Adele spoke these words to '60 Minutes Australia' when asked about her looks. We thought music was always about hearing, but we know that's not true anymore. Listening is often secondary to videos since MTV and other visual media came on strong 20-30 years ago and continues today with VISUALs like American Idol and The Voice. . No wonder music has deteriorated ( our opinion and many others) as now an artist must have the 'right' appearance even more than the voice . When's the last time you saw an average-looking singer with a hit record? If they were trying to pick on Adele's looks that's pretty sad. Remember what Susan Boyle had to go through answering to her 'non-standard' looks; there are probably many Susan Boyles out there who don't want to go through what she had to. And, try to name three hit records this year. Again, the song and music has become secondary to the person and face.
