I don't know any of the others.
I guess as a fan of hers I have a very different perspective of her career. Loose with all those catchy RnB-Pop hits from 2006 is by far my least favorite thing she has ever done, my favorite is 2003's Folklore with it's unique musical style that got rather popular in Germany, but flopped in most other countries. 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.
