I agree completely, spalding...

I wonder how well at night "She-Bang Huang' sleeps, now that his fifteen minutes are over... Does he ever wonder if life might have been better in the long term if he HADN'T allowed himself to become a cocktail party punchline?

I simply hope this fine lady takes the ride with her eyes wide open, and keeps some dignity for later in life. I know some here tend to emphasize only the money she might (or might not) make, but for someone like her who has made music their life, whether with great success or not, there are MUCH more important considerations, IMO. Sell your 'soul' for a wad of cash (and trust me, that show virtually owns her soul for the promotion it provides) and you may easily find other values turn out to be much more important, finally.

But often (how many successful musician suicides do we have to see to realize this?) acknowledgment of this comes too late...
