i disagree, i think she has to take some of the blame too. she's made some poor decisions herself and there were a lot of other things she could've done better.
just making a blanket statement saying her teeny bopper and young male fans deserting the ex-lolita is what happened is wrong imo. for example, there arguably was some drop-off in the quality and depth of her music as well as her performances, and her music couldn't appeal to the masses like before. and her choice of first single was a poor choice which didn't allow her to have any momentum whatsoever. (though the album lacked that one special song to make it blow up)
but yeah, there were a lot of things out of her control, like the french taste in music changing, lack of promotion/marketing, etc.
she's still got plenty of time to get things right though. all artists have their ups and downs, and they learn a great deal from it.
