i think one major point is that "larger" artists are "larger" not
necessarily because of talent.. but because of marketing.. so, there
is no real correlation between quality and a "larger" artist...

and, yes, also it has to do with higher expectations.. but hopefully
people will realize that quality of the lesser known artists can be
just as good..

taylor,
