Feist on Colbert: Become an iPod artist, get citizenship

There's also a certain status called "Extraordinary Talent" that some non-U.S. artists can use to get citizenship. One of my friends who was a Canadian actor got a role in Lost and they did the same thing for her.

Well at least she is attractive. That is better than some of the wet backs that come into this country defiling the visual landscape.

All it would take is one of her parents being born here to have instant, well, not instant, but skip the green card thing and stuff. While I doubt Apple actually GOT her the dual citizenship, I wouldn't be against saying that Apple helped her with the papers or money or something. And just to tell you, even though it has been said. Dual Citizenship can be had to American Citizens as long as the other country allows it as well. I know all about it when working on Australian citizenship. However, there is nothing to say its quick, and now we wait. Lol.

@ Ian: That makes at least 2 of us. I don't care for her music either...

Anyone else find it odd this article was tagged under "analysis"? A little fact checking would have otherwise proved the lack thereof. C'mon Schramm... you can do better than this.

I must be the only one who doesn't care for the less-than-stellar music coming out of this woman's mouth.

Oh well, to each his own.

(Even if your own is rubbish.)

Feist was probably granted the O-1 visa (aka "superstar visa"). This visa is granted to people who have reached the top of their profession or international acclaim. The commercial probably helped propel Feist into this visa category. And as a result, she was granted citizenship.

Now if only there was an inverse negative to this law that deported American artists who put out crap music.

I love Feist! I listened to her before that iPod ad though. All of her songs are pretty great.

Wow. Seriously? Feist was joking. And in case you didn't figure it out, Colbert is only pretending to be conservative. Gez!

I just saw her play here in St. Louis.. she said her dad was from STL... but she was born in Canada... That's where the dual citizenship comes in.

She said sometimes the border guards give her a hard time about being a dual citizen...

Just what we needed, more weird musicians in our country.
