You do realize she already had the biggest selling album of this year before this happened?
It's not like she was some fairly unknown underground artist and is gonna sell another few hundred thousand CD's because of this. She's sold damn near 4 million already. This didn't really do that much for her publicity and sales increase will be marginal at this point.
well i meant increased sales in any future projects she would be working on, not necessarily the album she already has out.
and to be honest, i never heard of this girl before now. i'm sure others are the same.
nevertheless, any publicity is good publicity, and her publicity is most definitely not bad - pity and support plus people that never heard of her have now.
this incident made goddamn news bulletins all over australia for fucks sake. do you think it'd be the same if kanye didn't storm it and it was just her acceptance speech?
trust me, this has done wonders for her career, not that it was in a bad place to begin with.
and no, i don't have much first-hand experience with the industry, but i do know that publicists are paid to prevent bad publicity about their client and paid to promote good publicity. well they just got a pay rise without doing shit.
