[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 76923, member: 27"] An interesting question. I saw a profile of her several years ago on [I]60 Minutes [/I]when she was just starting to catch on and I don't think Lesley Stahl thought she was for real. Maybe Stahl thought she could make the mask slip at some point, but it didn't. Stahl painted her as a parent-approved role model for teen girls, a refreshing change from the Miley Cyruses and Paris Hiltons of the world. I think there's a generally good person under all that PR and packaging, but the "image" people try too hard to make her out to be Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. At some point they'll catch her being human* and every press outlet will take delight in tearing her down, which is what they do. I don't really care for her music, but then I'm about as far from her target demo as you can get. * I'm picturing a "scandal" like having a diva-like meltdown over being ignored in a restaurant, or maybe humiliating an intern or something--nothing earth-shattering, but enough to light the fuse among media types who exist to torpedo the careers of celebs.
