and, im sure, at least according to American Idol fans, due to her hard work, christian virtues, blah blah blah...
Hard Work? Hard work is taking diction training in 5 languages, learning to play at least one instrument to proficiency besides voice, knowing how to sight read music and count out rhhythms, and having a range of more than 1.5 octaves for more than the 2 seconds it takes to slide out of key so you sound 'gospely'. There is an amazing independent film about this subject called "B4MD" (Before the Music Dies) that demonstrates in one portion the homogenization and creation of a 'pop star' from a girl that can barely sing but 'looks good'. Traditional music instruction teaches more than just 'how to sing that classical crap'. The physical skills alone would tire out most professional 10 take wanna-be computerized pop singers. Give me a break. The hardest work most of these AI types have to do is not break a nail or get a hair Frizz.
