People have short memories, and the effect of winning DALS will fade quickly with time. If Sony decides to do one more album with her, they will have to move quickly (relative to their usual speed) in order to get the most from the exposure that a win would offer. Even without a win, if she makes it most of the way to the end, she will have gained a lot of valuable exposure. But I'm afraid that if two more years go by before a CD release, all the gains will be lost. Just look at what 3 years off did to her between the MF/LB years and Psyche.
