TEOM era. It give her the edge as one of the most enduring pop stars in history (Having your biggest solo hit after everyone wrote you off; That's insane).
While her first two albums got nothing but praise, Music Box got a lot of criticism. I thought it wouldn't do as well as the first two albums and certainly not a cover song like Without You. But while she was known in Europe and had some hits, Music Box and Without You turned her into a household name.
And every big star has a time when everybody write you off: Mariah, Whitney, Madonna, Diana Ross, Cher, Tina Turner, Britney Spears... But they all hit back hard one time or another. It's not that special IMO.
