That's what I was saying... Stevie was washed up when she was 20 years into her career, and now that Sheryl is 20 years into her career, she is also washed up. I think it's sort of a cyclical thing for artists. They fall out of favor after too long in the spotlight, and are no longer viewed as current. Some, like Stevie, stage successful comebacks as "icons." Others don't. It's hard to say what will happen with Sheryl. She's hugely talented, for sure. But she's also built her career reinterpreting styles from the past. So time may not be as kind to her as it has to Stevie. And like you said, she doesn't have an iconic band to bolster & legitimize her, either. Who knows...
