Interesting bunch of comments, but I wonder how useful they are. The
site is designed to appeal to country and western music fans that want
information on a teenaged singer.

I'm several decades removed from teenaged, can't stand C&W music, and
dislike sites that make me dizzy with special effects. I'm willing to
accept, though, that what doesn't appeal to me may be exactly what the
target group thinks is cutting-edge good.

This is a site to advertise and promote something, and should be
designed to appeal to the group that might buy the product. If it
does appeal to the potential buyers of this girl's CDs, then any
comments about the flaws of the site should be directed to flaws that
make it difficult to read or use by the intended market.

If you take away the special effects that make this site unacceptable
to the posters who have commented, you may have a site that is
uninteresting to the people who the site is intended to reach.
