I'm old enough to be from the generation of artists she has studied. I understand her ideas on marketing and fame. I agree with her conceptually. Musically she may not be the MOST gifted or the MOST talented; she's no flash in the pan though and IS pleasant to listen to and her message IS valid.

By age 24 she has created a persona which seems very well thought out, realistic, spiritually sound and has integrity. I feel I can trust her as a human because she makes no bones about the fact that she set out to create celebrity, and has rational control over her presentation of that creation.

But she is only 24. I hope (sending Stephanie warm regards and positive energy now) that she does not discover that she has a dragon by the tail.

Is she stardoms greatest con artist to date? Only time will tell, but it seems to me that her sincerity is motivated by integrity, and I feel that after the long road she will hold up time. Not falling off the grid like all the other record label creations and the Milli Vanillis of the industry.

I think she is one of histories 'ones to watch' and even the people who don't like can't argue that she is currently having a strong effect on those who come to view her. After all, isn't an artists true ambition to emote a response, whatever the medium they choose? She does!
