Now Lady Gaga might be on or mentioned TV everyday, literally on every channel but Shakira seen far too often on TV?

You think that all ugly people are talented and anyone who looks like a model isn't. Yep!

@asdf, it doesn't make them talentless which which is the point I'm trying to prove. Model or not. Pop star or not.

They might not be talented to your liking, but they are not talentless. No matter what you say.

You must hate every artists that looks good and can sing.

Of course it is. That's why its called the MUSIC INDUSTRY. Looks like your AP teacher is feeding you a whole bunch of sugar coated/biased opinions.

When you sign a contract, aren't you aware that what you're getting into, is basically like a business deal. No artist or band ever signs a major record deal without having to deal with some sort of "Business". That's why people have managers, to deal with all that. Until you understand what the music business is all about, you really can't say much.

It's really up to you to become a puppet or not, by simply working with what the label wants you to do or going independent. If you're person that's into making money and while hating to admit it loves fame, then that's the person you become. But if you don't show a major record label, that you're not whatsoever interested in profiting the label in $$$$$$, they are going to smile at you and ask you to leave their territory.

And if they sign. That doesn't mean they are talentless. It doesn't mean they all use auto-tune. It doesn't mean they all change their names for cool ones, it doesn't mean they all are about Billboard chart positions.,,,,, You see labels are willing to work with you, since due to the tricky music market, they see business from a big scale of options. Instant Success (someone like Britney Spears), Building success (Someone like Shakira) ect.

They know what sells and what doesn't, it is up to the artist/band, to make music that not only is great, but is marketable to some sort of audience. That is the cold truth. It doesn't mean they are talentless or all the other stereotype people make out of jealousy or rebelliousness.

It's all a big lie, that people are living/supporting, simply because they hate that genre of music.

Okay, but I never said anything remotely similar to that...

I simply said my opinion is that they aren't talented. Not that you should think the same way as me, you can like them if you desire too.


Can anyone here tell me that they dont agree that an ugly talented person is less likely to get noticed by the press and record companies than a great looking TALENTLESS person?

The people above may or may not have talent, and that is a matter of opinion but my example with the above is a person who cant sing a single note correctly.

Great, because from that one video I would say she's pretty good...
