| Thats simple: marketing. If you can get a good team together, people with the right connections, you can turn any talentless hack into a superstar. The music industry is no longer asking, "Is this good music?", they are instead asking, "Is this music we can market easily to the general public and turn a profit on?"
I know your type. You think, "I'll just get me a costume, rip off the neighborhood kids." Next thing you know, you've got a jet shaped like a skull with lasers on the front!
