It's just a way to make the artist more markartable, you know. A pretty
face to go with the voice. It's funny because I remember hearing and
seeing all the buzz for Kelly Price before she came out, and when B.I.G "
Mo' Money More Problems" video came out she was'nt even the girl in the
video and she's the one singing the hook, just like if you saw hear album
cover You would not think she was really who she was. You know what I have
an even better example, I think her Name is Martha Wash (I think that's
her name from the "Weather Girls" she sang for C&C music factory but she
was never in the videos
