Wish I'd saved a response I saw a couple of years ago to the idea that anything that smacks of being commercial is inherently bad.  What it boiled down to was that those who want musicians to keep playing small clubs, living out of vans, and doing what a certain type of critics consider "real music" should indeed express their desire on paper . .  in the form of a substantial check to help the musicians  pay the rent, the light bill, etc, etc. 

I happen to have very eclectic tastes so my POV is that  a good song  is a good song - period . . and that what makes a song 'good ' is highly subjective.  

Over the past 4 years I've read a lot of reviews for another artist that were not exactly glowing endorsements.  Like KC, I have no problem with someone not liking the music of an artist I enjoy - I may not appreciate their favorites . . . but I've rarely read something that made me wonder as much as this does about the degree of personal animosity I'm sensing.   We of course have no way of knowing if Grace is just taking flak from a purist [ read music snob ] with a bigger agenda . .  or if it truly is personal.
