I went through my iTunes, and ripped out the Damita Jo tracks to give them another listen. I must say that there are some really good songs on that album which is ashame since the album flopped. There are some good songs on the album after that that could work on tour. The problem with her is her persona. She doesn't sell herself as a personality. She seems stiff, quiet, and aloof. That's why these albums flopped. It's the image problem. Her dancing on songs like All Nite was awful. She has this horrible choreography friend she keeps using. During All Nite in the live performances, she just walks the stage in the middle of it not dancing. WTF?

All in all, with these three albums, there is enough that would excite me for a full tour. There are real gems in there that never got used because the album eras were so short. At least I won't have to sit through some stupid Whimsical Medley again.

She better not fuck up the tour though. Go for something more extreme and that doesn't mean skanky it up more. I would like to see You Want This finally.

The cool thing is, all her dancers are male. She'll do If, and it'll be all male dancers. That's something really new and interesting.

Spending Time With You, has to be one of my favorite. I'd love to see Island Life live too. She worked with some great people on Damita Jo. The album was so fucking messy though. Cathy Dennis wrote Island Life.

It's radio airplay is abysmal.

The downloads increased because of the album release and some TV appearances. It will plummet again.

I like the cover of that magazine, but wtf is the picture with the wired jaw thing over her face? She looks stupid! That's not even kinky. She looks "special".

I thought it was very Marilyn Manson.

according to Billboard, its down to that and a huge raft of remixes being available to download which has spurred on sales.

I think as an album, it's Ok, but nothing great by any means.

but Feedback is a brilliant track.

What a very, very boring video. The same tired old choreography that she's been doing for years. Dear oh dear.

Indeed. It's so, so lacklustre and cheap.

the video's well filmed, yet it lacks any originality. she's just recycling the same concept-dancers in weird costumes-over and over again. and to think she was supposed to be one of the pioneers of the music video format...how depressing, really.

She couldn't even sell as much as "Charmbracelet" and "American Life" sold in the US in their first week. :manson:
