Wondering what artists you think wouldn't be at all successful if they weren't so pretty or handsome.
I heard Britney's new song on my Hot AC radio station for the first time today and this thought jumped into my head-- If she weren't pretty she'd be a nobody. I know some here are Britney fans, but that my opinion. Who do you think fits into this category?

I guess the follow-up topic would be "Ugly Artists Who Are Successful"?

I don't think Beyonce would be as successful, if it wasn't for that bootylicious bootie! :o
The same goes for Jennifer Lopez, I guess...

I guess the follow-up topic would be "Ugly Artists Who Are Successful"? You read my mind! I know there are some artists out there who actually have musical talent and it doesn't matter what they look like! The talent should rule the day, but too often it's the package, unfortunately. |

Of course Britney would be no where if it weren't for her looks. The only things she's had going for her all these years is her looks and top-notch producers with a knack for catchy pop music. that's it. Sure you can argue she's a good entertainer, but fans wouldn't have given her half the chance to wiggle her booty if she'd looked like Bette Midler (no offence to Bette Midler fans)

This is very very interesting because I don't think almost everyone in today's music industry would be where they are if they didn't have their looks. Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Usher may have talent but their enormous egos and bad personalities would turn people off immediately, people wouldn't give them the time of day. Madonna wouldn't have gone anywhere either if it wasn't for her sex appeal, same goes for Janet. Mariah, though she has one of the best voices, if she was overweight she wouldn't have even been considered. I don't think it matters now because we live in a society that will always look upon image before anything else so this is like stating the obvious. There really is no need to speculate when its happened and happening as we speak

I remember the first time I heard Meatloaf. I loved the music and pictured this hot dark-haired guy as the singer. Boy was I surprised when I actually saw what he looked like! Still liked the songs though!

Who wouldn't want to give Mikaila a HUG? >:( *raises hand* I'm going to put Madonna on this list. It might not be in the "pretty" category, but her whole appeal was her image of a "bad girl" that got people interested in her music. I mean, let's face it - she didn't/doesn't have that great of a voice to attract people that way. It was her image and her song themes that attracted fans. |

I think Kelly Clarkson is pretty, but she's not beautiful or sexy enough to be successful without her voice. And i've heard so many people refer to Clay Aiken as ugly that I doubt his looks have done anything to help his success. In fact, most of the people from American Idol are too "plain" and "normal-looking" to have been signed by record labels before they went on the show. Their loss.
Christina also has the voice, so I don't think it would matter.
Both Simpsons, Hilary Duff (although she's more cute), definitely Britney and J. Lo. Enrique, and Ricky Martin to a point.

If you really think about it, image is everything when it comes to success in entertainment. Look at most of the leading actors and actresses in Hollywood. Is it a surprise that they have an appealing look? Same thing in music. Of course, just because you have a good look doesn't mean you'll make it, but it does help.

Britney Spears.
Note: If you have a great voice, and you are pretty or handsome you con have success only if the discography gives you the right song...
