Are you really sure that's what you mean?

If this is what you call talentless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3pUItwVxyc

And let me tell you, musical talent alone will not get you very far in showbusiness.

Either you're deaf, or your standards are very low. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I personally know tens of musicians, and most aren't even that talented, who make Lady GaGa look like the proto-amateur she is. Her talent is to sell, not to make music. Last but not least: she's ugly as hell. But then, so was Britney Spears 10 years ago, and that didn't stop her from becoming "successful".

We'll have to agreee to disagree then. I'm not so shallow on the appearance part, that's just your sexism.
