Are we talking a David Bowie type of act in a Ziggy Stardust kinda of way?
In the indie/underground world, being on the radio is "selling out", so in that sense she has sold out by just making money.
I would say no, a persona is just that. Granted I hate her music, but with artists these days, having a stick like this will help sell music. If you are smart about it (IE don't go overboard with spending MC Hammer style) you can use the money you make off your crap music under a different name to fund your "real" music.
If I was going to try to make it in the music world, that's what I would do. Make a stage name, make some crap pop music, sling the shit like candy and make it so over the top that people are talking about it all the time. Collect my checks, invest wisely and then open up my own studio to get unknown artists out there on the scene. Make more money being a producer, then when I'm comfortable with the ins & outs of the industry, come out with an album of my own under my own terms.
