Yes, but that's due to the subtleties of classical music. It is definitely worlds more advanced, it's just difficult to expose a "I WANT IT... NOW!!!" society to sit down, and actually catch them. There's merits in both, but there certainly is an advantage for an ear to groom itself to enjoy more intricate music. Music is like literature, Hustler is fun, but it's nice to indulge in a a good lengthy novel every once in awhile.

I had to wiki to see who that even was. I doubt that she's making as much money as Lady Gaga, or watering herself down as much. As for the piano playing, it's tacked on, and feels entirely like a gimmick. The music itself is obviously not structurally dependent on it, making it superfluous. It's no different than the costumes.
