...how screwed up is the music biz?
Local sports fans are all knickery-twisty over some poor girl who sang the national anthem at last Sundays more money than brains bowl at the Rogers Centre, nee Skydome, nee the place where tax dollars go to die.
So who is this girl anthem butcher?
Rising Canadian pop star Kreesha Turner...
OK, hot young up and comer. Good. So what happened Sunday?
The 23-year-old Edmontonian... had never sang in front of a large crowd.
The singer, "Known for her hit song Don't call Me Baby," had never sang for a large crowd? How then did she become a "pop star?" No dues, no bashing it out in front of real audiences before somebody sank money into her career?
Next time the recording industry steps up to the whine bar over the trouble their industry is in, remember the name Kreesha Turner, an untested mediocrity who they packaged and branded as a star before she's ever played in front of a large audience.
