip-hop sound to a minimum and then did away with it. I'm glad she can evolve so successfully as a pop act!

ah well you could say it had its flaws - the one you named. Uncontrolled had superb songs but was a sloppy album. Yes, it made ground for the re-direction, but it wasn't a smooth transition.
