It’s quite a comeback. No matter what you think of her, her music or the never-ending drama that is her life. You gotta admit that it is impressive that only a year ago she was branded madder than a hatter, and now she’s back with what looks like another successful album and tour, aptly called Circus. It feels like she only just pulled herself together (i.e. hasn’t publically displayed any behavior that could be interpreted as mentally unsound in over three months), and she and her PR machine are already hard at work to reinvent her persona and reassure the public that the insanity was just a wacky phase. She’s ready to reclaim her pop princess throne. If she was anybody else, I’d think maybe she should take some more time off, but her last break lead to her very public breakdown. So maybe this is her natural state, which would explain why she’s so good at it. Though I’ve never bought her CDs, I do like hearing most of her singles. And I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for her; she doesn’t have the best voice, or the best moves, but she does Pop like no other.
