Sorry I didn't read through all the pages before replying.
But my take is that Alia has been given an unprecedented amount of hype, more than any of her contemporaries. In KJO-sponsored media, she has been covered relentlessly, articles used to elevate her has been written exclusively for her, the PR machinery at large has thrust her relentlessly into our faces.
It's supplier-induced demand, nothing else. If Alia was not backed by KJO, she would not even be in top 10. Audience doesn't love her, audience loves hype. We all fall prey to it. Alia is a mediocre actress with little or no star power.
