Pink vs. Furtado

I saw Pink do a performance on the Today show this morning, and it struck me as pretty interesting - Did you ever think about the careers of Pink vs. Nelly Furtado?

Pink started out as this hip-hop/pop star. She decided it wasn't really "her" and changed her whole image for her second album.

With the change, she found more success and popularity and has kept that image - apparently her "true self" - going for years now.

On the other hand, you have Nelly Furtado.

Furtado started out her career as a folk songstress with a few pop sensabilities.

For her third album, she rearranged her career and image into this hip-hop/pop star and has found a bunch of success.

Is this her "true self" or just an image created to sell albums?
