Yes, she was in the business for many years but in a completely different genre. For all meaningful purposes she didn't exist as a performer before her 2008 'One of the Boys' album. Once she decided to go mainstream pop and apply her fabulous rack, her success was quite rapid. All it took, besides a few catchy songs, was making herself into someone boys wanted and girls wanted to be.<br /><br />But it wasn't as if she was slogging along in mainstream pop without being noticed. Before late 2007 she was Katy Hudson and sang Christian pop, a near guarantee of mainstream obscurity. Another reason she has become so well known so fast, in addition to taking a good picture, is she works her ass off. Before working in support of the YouTube Live event a couple of years ago, I'd never heard of her but I knew I was completely out of touch with pop music trends. The reason everybody knows her name now is she has been working seemingly non-stop. <br /><br />That is often what separates the successes from the also-rans. You not only have to have talent, you have to work it day in and day out while you're young and can stand the pace.epobirshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584564334924010440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-37710491762492319632011-07-30T20:01:57.383-07:002011-07-30T20:01:57.383-07:00"Apes have nothing to teach us."

Anecdotally, it’s getting worse from what head teachers say.”<br /><br />She added that in around 10 per cent of cases, parents were not to blame because their children had language and communication difficulties caused by disabilities.<br /><br />However, the remainder could be avoided if families spent more time teaching their children to speak from an early age."<br /><br />- Daily TelegraphMarlowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89044444362654698482011-07-30T03:10:38.329-07:002011-07-30T03:10:38.329-07:00"Haha Steve you knew exactly where the commen..."Haha Steve you knew exactly where the comments were going to go with this one eh..."<br /><br />Actually, I think the commentors have been quite restrained.
