shyboi Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Disclaimer 1: ALL pop girls are BOTH TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL in their own unique ways. All of them are legendary and deserve respect. I just picked some images to illustrate my point. Disclaimer 2: No, you CAN'T have both like Beyoncé. For practical purposes pick one and elaborate. 1. HOT You are TALENTED asf, but your looks are really helpful in further showcasing your talent in the eyes of the general public. So, for you, showing your beauty in creative ways would be a great strategy. 2. TALENTED You are BEAUTIFUL / HOT but your raw talent and iconic stage presence really sets you apart in the eyes of the general public. So, for you, showcasing your talent would be a priority. All of them are the definition of TABS of course. Which one would you rather excel at? Edited September 8, 2023 by shyboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropez Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Talent. Some pop stars only had looks with little to no talent. Once that faded so did their careers. Talent lasts. It will speak for itself over time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepEnd Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 The talented one in ur examples are still hot . I would rather be talented if I can look amazing like Gaga. But I would rather be hot if it meant I didn't look like Ed Sheeran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junipero Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) I think looks sell more. "Talent" is subjective. What type of talent? Singing, songwriting, music production? A good example would be Rihanna, she says she could not sing when she auditioned, but it was obvious that she was chosen for her looks. She has a great team who handed her a folder worth of hits. And then there are people who can write songs, but the truth is that I feel that a good producer serving amazing production(instrumental) is what makes a song a "hit song". How many people do you see post something original to the internet and it never takes off? For example, many of the songs from Lana Del Rey's debut album was reproduced but the songwriting(melody) was still the same, the only change was the instrumental. You can even hear the demos and realize that many of the reproduced songs sound better than the other versions of them(except Summertime Sadness and National Anthem), but there are even some early demos from that album that were offputing and they kept editing them until it sounded better. People are "begging" for an album like Born to Die again, but it won't happen because I doubt Lana wants to work with Emile Haynie anytime soon. Talent can be "learned" if you absorb from someone who is "talented." I read somewhere that many child prodigys are prodigys because of the amount of time they invest in a certain talent, and not because of being "born" with the ability.

Devin Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Beauty fades, talent is forever. Many current artists/celebs (esp the viral TikTok ones) exploded off looks and being relatable - most lack talent to stick around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tryna derail ur thread but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The “talented” women ur referring to are still attractive — just not in a conventionally attractive or ooze sex appeal way.
