Yeah, and I feel people know it. You cannot not know. I think also that’s why I’ve stayed… although I have not had a second American album, I feel like I’m still relevant here.

The only time she comes close to being relevant is if Whine Up gets played at a high school dance...in the very first hour when not a lot of people are on the floor.
