Cool, cool. What about music videos? What if Natalie had a music video produced on her own -- would MTV/VH1 seriously consider putting it into rotation? That's where most of the exposure for an artist comes from these days. Maybe the Canadians with MuchMusic and the British music video channels would be more open to this.

This would change the dynamic of everything -- if a popular musician not only cut out the major label in terms of distribution of their work but also when it came to music videos, the major means for promoting new music.
