Martina McBride admits an old adage about making it in the music biz is wrong.

She tells the Kansas City Star that “people say its all about the music. That’s not true. A lot of good music never gets heard. A lot of bad stuff becomes successful.” She says “you just never know.”

Martina also says “all you can do is do your best to make the music you love and put it out there.” She adds that “after that, a million variables can affect whether its a success or not.”

Martina also told the newspaper that although she really enjoys Twitter, she is not sure how necessary it really is.

“I am on Twitter, and I enjoy it,” she said. “I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes. For me, it’s another way to reach fans and show maybe more of a personal side. We’re on Facebook and Myspace, but to be honest with you, I don’t know much about those.

“I do my own Twitter, and it’s fun. But I don’t know how necessary it is. I know some artists who don’t do any (social networking), and they’re still very successful. But it adds another dimension.”
