The call girl at the center of the prostitution scandal that forced former NY governor Eliot Spitzer to step down may see her singing career benefit from the publicity.

While his illicit transaction with call girl Ashley Alexandra Dupré effectively ended Eliot Spitzer's political career this week, the aspiring singer has seen her entertainment dreams get a boost from the publicity surrounding the scandal.

According to Billboard reports, since the NewYork Times revealed Dupré's identity to the public, Dupré's MySpace page received 4,612,397 views and her song "What We Want" attracted 711,334 plays before the page was taken down yesterday (March 13). Billboard also noted that blog posts mentioning Dupré reflected a 750% increase between 3/12 and 3/13 according to Nielsen Buzz Metrics.

Additionally, The New York Times has reported that two tracks Dupré released this week to AmieStreet.com received thousands of listens as well as a price increase from free to the maximum price of 98 cents on the site, which prices songs based on user demand.

Despite the increase in attention, the jury is still out on whether the 22-year-old will be able to capitalize enough off the publicity to build a singing career.

"I'd be interested in what the music sounds like," Brian Bergen, A&R Manager at Atlantic Records told Billboard.com. "I sit around hours and hours every day trying to figure out ways to break new artists. Right now, she has a platform to reach the masses, which is the toughest thing for a new artist to attain. Whether it's a good platform or a bad one, either way she has it. It all comes down to the music at the end of the day. If the music is good, she'll be able to get it heard."

Bad Boy A&R consultant Conrad Dimanche agreed that the recent publicity has given Dupré a platform, but he says only time will tell whether she's able to turn the Spitzer scandal into a genuine career.

"It's just a matter of spinning off negative and making it positive," Dimanche told Billboard. "Part of being good [at] A&R is knowing where the talent is, regardless of background. If the music is good, it's enough for me to keep my ears open and follow the story. Who knows, maybe a year from now she'll be in a completely different place."

As for her actual talent, so far Dupré doesn't seem to be winning a lot of rave reviews. Capitol Records Senior A&R Director Chris Anokute told Billboard that any executive interested in signing the high priced prostitute wouldn't be doing it for the right reasons.

"I think her song is absolutely terrible," Anokute said. "If people are interested in signing her, then they shouldn't be in the music business. It'd be a shame to exploit her talent based on the unacceptable reality that she was involved in. Most importantly, it destroyed multiple families. I don't think the scandal will help her at all. In fact, I think the public is a bit smarter than we think they are. Even though she's had over a million hits on her MySpace, I think people are just going there to see her pictures and laugh at her attempt to pursue a music career."
