You don't see any flaws in that logic? Does selling more albums mean someone has more talent than other musicians? If you believe that, how can you explain Miley Cirus or Justin Beiber? In fact, I'm pretty certain musical talent has little to do with album sales anymore. Personally, I don't think that is a good thing.

Obviously, this young lady is "playing the game" she needs to play to get attention and pursue her goals: the same game Miley plays (although I'm sure she has more talent than Miley). But I'll stick to my personal preference: I'd much rather people buy my work because it is good and not because of any political affiliation.

However, your response suggests she is not good; as you suggest you would rather sell music by being good as opposed to  the route she is taking.

Is the girl any good? I have no idea, but I'm not winning to say no simply because she has been invited to sing at the Inogiration. Seems more like something bitter ols men would do.

BTW Justin Beiber is very talented. Not my type of music, but that is beside the point.
