Seeing as she's lost it so much, she probably hoped this could center her a little bit more, and hopefully some good press could lift her spirits. But, as I suspect, she wasn't mentally prepared and couldn't handle the pressure, and what you saw is the sad, sad result. I think she needs some time off but I can't blame her for trying again.samantha von xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396778604618525034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035562189241283525.post-14624266699004133182007-09-17T02:51:00.000-06:002007-09-17T02:51:00.000-06:00While I agree with you on most accounts, I lost yo...While I agree with you on most accounts, I lost you in the last sentence. I believe that she <I>shouldn't</I> have to go down like this, but as soon as she decided it was a good idea to make a "comeback" and put herself in front of millions of people to be judged on her performance, I believe she does <I>deserve</I> everything she gets, because she invited it. Nobody SHOULD go through what she is going through, but she could have ended it long ago when she had the chance (and I think it's safe to say we all thought she actually did let it end). By saying "hey look at me, I'm gonna rip it up again," she got most of America on the edge of their seats ready to rip her to pieces. It was a lose/lose situation, even if she was "good" by MTV standards. Oh well, I guess that's the price you pay of being in the public eye. Better to go out big than to fade away?Aaroneoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938679931192013402noreply@blogger.com
