You will be amazed as to what suport she has all over the world and her immense fan following.
Some 8000 miles apart in Bombay , India ( yes the starving nation of elephant herds), young people worship her as a godddess. On my last visit there, everyone kept asking me if I knew her or if I seen her. I was so annoyed I had to lie and say yes yes i know her and I meet her on weekend parties. Lots of young Indian women have apparantely commited sucides when their lovers compared their uglines to ja loys' beauty. Pathetic scums in India ( from there originally so I can say this with some true experience)
A young wanna be person in that part of the world is judged how cool they are by their knowledge of her songs/abums/videos/stats.
In Hong Kong again, her posters outsell their local starts in young boys' closets. In japan, moslem malaysia, phillipines, korea everywhere she is there.

On a different note, I had no clue what power American culture has all over the world. When an arab talks about American imperilasm, it sounds like cow poop to us. But if you introspect closely yes it is immensly powerful and attractive. You may hate it or love it but you can never IGNORE it.
America rules the world through its culture first. Something we take for granted here are life saving/ hip definying/ statement enhancing and identity smashing entities elsewhere.
Weird world, is it ?
