1) BE ORIGINAL! - Sorry this is pop crap that has been lucky! There is nothing original about this.

2) The path to success may not be obvious - I wouldn't define this as success. How many other 'hit's has she produced? Flash in the pan?

3) If everyone goes left, you go right; sheep go left, - she sounds like a sheep to me - there is an ever so slight baa noise at the end of her 'Friday' lyric

4) Be Viral! - ok - can't argue here

5) It doesn't really matter what others say, it matters what they do. - Again, good point.

6) And, rich parents...let your kids know their limitations. - Don't really know what you mean by this.

How would you define success, Gillies?  She's one of the fastest growing youtube and twitter sensations, has a top 100 song worldwide 6 months into the business, has twice as many youtube views as the next "pop" idol, been on the number 1 late night TV show and is making millions.  Sounds pretty good to me.

Christopher you know you can be Successful without being Original.

Sorry---  if McDonalds, American Idol and Friday are any indications, average Americans consume sensationalist. over-hyped garbage--- and have the critical sophistication capacity of an earwig.

Pffft---!  Go ahead---  dumb down your brand to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
