I understand this desire, but I've never known it to be the reason why anyone ever made it big. You win the Olympic gold medal for being the best, but you make it in show business because you sell tickets. All the arguments about who's better, more deserving, passed over, hyped...to me, they're irrelevant to the way things have always worked in entertainment.
