Actually @OhWord?! while I agree with you that she is new to the game and as a new artist she should be focusing more on her career than a tv show, in that sense, I think as a musician, she is extremely qualified. Unlike many aritst's in the business, she's technically trained and as a performer, she feels the music and speaks to you. She doesn't just get on stage and sing and dance and prance, with the majority of her songs at least. I mean even 'Price Tag' had a message. Besides, her success speaks volumes. So yeah, while I think it's non-conventional for a new artist to be a judge on a singing show or look at other avenues in the entertainment industry after one album, I do have to say however, that she is extremely talented and very much qualified for the role.
