I tend to believe that any artist who has "made it" has worked really hard to get there. Bieber, Britney Spears and Nickelback included. I also believe there is a large amount of luck in making it.

I don't know if I would use the word Genius for Kroeger because I still think there is a large amount of luck involved in even maintaining such stardom. The best example I can think of is Paris Hilton. A lot of people didn't buy the bimbo blonde act instead saying it's an act and she is a marketing genius. I even read the same thing on this forum. Well unless it was her genius plan to fall off the face of the entertainment industry then maybe luck played a larger role than genius.
