Thanks for posting that.

What I want to know is how do people like her fly under the radar? Doesn’t anyone hear them sing!!!

I’m listening to it again. :)

Small village in Scotland, evidently she sang, but nobody with ties to the industry listened. The old story of it’s not what you know but who you know...unfortunately that’s how it works, and in her case it wasn’t how well she could sing, but who was there to hear her sing that will make the difference from here on out.

I posted this on a newer thread as well. I think they fly under the radar because we only give the 'beautiful people' a second glance in the entertainment world. I stumbled across this guy on Youtube, and it is pretty much the same story. Judges on World Idol, including Simon, told him he looked like a Hobbit. He laughed, but he also won World Idol:

Kurt Nilsen (Never Easy - a song he wrote)

He has a great voice but doesn't fit the record label's mold for appearances. He has written and recorded some great stuff and just keeps getting better.

More Kurt Here and A sublime cover of 'Hallelujah' with his Norwegian friends.

Listen to the last if nothing else. It's a hectic world and a little 3 minute retreat to something pleasant won't hurt.
