Thanks for posting that, Alain. But you know, watching that is soooooooooo symptomatic of young people now a days. Give them some technology and they think they are the CENTER OF THE WORLD. I mean from the opening frame, this Nikki Yanofsky who is very talented but to my eyes is still a MINOR celebrity...not quite the world-class diva that Celine is...is like...oh, I need that camera on me! Me!! Me!! Me-- all the time!!

Needless to say, I didn't finish the crappy video. She doesn't need me to be a phan; she can do it all herself.

LOL - well, let's just say that this is all part of her marketing plan. And it is working. She has been interviewed on most US TV networks, and her awareness is growing rapidly, which is really what it's all about. This is all part of the viral approach to raising awareness. I'm not so sure that it's just her being about herself. I think it's part of a bigger strategy. Having said this, she does give a lot of time to supporting causes and singing at fundraisers.

I actually prefer her style and music over Celine's any day. And although Nikki isn't well known or huge yet, she will be someday, and remember - the girl is only 16 years old. Let's check back in 2 or 3 years and see where she is.
