It's too bad that from a marketing perspective, talent and songwriting take a backseat to the fashion show. You can always use hit songwriters to make a freakshow sound good. Imagine if MTV didn't change the way we perceive music today. Now it's about the visual instead of the band or song. There were some ugly looking bands in the 70's that would have never been allowed a video these days!
I guess if you can sing and write these days, you still need a gimmick for the big labels to notice you.
Who needs 'em anyway!!
