Certainly agents will exploit the current intersts in her but like you said records have to sell at platinum and double platinum to generate real success. Will her records sell platinum or double platinum ? The Britains Got Talent show has some weeks left to run. Her "one Trick " is enthralling the first time you see it because it is completely unexpected and thats what has caused the excitement right now. What about the second time, third time fourth time.....Tjhe shock/suurprise value is spent. I watched the youtube clip just once....that was enough for me.
Yeah I think she will sell a million pieces easily. tens of million were captured by her. I think 3% of all who saw her will buy a CD of her work....I really don't think thats a stretch. The marketing is already done.....and marketing is the key to any sales. You hear it over and over agin in the record business...."we were never marketed" "We were not marketed correctly" "There was no marketing budget"
Her marketing was free and the positive exposure she received and is still recieving is priceless. Her career may end before it begins but she HAS ONE and is set for life....gulfstreams and Castles...Nah. But she won't work another day and will sing to adoring audiences for as long as she is here.
