In reply to k.

It's possible if Cassie had the funds and a
better team behind her she could have been
where Rih is, but that's a hard one to call.

Look at all the stops being pulled out for Rita,
and she is just a blip on the pop radar for the
last couple of years.

I think there is a certain amount of luck, drive,
funding, as well as 'star power', that must be
in play to make it to Rih or Bey level of things.
