The only downfall (or benefit) is the fact that there IS a language barrier. With this barrier, there's a gaurantee sell of at least 100,000 CDs if advertised with a translation, and subtitles on the chorus or something. Just something to entice the people.
But as one of the youth, I'm one of the few who thinks the music industry needs to be saved. Before, songs like "YMCA" that actually had a meaning, and that's (corny) inspirational had topped the charts. Now to look at mainstream music these days, it's impossible to believe the %#$!@ that they sing about. To think that our industry relies on sex, drugs, and money to sell.
I may not like it, but one of the few respectable genres is country. I personally really don't like it, but it's the kind of genre that is weak to save our music, yet has the best meaning to it.
I think the best way is to really get someone well-known to cover a song first (Startin', GAME, INSPIRE), then release her to the US.
