Actually, in point of fact, yes it is. (Or at least it has been for the past several months. ) Especially in North America...she has no promotional presence at all over here, except for the grassroots efforts that fans like Snatcher and Disque are putting forth.

The main barrier I can see--what appears to have given her the greatest boost in Mexico--is getting her music played in clubs, and from there having it requested for radio play. We're all English snobs over here. Even in Montreal (where the population is predominantly francophone), virtually all that most clubs will play is American Top 40. Sad but true. Barring another international mega-hit on the scale of Moi...Lolita, as OGRE said, I don't see a way towards overcoming that prejudice on a wide scale.

I'm not saying it's not worth fighting the good fight...but let's be honest, we're tilting at windmills, here.

there are things that can help her though through say touring with someone who is already established
Oh, absolutely. Which is why I agree that it's a brilliant idea.
