So talented!! Imagine how much better our society would be if people like her got radio time/ more press?

Then she'll adapt her style to suit the masses. That is not a good thing.

I second that emotion..she's seems to stand behind her Music...the way it is...On the other, other, hand...97 Million bucks, can waver the best of US....everybody has a PRICE

Simple beauty. :)

[mslexii001]

Nope, it will make society a better place because music like hers will be the "popular" music today more than Gaga and other pop artist. If she changes her style then that's a different story. I'm making a statement considering she will stay the same.

no need to satisfy empty tastes, she is perfect

If you try to please the masses you'll come up with mess like bootylicious. Please spare the horror of such talent like Esperanza to steep to marketing machine ilk.

[chinawerty]

maybe she could adapt her suit to style the masses instead. So much for french fashion...and french politics haha.

But I think I agree with @heedlessfly, if even a handful of people open up to a new world of music through her popularity, keeping it hidden from them for the sake of resisting change doesn't really seem worth it. To me.
