I believe it's a factor, but her talent is what is carrying her... While I think it's ok to be aware of the fact that her being white definitely isn't hurting her sales, people shouldn't take away from her talent and say she wouldn't sell if she wasn't white... She's writing a lot of great songs... She's writing music that people can relate to... Her voice is amazing... Those are the main reasons she is selling... Not because she is white...

Even with Eminem, race was a factor, but talent is what carried him...Bubba Sparxx and Paul Wall didn't sell like Em...
