Reply #3: I like her

[ellie]

because it is assumed in this world that the beautiful people are the most talented and the smartest. Indeed, the idea that beautiful people can sing are the reason we are burdened with Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson; two utterly talentless wastes of space. I think it is laughable that there are posters on DU who say, "Why doesn't she have a record contract already if she is so good?" Bwahahahaha! As if record company talent scouts are scouring the planet searching for normal looking 40 years old to sing. As if the record companies care about talent! They want acts that sell, not acts that are good. Witness the "success" of bands like Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy, who are terrible. Just terrible.

But then I know this because I live grounded in reality where life isn't fair and the best person doesn't always win.
