I wish her well and i hope she enjoys her momemnts in the limelight. I just hope her head is screwed on right and does not get swept away with the present hysteria.


I don't think so. People WANT her to succeed. People WILL support her. She will earn enough to make a decent lifestyle for herself. She is a world phenomenon. Yeah she will eventually fade from view but not before she earns a little pile of money. People have parlayed a lot less into a lot more.

Yeah her looks HELPED her. Her back story helped her...Looks help GOOD looking people too...Look are important either good or bad.

I would not discount the underdog....ever.
