It's funny how everyone analyzes every miniscule detail. Anyway, I agree w/xena225 - I blame the media, here. They never even considered looking beneath the surface - all they saw was what they wanted to see. They never considered the music, the emotions, the talent.
BTW, on a side note: I don't think the picture thing is so weird - I mean, I gave my friend a picture of me for his birthday once. On the picture, it said: "The world is not what it seems... you need to look beneath the surface, behind the facade, the illusion, to see things as they are. Don't look at the image - look past it. See what is behind the picture." That was a little riddle - behind my picture, i had a picture of him, mountain climbing - he had this fear of heights and he conquered it and I was proud of him for that. Anyway, he didn't understand the riddle right away and two months later, I got a call from him saying that he found the real picture.
So, I think the gift meant something.
