Sorry, but if you really thinks that she was at the peak of her popularity just 'cause her song was "better", I would say you don't really understand how pop music works... It's pretty much like Madonna, It doesn't matter if her "best albums" according to critics and public were released after Like a Prayer (being most of the time Ray of Light considered the best one), most of her hits are from way before this... being Like a Virgin, la isla bonita, holiday, papa don't preach, and Material Girl some of her most iconic songs and all then released back at the 80's when she was a new face...
When you are new to the success as a singer, most of the public will listen to you, with time, mostly fans will get interested on what you are doing, while the other ones will keep listening and knowing only the "classics"... It's all about the hype...
I think Audience is a mediocre song with crap lyrics for example... and I think Mirrorcle World is one of Ayu best works... And I know a lot of people that agrees with me... It doesn't make me right, but the fact that you are an old days fan doesn't make you right also
Don't think your opinion is a fact... what is bad for you can be great to other one...
