You don't know that.

My comparison is very relevant. Have some AI winners paid their dues? Not in my opinion. I don't think Pearl deserves more recognition. I'm just saying, she didn't start out making her own records from day one like some artists with famous/rich parents. According to what I've read, she's been a back-up singer since 1994. That's a long time to travel the roads, in the background before you put out your first record. And don't be so touchy...
