Many accolades had, nominations for Grammys and such, etc.

You don't have to be identical to what's on the market to be pop friendly. You just have to make extremely accessible music that's not too complicated for the casual listener's musical IQ of 15.

Lol!!!

Okay, I did not see her at any award shows, I did not see her win any Grammy's or being excessively talked about. Despite her sells, she was not really commercialized or heavily marketed at least in the states anyway.

When I insisted her music was not pop friendly I was speaking in the traditional sense that her music was/is not trendy or catchy. She also does not have a pop friendly "image." Do you understand what I mean when I say that?
