![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Swift is hiring Max Martin to write for her and trying to make the jump that no one has previously made-from red state country starlet to pop star. That's because SHE.is an artist-that's HER sound. She also keeps alive a style of 60s pop that flies in the face of what is contemporary-whether it was in the 80s, 90s, or her album this year. She also has a voice unlike any female I've heard. Suzannah Hoffs still gets little respect as a singer/songwriter-because she's freak of nature gorgeous. So, if anything, I could make the case that Bonnie McKee (Perry's good friend,backup dancer, and ACTUALLY talented singer/songwriter) didn't make it BECAUSE she was crazy gorgeous. Jennifer Hudson? Kelly Clarkson? As you look at AI folks who were directly selected BY the public.You see a pattern? Pretty-but, flawed, thus relatable. They are pretty but flawed-Pink in her boyishness Adele with her weight-so the buyers of music are not threatened. Next time you see Adele or Pink in concert-look at that fanbase. That's the key to Adele and Pink's success.alluded to previously-in the panned back grand scheme, they're both attractive women (I mean considering the whole of the population)-but, they're not disarming or.THREATENINGLY beautiful. Who bought the Beatles? Who followed them around for years screaming before they actually got GOOD? Keith Urban, who is an AMAZING guitar player-did he make it because he's an amazing player? A decent/competent singer? Beiber? Beatles. Blake Shelton made it big based on his amazing vocals? Umm.Rascal Flatts? Kenny Chesney. But, the implication that people made it because of looks is generally serious overstatement. FUGLY folks won't entertain us.generally speaking. The implication that one would not make it "big" without being above average looking? IS true. That said, again-there's ALWAYS been a certain bar-so, they're not going to be fugly.at the same time, I would venture that to a large degree, you will find more attractive women who can sing-for both genetic reasons and moreover, for reasons of self image at young ages that make them confident enough to take the lead in choir.do a number from Phantom in a talent show.sing in front of BOYS, who would be a larger musician demographic. ![]() I'm also really not compfortable publicly calling anyone "ugly".fat, I guess is a little more choice, I would venture that if I listed my last few years of purchases of female singers, there would likely only be a few who were "yowza" attractive. And I respect that, as something I lack completely. But, she didn't make it BECAUSE she's pretty. And, frankly resent the implications Al makes that people make it "because of their looks"-even as MUSICALLY talentless as Katy Perry is, you're missing that she made it because of her drive and willingness to do 's pretty. #1179535 - 12/03/12 01:33 AM Re: Are there any female vocalists who are fat and/or ugly who still made it ?Īs someone who listens to a majority female singers.this is actually a subject I feel very strongly about. That woman without the make-up, costumes, and editing is straight up butt ass ugly. In fact without the rampant photoshopping (one of which is ALWAYS facial slimming) even Pink is better looking than Adele.and that's not saying much.īut the absolute ugliest female artist out there who get's photoshopped more than any? Lady Gaga. Adele seems to get the most airbrushed treatment so people think she's pretty.but she's really average at best. #1179529 - 12/03/12 01:22 AM Re: Are there any female vocalists who are fat and/or ugly who still made it ?īut, I mean.is Pink a supermodel? I sure don't think so.īoth Pink and Adele are two of the most photoshppoed female artists out there. All good singers (no comment on material) who don't look good enough to be on the radio today. That admittedly got hyped more with MTV-in fact, I see/hear that MORE with men. There's been some degree of looks mandate since the beginning of entertainment. It's actually a bit like reverse discrimination by wanna be hipster douche critics like Al.įor every obvious "looks over talent" like Katy Perry, I can show you ten great vocalists who get nada respect because they ARE gorgeous. But, frankly, she's also not going to win singing contests EITHER. Dar Williams isn't going to win beauty pageants. ![]() Lotsa prettier women with bigger badder pipes.īut, I mean.is Pink a supermodel? I sure don't think so. But, people take her more seriously BECAUSE she's not a supermodel. She doesn't qualify by Al's standards, as she's a pretty girl. Actually, Adele sells very much because she's heavy. ![]()
