Most people are too shallow to go down that road. This is, I think, hypothetical because the guy does suck.
A similar phenomena is where you like an obscure band, and no one has heard of them. then they get some crap song on the radio. People see your CD's, "hey I like them, they did Crap Song."
88% of the obscure band listening country will say "I hate Crap song- I liked obscure band way before, for other reasons."

As a follow-up. I have not busted out the Clay Aiken CD. I will note that I also am now the proud owner of the Kelly Clarkson CD. Considering the facts that I don't watch AI and that both CDs were free, I have no qualms about displaying them proudly in my CD collection. Of course if I never remove the shrinkwrap, I'll never know if they are good or bad.
Edit - this was your first indication that taxwonk is unique?
