There are exceptions, but in general, in the modern music world, beauty trumps talent. You could be a great musician, but if you don't look pretty on YouTube, the A&R people think no one wants to hear you.
I think modern media can offset that a little. There's been plenty of people making use of virtual avatars to represent themselves in the past few years and still achieve decent success. Though obviously you're quite limited in what you can do if you remain anonymous.
I recall a few years ago a singer rather like that, REOL, made her first music video which she herself starred in and it kind of did accelerate her popularity. It's hard to remain anonymous if you're also looking to tour and be on stage. As an aside; it's delightful how her "face debut" song is about how she's unsure how she wants to do her debut.
Oh for sure! I can’t help but wonder if a straightforward upvote-downvote system without the bias of algorithms aimed at clicks and profit would allow more folks who didn’t look canonically sexy to have careers. I know there are biases in general, and it may turn out to be a small percent overall, but getting a few percent more of a spotlight would still increase the Mozart count.
