I would presume she's a sinner like most of us.
difference between sinning and strongly promoting sin
Really? What's the difference?

So God is going to grade us on the curve and it will go worse for those who draw others into sin?

God says that he who asks forgiveness and repents shall be forgiven.
Repent- State to god that you acknowledge that you did wrong AND do your best to avoid that sin again.
Now, I am in no way saying that I am without sin, But I am saying that have asked for forgiveness and REPENTED my sins before god. Now would there be truth in my repentance if I went out into the world and glorified the sins in which I had just repented?

You would not have repented. Repent means to turn away and stop doing it, etc... there is more to repenting than acknowledgment. It involves gaining mastery over a particular sin so that is no longer controls you – you stop doing it. Look at the following verses and look at various translations of these (NIV) as it helps covey how repentance works…
Titus 2:11, 12, 13, 14, 15

Hey, I claim to be a christian (am one!) and I still sin. What a dirty piece of filth I really am. Her Christianness is not, for me, in question...It's her 'talent' which is in question. I think all the nonsense is to disguise her utter mediocrity.
I think she does have tremendous talent, and at least for bad romance, the tune was catchy.
But talent does not mean that we should listen to her.
It does depend on the person, there are some who can handle listening and not being affecting, others should not.
Personally I don't like her videos more than the music. The videos are disturbing to me, very....robotic, very....depraved.
and I think there is a difference between sinning and promoting sin; we all can admit that we sin, but to embrace it and encourage it, that's the difference.
"And we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Jesus Christ"
Committed catholic and dresses like that? I just find it hard to believe anything that comes out of her mouth. She is most likely satanist, as are most modern artists, including my favourite Kanye West.
