Truely ironic. From song lyrics at least I have discovered that artists do what they have to do and feel what they feel at that specific moment. Nobody knows the future. I wouldn't believe anybody claiming he will never sell out or go pop. If you're doing a decent living with your not so mainstream music, okay. But as soon as your career starts to go nowhere, decisions have to be made or

Especially Hip Hop artists who brag a lot are guilty of this kind of irony. If you come from any underground into the mainstream, you can easily claim you're better or more authentic than the other acts. It's actually an integral part of the hip hop game to brag that you're the best, the others are bad and how cool and authentic your shit is. Even famous poets changed direction when they got older or were successful. I've seen tough rappers (it's debatable if they're really that way) going pop. I've seen Nelly get a feature on an *NSYNC song. I've seen Tiesto going from #1 Trance DJ to commercial EDM house music.
I recently heard about how Radiohead's Thom Yorke saying (in the 90s) he doesn't like plastic Britney. I believe no artist can be authentic. Everything is image and everything that a band or a musician is doing is a conscious decision. At least that would be the sane way to do things. Just randomly doing anything and saying whatever you think or what you really think would be stupid. Cos you have to sell. And you have to reinvent yourself after few years or 2 albums. I think part of the blame is on the naive fans. They simply believe what they're told. They put their favourite artists on a pedestal. And we cannot see where the artist ends, the real person starts and how much influence the label or other factors have.
Irony at its finest.
Then after writing this she uses sex appeal to sell records a couple years later. Sad.
