Artist to Watch For in 2014

I was surfing the web and stumbled upon a features story on the  Hello Beautiful website. The story gave readers insight to forthcoming artist for this year. I enjoyed the post; however, I cant help but think about artists who are still building repertoire with listeners and spectators. Well I guess what Im trying to say is; Is the Music Industry the Spear-head to Career Suicide?

Most artists write,sing,and perform because there is this undying love for the art, and based on the artists that the website introduced, the artists appear to be passionate about their craft and not necessarily looking for monetary gain.

All most all of the artists have established YouTube Channels that feature original work, covers, and live performances. My question to you all is this; In the height of social networking, personal blogging and video production, is there a need for musical contract with top labels?

Next, is the lovely songstress, JoJo who publicly announced the contract release from her former label, Blackground records. In the midst of new artists coming into the corporate music world, JoJo will not only have to rebrand herself as an artist, but she will also be challenged with creating a stronger fan base. So I guess she could take the final slot of the Hello Beautiful "Artist to Look for in 2014."
