OMG, you remember that a year later? I just went to watch again. The current state of my bathroom floor = freezer, so carpet sounds good but better yet, warm floors!

Her oldest kid was born in 2011. I feel like her career was already in a down-swing by then. Did the kid make you release Sheezus?

Honestly I thought it was just me being woefully unaware of her work and going "...idk man I don't think it was the children's fault."

It was def already on the downswing bc she was having substance abuse issues after her second album, i think she said in her book everything after that was a mess

ngl I was just about to look up how old her kids are so ty for saving me the trouble. she was def already on the downswing and had a bad rep in the industry by then

Are those kids old enough to ruin her career?

I do think a lot of musicians run into the same problem comedians do where they put their whole life into their first successful piece of work and they run out of interesting life experiences to draw on for future work.

I remember way back when she had a miscarriage followed by a stillbirth, before these two girls were born. Such a sad thing to happen.

she wrote in her book the miscarriage never happened.

she got pregnant and didn't want to keep the baby. the press was hounding her (weirdly they were going to publish a story about her being pregnant a week before she discovered she was in fact pregnant) and didn't want to deal with the tabloids shaming her for terminating so she said she miscarried to explain it away.

[misoras]

Awful.

Oh how sad. Glad she still had the choice
