  Flaws & Fame: Susan Boyle vs. French Elle Magazine

  What is stunning to me about the whole Susan Boyle issue is that some of the musical icons of bygone day were not such great lookers either.  Ella Fitzgerald was not a beauty queen, yet she reigns supreme in the world of vocals.  What the heck do looks have to do with musical talent?
  
  And, instead of Susan, what if it were Steve?  Would we have the same look-good standard for him?  I can name many more not-so-hot male singers than female.  (Mel Torme, Jim Nabors ...)
  
  Our media are creating unrealistic standards of beauty that have absolutely no grounding in reality.  What will it take to stop the sanity?
