She's completely manufactured, but the Swedish nerds on her hit-song assembly line know what they are doing.

The music industry has pretty much monopolized itself. Hire professional musicians to write music, professional choreographers to make a dance, and a pretty face that you can digitally alter her voice and you win. They'll take that pretty face, pay off radio, tv, whatever else to brainwash the masses by constantly saying stuff like, "we play only the best hits of today!". The sheep then believe it's the best.. cool and hip.. whatever.

For the most part, mainstream music is more about making corporate money than art.

It's like owning a cage-fighting business. (hypothetical situation) Don't allow the good fighters in.. publicize these bad fighters that you are promoting. Let those bad fighters fight amongst each other. You have ownership on both of them so it doesn't matter which wins. (although you could psychologically make one more appealing to people to keep tension and interest and drama..) The business makes money no matter how bad the fighters where because in this theoretical situation, the fans have never seen a real fighter before nor care to find one.

She's obviously not the best singer in the world but at least she writes her own music and doesn't lip sync.

And she's still only 19. Amazing some can rant about a skinny 19 year old musician that writes her own music and lyrics, has very good vocals, plays the guitar on most, and not to mention is extremely successful, selling a sh!tload of albums. Above that is cute and seems like a quality person.

Wtf, can there possibly be a quicker way to define one's judgment as irrelevant than to rant on someone like this? lol ;)

178-179.5cm tall but probably 182.88 centimeters with shoes
i think she could wear a different style of dresses

She sells her own line at Wal-mart...

Her singing isn't the best, it's limited in range, but she writes her own shit, and it's very catchy. Works for me. Not one bit hard to look at either. Not a bitch either according to everything I've seen thus far.

possibly you are not the target audience and need to switch stations. Realize you are not 18 anymore, and progress to the next genre
