` :::::::: Well, Kww, there's my point. Proving that she rose to fame in the US is already obvious, and has nothing to do with her being considered an American. Achieving fame in America does not make you American. Leona Lewis achieved fame in the US, does that make her American, too? And Adele? And One Direction?  Jessie J is English, but only got signed in the US, does that make her American, too? To put it simply, you can't base someones nationality and citizenship on where they rose to fame or the amount of success they had. It's ludicrous And Minaj achieved famed relatively late, too.  —  `
