No, Lorde is not a 30 year old women singing children's songs.
Lorde is 16 years old and she has better lyrics than half of the singers at this point (if not more) so she shouldn't be compared with Carly. Lorde should last.
Lorde's album is out in 2 weeks, and will probably be released the same week Royals tops the chart (or comes close).
Carly's album was out MONTHS after Call Me Maybe was at its peak.
Furthermore, I do believe "Team" is only being released in Aus and NZ so far, where Royals has already come and gone a long time ago. It isn't released on North American iTunes yet, because sales of "Team" could cannibalize sales of "Royals".
See the difference?
This. Living in New Zealand, I can say that Lorde is much bigger here than Carly Rae ever was. I'm certain that at the very least, Lorde will have a logn and successful recording career in NZ and Australia

because mr. holyground thinks this little girl will have a loyal fanbase based on the fact that she is an "alternative" (and i use that term loosely here) singer as opposed to carly who was a bubblegum pop fad i.e. easily replaceable.
taking one look at gotye & kimbra proves otherwise.
She's more en route to being the next Lana Del Rey. Having this amazing indie following, coming up almost out of nowhere with a hit song, then have an amazing album that receives some huge recognition, but doesn't spark anymore hype for a while. Then, hopefully, she makes a monster song for a big budget movie that gets everyone interested in her again after a year or two of releasing her last album.

keep UP
like it or not alternative/indie people are more likely to have continued moderate success in their own genre, compared to pop artists. Pop radio is fickle, unlike other genre radio.
BESIDES Lorde has been smashing in her home country all before this, and for god's sake she's just 16 and has a lot of time to prove herself again and again

at that last poll option.
I'm in love with it
