Yes it is a "light" v. "dark" issue -- I did not make it that way but that is a sub component of the India versus Alicia as well.
We are going to constantly see it that way. It is not a hypothesis but the truth. Yes INDIA is marketable but her company and PR people did not do their job as well as ALICIA's did.
Plus Alicia has more of a crossover appeal than India does. While our people and our nation needs more of what India's music offers, A MESSAGE, they are not as accepting of it as they should be.
