I can't believe how I've kind of betrayed myself with her music. I was one of those fans who was determined to like EVERYTHING she does.

I am so not interested in that kind of diehard fandom now. I've allowed myself to think more carefully about the music I enjoy.

I guess I'll put it this way....I have no Idea what most of the songs on Trouble sound like, and I am totally ok with that. XD I think I was pretty disappointed in that release. I used to think that there was no room for disappointment if you're a "true fan" but that's not even kind of true! I have found that my favorite albums of hers are A Song for XX and Loveppears, and I'm just selective with the rest.

My Story is also one of her albums that I now love. Some of her newer releases are just not enjoyable for me, and I'm honestly surprised to have come to this conclusion.

It's like...I'm not impressed with her current style as an entertainer or something. She is so talented and still an inspiration to me, but I am starting to feel disenchanted by her performances because her acting is so over the top. I miss seeing her deep, complicated performances.

I know styles change over the years though, and honestly, music seems to be more about huge performances these days.
