I don't dispute that the song is putting her name out there, but it's out there for the wrong reasons. Unless her voice matures and she comes out with some legit, non-Ark Music Factory hits, she'll go down in history as a joke.

I agree with this re: criticism, but...

Yes it is. But if you're savvy enough to market yourself on the internet, you're also savvy enough to know that there are batshit psychos who do crap like that. Proceed accordingly.

Right.

I think that, because of how quickly this song blew up, she and her parents weren't prepared for the privacy breaches, so having websites expose the information is not surprising (although it still shouldn't have been done).

I call BS on the "cyber-bullying" part, though. If you want to be in the limelight, you have to be able to take criticism.
