The myspace status does show that she has some popularity, but it doesn’t mean she'll hit big outside the net. She's a personality, she models. She also has her own clothing line. That's why she's popular on myspace, not necessarily because of her music but she might have potential?
She's from Vietnam, and apparently, she rode in a boat to come to America. (Hard to believe, but yeah) She's not a born American, she is-as someone already mentioned-she's 3/4s Vietnamese and 1/4 French. Now ok, you gotta tell me if there has been ANY asian to have broken the market into the USA, as a solo, or maybe as a band. (Although I guess if you really wanted, Hoobastank already broke the market along with N.E.R.D. rapper) but we're gonna leave it as, an asian really hasn't broken the market majorly, such with likes of Britney Spears. And Britney Spears with two kids, someone's gonna take the crown again...and a new artists, and it looks like Tila COULD possibly make it. Like I said, she has a decent voice with badly produced tunes that are ok.
