How many artists come out with a new album (usually their sophomore CD) with a whole new sound and/or image and claim that its their 'real' personality? Also, how many times do they blame it on marketing or record labels?
P!nk ("Mizunderstood") - Abandons R&B, refers to it being a Pop record, increasingly goes for a more 'rock' sound, claims that the media compared her to Britney Spears (that never happened), etc.
Justin Timberlake ("Justified") - Sang country music on Star Search wearing a cowboy hat and boot spurs, later claims to grow up listening to Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye. Goes solo from NSYNC and has Timbaland and The Neptunes producing his tracks, etc.
Jessica Simpson ("Irresistible") - Apparently they [record label] wanted her to be more like Britney so they 'made' her sex up her image [the video even looks like a rip off of 'Stronger'] and lose some weight. Then there are the 'dance routines' in her music videos; its clear she's not a dancer.
