There are many women who make good music and work hard, but it doesn't hurt that she attractive.

>Lorde
She's an outlier (I love her music and I think she's adorable).

>All that matters is that you have a great voice
100% not true. There a thousands upon thousands of singers who with great voices who will never be famous due to various circumstance.

Cat Power before she got famous and started making mainstream music

she had crippling social anxiety and such good music
not that i'm not glad she got over anxiety, i'm just saying she couldn't even handle being in a spotlight at all, concerts were breaking her, she couldn't even play on stage
i can't even find the video because she got so famous since that there's a ton of live videos on youtube now

>pulling an argument out of a technicality

Yeah, her face is not on the album cover but that's not the end of the story, m8. You cannot deny that she takes extra good care of her looks in order to attract an audience full of horny males who are mesmerized by the cuteness of her stage presence. In fact, one could even go as far as to argue that if Lauren wasn't fetishized by so many of her fans, CHVRCHES would never have become famous on the merits of their music alone.

Basically, the less a female artist takes care of her looks, the more eligible she is to be mentioned ITT.
