19. When she can no longer get out on stage and strut her stuff, she'll be too old.

I have a feeling she'll be out there at 70 like Tina Turner.

I didn't like much of her bubble gum stuff but she grew into a great talent. Most bubble gum performers peak by 20 and do a fast fade into booze and drugs. She didn't.
