I agree.
But those talent shows (thanks to Mr Cowell) are the best chance a singer has these days to get any exposure.
Especially if you're over 14 years old.

I found that very interesting myself.
What Meat said about the royalties makes sense.
For one, I don't think anyone could have expected Bat II to be as big as it was (without the help of a crystal ball) because he'd pretty much vanished off the face of the earth at that time.
So even if it were common practice to offer royalties instead of a flat fee for the performance, there is no way Meat, Virgin, or Lorraine herself could have predicted which would have been more lucrative for her.

As for the name, we all know who she is because we have special interest, but I wonder who else would know who Mrs Loud is without being told?
I can't help thinking Meat was right on that score.
