    Yes. That’s the notwithstanding part. That said, I think someone involved in any pop star’s success is smart and educated where it counts.

        Yes. But they have to be clever enough to get to the point where they have enough money to throw around. And they have to wise enough to figure out who to hire, who to trust and then how to actually use the information. Of course it’s sometimes dumb luck, I’m sure. But either way, there’s then educated people making good money in the deal, which makes my point as well.

      Yes, of course she was advised by some pretty smart people. But at the end of the day, she had the product they needed to sell.
