RE: Video from the photoshoot for the album
The bigger question is, "Does the desire to be respected as an artist early on give you more integrity later?" Is that desire something you don't lose?
For example,
J-Lo is considered a great entertainer but not a great singer. At this point in her career, people marvel at how good she looks for her age and how she can shake her booty.
Steven Tyler is generally considered a great entertainer and singer. He may not have all the vocal abilities he once did (see nat'l anthem), but it's clear he thinks of himself as a singer and he appreciates the effort, skill and artistry of other singers.
From my biased perspective, last year when it came to judging it seemed J-Lo was willing to sell out her integrity to the people who were paying her and Steven was not.
