Firstly, look at the history of all of the stars who have used their parents' or other relatives' names, etc. to get far. With exceptions, very few or none have broken that "They're their [whosever's] [whichever relative's]" rule (e.g., "Rosanne Cash is Johnny Cash's daughter", "Ali Lohan is Lindsay Lohan's sister".). Secondly, look at the ones who have foregone using their parents' names, connections, etc.. Kate Hudson (who deliberately turned down a role with her stepddad and did not use her mother's name), Whitney Houston (who could've ridden on Cissy Houston's and Dionne Warwick's coattails, but didn't), and Hank Williams, Jr. (who had his name thrust on him and deliberately broke away to develop his own style) made their own names in their own rights. Thirdly, Crystal Gayle is an example of whom learned the lessons in the first two points--she tried Loretta's name, style, etc.; then she came back as Crystal Gayle with her own style. Fourthly, Krystal Keith's first single already failed, peaking at #53 on the country charts and #27 on the general charts; and she can never get away from being only her dad's daughter now.
Don't tell me that I'm "picking" on anyone or that I need a "hobby". Besides, having famous and somewhat-famous relatives, I know about what I speak.
