As for touring, if she's being guaranteed payment, why the hell not? Who cares if she's not selling out venues? We all know she's no longer the hottest thing in town. If she's being paid well for doing regular vocal exercises, I think that's great. I do agree that she needs an image overhaul, but I think the best way to achieve that is to remind people of her talent, and that requires good vocal and good music. The latter's pretty unpredictable (cause hits equal good and no one can guarantee a hit), but at least the former can be managed, which can be done without touring, but again, hey, if you are getting paid for it...
