She rarely gives us top quality (I.e. Fleshed out, completed concepts) anymore. I don't think it's intentional but her themes have been all over the place. And her tours have been copy and paste and copy and copy.
Despite still going to every tour, I can't say I'm as excited as I used to be. Because empty promises or missed opportunities seem to be a very common thing for her now...
I wish she'd get back a team that believes in her, or pushes her. Because her own ideas don't seem to be pushing any boundaries anymore.
I believe she -can- give us greatness, but for one reason or another she's not.
And her *rumored* diva-ness and apparent bad attitude at her past two tv variety shows certainly didn't win her any favor. (Apparently she refused to do certain requests from the comedian guests and stalled filming and required them to rent out a pent house suite at a nearby hotel just to have for her standby time and stuff...)
So there's my semi-rant lol.

Tour-wise, At15 and At16 had fuller concepts than most of the tours she did during her whole career. But I would agree her latest album with a full concept was LOVE again.. But it's not like her albums from MY STORY to RnRC had much concept to them either.
