And I'm not seeing how having heard IYD makes her some repulsive brown-noser. The fact that she was at the Oscars and in RS and able to comment on the musicians who have inspired her means that she's more of a presence in the music world than she was before. She's gotten attention for a number of reasons, but mainly for her talent. So yes, she's receiving more exposure. But why is that criminal? Should she be required to shun the music industry? Why would she want to? What purpose would that serve?
By all means, judge her if it becomes clear she's compromising her music and integrity for the industry. But until that happens, I really can't imagine what there is to complain about.

Lots actually. The new batch,especially the Brit girls are heavily marketed.The whole setup is paper thin.
Remember Amy Winehouse?. . .5 years since that infamous record.Truly chewed up and spat out.Will she finish that 3rd album? Will anyone care?
They're trying to put Ellie Goulding out there now in the States when she should really be in the studio.
They all know they're on borrowed time in the business so are milking it for all their ONE record's worth.By all means carry on ladies. . . .I won't be missing 'em.
In my honest opinion Florence has already blown it,so I feel perfectly entitled to express that.
