IMO,creativity is endless. The pursuit for perfection and doing better than before is one of the innate traits of humans. As long one believes that there is room for improvement there is always creativity, to improvize, to do better than before.
The drive to be perfect dies the minute one assumes there is nothing to improve upon or they have surpassed perfection. This misconception that they are an epitome of perfection, coupled with other factors such as peer pressure, competition,monetary compensation etc just adds to the problem, forcing the talent curve to take a u-turn.
In the performing arts industry, there are countless such examples. It is rare to find talent that is exhibited consistently over years, leave alone decades. That is why perhaps, the likes of Lata Mangeshkar et al are called legends are only a handful in a country of billions.
ps: I am/was not a fan of RG, have not seen her prior works either. This is my general observation on arts, human talent( innate vs learned).
