Looks in the music industry (TALENT vs. LOOKS)

Okay I'm gonna rant like it or not lol. I am so sick of the music industry and looks. Back when the Spice Girls came out (so long ago lol) people called them heavy and such yet they all (other then sporty) have admitted eating disorders such as bulimia! Now like them or not this follows through with my point lol. 1996 Britney Spears makes her mark with "baby hot me one more time" but people that song barely makes sense 'baby hit me one more time' come on what in the world message is that (i know talk to me but it sounds so stupid!) As the years passed we found: she cant write music, lyrics, or even sing yet she's idolized because of her looks. I heard her first attempts at song writing: So curious, Dear Diary and people she had help writing them and there still crappy! In summer of 2000 a singer named Kina emerged with girl from the gutter as her song. Beautiful....song and voice that is. Kina wasnt overweight or anything she was just older (oh she had to be in her late 20's early 30's) and she just wasnt a pop princess yet she wrote her own songs and her voice is just amazing you can feel what shes singing (go to your file sharing program and search for her shes amazing lol)! But did she make it? NO! And thats a shame! After Britney came Christina who was actually talented but her talent got overshadowed by her image and looks (People I believe she trys to make herself look ugly!) Then Jessica, and Mandy. But all thse 'britney' wannabes were more talented and have progressed to sing nicely and write songs yet you only hear of them on their image or feud between them and another artist! Well then came 2002 and Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton, and Michelle Branch. 2 of the 3 arent considered very pretty yet we're starting to feel guilty of our choice of who gets fame over the years so we go and say 'Oh its so wonderful they write their own songs and play instruments yeaahhhh!!!' But are they really that great? Vanessa: yes. She is amazing and spectacular live and even accoustic. Michelle: no. She cant keep her notes or melody live and yet I will admit her lyrics and songs are good but she cant perform live. Avril: no. Okay shes a 'punk britney' she 'speaks the truth' 'shes herself' oh good for her half of us can relate and shes pretty so people like her. Yet...everyone is saying her songs are so great and I've heard them and read the lyrics and people this girls no Michelle or Vanessa her lyrics lack and "Complicated" in my opinion just seems to drag on and on. Now wheres this going? Image has taken over industry! Maybe you all noticed this during "American Idols" debut when a overweight Aretha Franklin look and sound a like contestant was the first to be booted in hollywood because 'she didnt fit the image' yet she still sung better then any of them! I'm a singer I know people personally and it may just break your heart. There is a girl named Ebony. Her and the girl on American Idol are a lot alike yet Ebony produced and wrote her whole album and promotes online and its beautiful singing and such! Its all bout the looks it seems. I dunno this makes me mad how do you all feel?-Kaja aka Queen Crazy

Date: 8/23/2002 6:04:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 15675    omg i left that out! Yeah the beatles and elvis some of the 'greatest muscians of all time' but lord and i quote a beatles song 'she loves u ya ya ya ya ya' repeat lol.  
Date: 8/23/2002 6:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 50864    Agree so many greats of days gone by would not make it in today's loks ased world Janis Joplin, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, and Tom Petty to name just a few  
Date: 8/23/2002 6:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 45684    I agree somewhat. But I do have to say, look at some of the Beatles' LATER songs do have great messages. And they weren't that good looking (at least not Ringo LOL). But anyway, I do think that society bases way too much on looks, and not enough on substance.  
Date: 8/23/2002 6:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 19342    yo im from the time looks were just part of the gig!
Remember MOTLEY CRUE?
Poison....well need i say more?

Date: 8/23/2002 7:07:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 15675    yes John Lennon had some beautiful songs. U know I've been told I was Janis Joplin in my last past life maybe im reliving it lol!  
Date: 8/23/2002 7:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 39370    Of COURSE it is all about looks now. You can't succeed in the entertainment business if you don't have the 'right look'. Sadly, people wil forcus more on the image more than the talent. But, as much as I hate to face the facts, thats all people care about these days. They think that if you have looks, you must have talent.
