How a Villager Became the Queen of All Media.
Indeed, the sleepless Internet is her round-the-clock stage, and the 47-year-old who has said she's never heard of YouTube is the Web's hottest entertainer. "She's really the world's singer right now," said YouTube spokeswoman Julie Supan. In her four years at the company, Supan said she cannot remember a video raking in this many views in such a short period of time.

3. Hmm...."Queen," eh?
Always thought, in terms of courtly appellations, I'd be either a bard or a jester... ;-)

As for warbling, how about some old Oscar Levant and Alec Wilder tunes?

6. You are more than exagerating,
and if you were to read the stories, you would learn that MILLIONS, around the world, are very interested in her. Seems like there's more than 'dumb-ass "Idol" pap' at issue here.

9. So don't click on the threads
I wasn't very interested in the "teabagging" thing. So, omg, I somehow managed to not click on those threads.
