Since we have been taking at length about fake artists and inauthentic identities, this seems very interesting! Sprinkle money on just about anyone or anything...and you have a PR firm that enlists A-list producers for a talentless teenaged car-jacker.
You again neglect that one crucial bit of information. Labels became interested in her solely because of her notoriety. Just like the Housewives of Your-City-Here, they were offered label deals because these "artists" already have a million or so people who know who they are. It saves their promotion department a few steps.
My advice to musicians in regards to labels? Labels aren't anti-art. They're pro-money. They're a business, first and foremost, and 100% of everything they do is predicated on that. If they're interested in signing you, it's because they think they can make themselves (and, incidentally, you) some money selling your art. They don't give a flying rat's ass about your artistic vision except in regards to how they can make some money off of it. And this is true for symphonies, Bob Dylan, and every American Idol winner.
They sign sone acts because their music is good and catchy, and they think they can get the publuc to buy their music via that route.
They sign other acts because they are already famous, and they think they can get the public to buy their "music" via that route.
Pretty much all of the musicians I work with go the first route. They're musicians, not internet-famous folks. I've dealt with a few who did have some level of fame - a couple who were on music-based reality shows, and one who had built up a fair chunk of youtube fame. But even those people are approaching things from the music angle. They're trying to make their move by writing and recording excellent songs. Most of them have increased their local fanbase, at the very least. Many have attracted label interest. Some have gotten signed. And a few have done quite well.
I don't deal with the second type. Those who are famous already, and are parlaying that into a music career. Not because I'm against that or anything (although I'm guessing I'd dislike the end result a lot), but because that's just not what I do. It's a second route to a label deal that I am cognizant of, but can't give much advice on.
And despite your protestations that I need to "get with the times", both paths remain viable options. Yeah, the viral video stars are more likely to explode into people's Facebook feeds. But they're also more likely to vanish in a month's time. Today's meme is tonorrow's forgotten memory. The people who work the music angle may be less likely to explode, but they also seem to have a far more solid fanbase. They can play a gig three months later, and still draw a similar sized crowd.
I do not see how my writing is similar to Fashiondiva's posts.
Of course you don't. If you did, you would have fixed that. But just like there are some very clear indications that you are behind Poodey, there are some that make it pretty clear that you two are one and the same. Just because you avoided sone of the most obvious traps doesn't mean you avoided them all.
We all adapt reality slightly to make it more confirtable and enjoyable for ourselves. Hell, I "play the gargoyle" here because it amuses me to do so. And it's pretty clear that Poodey is important to you. Given the time, effort and timespan involved, this is more tyan just a quick game for the lulz. You may simply enjoy the entire process, or (as I have grown to suspect) it helps you deal with some rather unhappy things in your life. And whichever it is, again, I'm the last to say no. But bringing it into the public sphere is to invite comment, and (quite often) ridicule. I have yet to feel the need to get a gargoyle costume made, and to go flap my wings at the local Starbucks. But if I ever do get that far, I can expect a fair amount of looks and comments. So if you would rather avoid the critique, tge best move is to keep the gargoyle costume at home. Capice?
I'm also not Fiona Apple or Cash Me Outside!
And that's the real tragedy, isn't it?

Give it a listen!
