and the answers to the above could probably be applied to millions of performers through out the world!
my question is why do you think pearl deserves success above the thousands of other great acts??

Fecking hell.
Jonty has posted the most sensible post on the thread.
OK, pass my hat and the mustard
One way or another you can't hold Pearl's past/origins against her.
She may have done her first back up singing with her dad, but many mechanics will tell you that the first engine they built was in their dad's garage.
It's the old "why don't you have a go at this" family business thing.
My dad was in insurance, but that doesn't mean that I am naturally born to be a good insurance agent, but I know that if I
was inclined to try my hand at insurance, and a position opened in my dad's firm, he would have put my name forward.
Just like (to use the mechanic metophore again) if a guy owns his own garage and needs to take on help, his son/daughter will get to try the job if they are interested.
Meat
might have opened doors for Pearl, even if it's just his name that opens it, but that's only true assuming that the people Pearl auditioned for knew it was Meat's daughter, but door opened or not, it's Pearl who has to walk through the door.
If she wasn't up to the job then she wouldn't have lasted.
Wjhere she came from is really irrelevant, judge her on her own merit and what she's doing now.
