Creators/artists simply aren't going to make the ridiculously high incomes they've made in the past due to the monetary value (not to be confused with the spiritual/personal) of music bottoming out.....simple as that.

Having said that she can be pretty entertaining in her own twisted way.
you will be charged as a criminal consistent with the Islamic Punishment Act
I love pointing this kind of thing out to the hardcore Christians who want "Christian values" as part of our laws and can't understand why some of us are so hostile to ANY religious involvement in government.
