If the lead singer wasn't the girl next door, it would never bother her enough for her to bring it up in a conversation. Really, she just wants the image of something other than the girl next door, and the power that goes with it (to overrun neighbors that disagree with her). No amount of complaining about how females are treated unjustly by the industry
will create artificial
respect that wasn't there before, since any respect gained as a result of an artificial image would be artificial respect. Some
people just say they are at odds with an industry that pays them more than most
people make to get publicity and support from those same
people that go out and buy their music with the little bit of money they do make at work, but these aren't multi-millionaires most of the
time purchasing albums by groups like Evanescence. These aren't
people that would be listened to if they complained the way Evanescence or Taylor Swift or other musical artists are listened to when they whine about unjust treatment or not getting paid as much as they think the world owes them.
Evanescence is a group led by a girl that was once the
girl next door to
somebody growing up, so why should their lead singer be a
bigger deal than that? Why should anybody for that matter?
