When I heard her on one of the Awards shows though I was pretty impressed by her pipes.

Tell me she's better than this girl....

If she is not a porn star it doesn't matter.

I don't think I've ever seen her, but from this first incident that I've become aware of, I'm hardly inmpressed.

But then again, she's 22, and there are tons of 22 year olds who are hardly impressive.

How delinquent.

BTW, for those who do not know who she is - probably because you are already mature in age.
She is the new Mariah Carey from the 70s - 80s.

Mariah was/is a woman, that unknown kid is a useless brat.

Lot of rich Americans hate American, successful people could be successful anywhere they have traits that some lazy slackers do not.

I don't like her music, but I'll be quick to say she has an amazing voice.

So does Sammy Hagar.

I care more about the constant "outrage" of the week from who ever when it comes to them spouting off a one-liner against the US or (insert your group here, except whites, the media does not care about them).

Serious, she said an off-the-moment comment with little to no thought, and everyone gets all up in arms as if she worked for a year on a grad school dissertation about how she hates America. People say stupid little remarks all the time, without much deep thought. Even the whole so treacherous "n" word is actually so rooted in popular culture through movies and music, it is more common lingo than the all so offensive term everyone makes it out to be.

The only reason I know of this woman is because I live in Miami and she is known around here, but I bet most people immediately though she was Hispanic.

She had the most top 10 singles of any artist last year, two #1 UK singles, a platinum record in 8 countries, was a featured singer on multiple TV events, has toured 50 cities already this year, her youtube videos have over a billion views, etc. She's pretty much doing the opposite of 'wasting her talent.'

You are coming across as her PR agent and personal cheerleader.
