I agree - quite often it doesnt.
For a sad long time image is more important ..
They can sell an image easier than music ..
look at milli vanilli for chrissakes ..
Or Frankie Goes to Hollywood ..
Or the Sex Pistols ..
The Monkees
the last 3 were formed without anyone knowing how to play an instrument..
if the talent comes later .. more power to them .. but it kills me that there are people out there killing themselves night after night rocking their asses off .. but if they dont have the right sellable look .. nothing will come of them.
How many bands have you seen with an unconventionally unattractive lead female singer ?
I can name a couple ... thats all.
