Lots of these stars are from the US or the UK. Because it's easier for them to break out. But I'm sure there are talented people in Egypt or Nigeria, but they don't have the opportunity to make it big.

She's not the only one with stage presence.  If they work on themselves. She did.

You need a good manager and label first.

Like I said, anybody can blow up, when I said this I was referring to external factors. Talent is something that a manager or a record label cannot take away from you and will outlast trendiness. With a couple exceptions all of the most successful recording artists of all time were wildly talented and loved reinventing their sound specifically to showcase different aspects of their talent. The combination of talent and the celebrity machine is what makes a true superstar.

Not necessarily. Lookism comes into factor as well

Charisma > talent to be a star

 

Tons of girls have charisma but no talent and end up as stars. But you need talent to last. Britney is a perfect example.

actually talented people are songwriters, producers, audio engineers, beat makers. Who becomes famous speaks on marketability, less of the talent. 

no, and it's never been so.

Talent and Beauty yes
