I disagree, Monrose. Looks only matter if you're looking for fame. If you're looking to be a true, talented singer, however, it does not matter. Some of the best singers I know don't look like the beautiful, skinny famous singers (some of them not real singers even) of today's singers-fame. Have आप heard of Susan Boyle? Alice Cooper? Billy Joel? These are not the young, drop-dead-gorgeous ones, but they are extremely famous and successful. :)
Aretha Franklin and Barbara Streisand are two और that are extraordinarily famous for being amazing singers. However, they don't look like Taylor Swift, and they are MUCH और successful, and they will be remembered in 50 years. The type that आप are thinking of, Monrose, is the teen-fad type, and they aren't real singers.
@Monroe: It is everything if आप want your fanbase to mainly be 12-year-old girls and creepy old men. But seriously, looks aren't everything. With some of my प्रिय artists, I fell in प्यार with their voices long before I knew what they looked like. Looks are just a little bonus package.
Only if आप want to be the अगला Miley Cyrus do आप have to be beautiful, and she isn't a real singer. She won't be remembered in 50 years. The true singers often aren't all that amazing-looking, and just look normal.
I don't usually answer these things but I've had one too many tonight so... I think what आप really want to know is whether या not आप look like a pop star. There's a huge difference between being a singer and being a pop star. Pop stars don't necessarily require talent...just good looks and an agent who knows how to sell them. True singers are in it for the संगीत and should therefore focus on their talent first, looks second. And for the record, judging from your आइकन [if that's even you], no आप don't look like a pop star. You're not wearing enough makeup and आप haven't been photoshopped into plasticity. Oh and आप seem to be lacking in shiny accessories, painted-on clothing and a come-hither sex kitten pout.
