“I’m not allowed to. The Great Impersonator didn’t perform the way they thought it would. It sold 100k copies first week, that’s a pretty big first week. The tour is the highest selling tour of my career.”
She continues saying, “They want Manic numbers from me. I can’t do that every time. It should be good enough I do it once in a while… I’m not a pop star anymore, but I’m being compared to numbers and people that I don’t consider lateral to me.”
“What would be considered a success for most artist… 100,000 albums first week in an era where we don’t sell physical music, with no radio hit, nothing it’s a failure in the context of the kind of success I’ve had previously.”
