I'll say one thing though - regardless of how you think she looks with/without make-up, the fact is she found a way to have her "music" become a way to support her. She's probably making some decent money right now, and at 17, that's a pretty good accomplishment.
So to all you who like to bash her (or other successful musicians), you're probably jealous that she's making $$ producing music, whether you think it's real music, or corporate driven mainstream radio music (well, I'm always jealous of the money making types). Either way, she's taking it to the bank right now.
