Yes, that's why I wrote Debbie Gibson. Debbie was definitely more about image. Deborah is all about talent.

She's all grown up with her own site and everything!

For those are completely turned off by visuals in their music, I wonder if people miss out on some good music because a talented performer is also attractive.
|
No one is turned off by the visuals. It's the music execs who go and round up 5 pretty boys or girls, hook them up w/ voice coaches and dance choreographers, plaster their pretty faces on every billboard and light post in town, and expect me to pony up $18.99 at Best Buy for their CD after hearing their first single (that they didn't write or play any instruments on) overplayed on the radio for the next 3 months. If this is the "good music" you're referring to, this is neither "good", nor are they "talented".

Kevin, how much of the musical landscape is made up of 'Nsync and their ilk? It's very little. If that defines current music for you, than you're falling for the marketing, even if you don't buy their CD.
My point is that people in the business are going to push good looks if they have it to work with, even with talented artists. Does that mean ugly musicians are getting left behind? Maybe, we just don't know that. Is it a coincidence that the most popular jazz singer right now is an attractive blonde with nice legs? Either way, a lot of people really like her music.

Don't tell me there are Tiffany fans on this thread? Where is she now? Maybe waiting tables sum-whar...?

Mike, w/ all due respect, you are reading w-a-a-a-y too much into this thread and into my original comments. This isn't a "hate the beautiful people" thread. Again, I feel that w/ today's new artists, it's all about "the look" than about the music.

The scenario I mentioned that you are referring to w/ your comment was just an example. If you look at my original post you will see that I referred to boy/girl bands as well as new solo artists - especially the new solo artists. True, there are attractive and talented new artists both known and unknown right now. There always has been, and there always will be. But right now, I perceive a trend taking place in pop music that sacrifices the talent, and pushes "the look". As someone else here put it already, people like Brittney, JLo, N'Sync, Beyonce, and Jessica Simpson didn't amass their fortunes because of their talent. What comes to your mind at the mention of JLo?.....Not talented artist, but yep you guessed it, BOOTY! Her big attractive (depending on who you are) butt has earned her millions.
