After Vince McMahon got Rick Roll'd on live TV no Rick Roll could ever top it and Rick Astley's career never recovered.

Prince was huge in the 80s and then fell off in the late 80s and 90s. Some of that was the music scene changed and some of that was his own fault. He had a couple of good albums in the last ten years, but they were nothing like he did before.

The kiss did her in? Was it because people said Britney was awesome for slipping the tongue, and that Christina did basic? From what I saw from everyone else Britney and Madonna kissing was THE moment, and Christina was that kid acting like "I can be naughty too" She should have used her talent, which she has more of potentially.

Soul singer Estelle was the big thing in 2008 with the release of American Boy, but then made the decision to play the race card: She never came close to the top of the charts again. Kind of related, but.....four pages and no mention of Dixie Chick-gate?

I don't follow music that closely, but Eve's career seemed to really stall around the mid 2000s. She's another one who was appearing in movies. Truth be told, she hadn't had an album after "Eve-Olution" for about a decade, only for "Lip Lock" to be released about two years ago. I even read that some songs she had recorded were for an album she worked on that was shelved.

A lot of artists tour and then take a break... Making it seem like they dropped off.or even going back to the studio to make an album takes time. It's also really hard to have more than one huge chart topper.

I actually listened to an interview she had on the radio about a month ago. She said she was in no rush to get back into music and wanted to focus on her marriage.

She's on Steven Universe now and as a result her career has massively been revived.

She went from a fun person who was weird in a cool way to "I'm an artist, these are all SUPER important statements". Became a bit pretentious and self righteous for a lot of people. People have mentioned how the torch shifted to Miley, well, she filled that niche as over the top party girl with a unique style.

From what I saw from everyone else Britney and Madonna kissing was THE moment, and Christina was that kid acting like "I can be naughty too" The media made it the moment because the public wanted to see Britney take a chance and do something that wasn't expected. Then she upped the ante and shaved her head, etc.
