   LOOKS. Because we all know that if Taylor Swift (or Miley Cyrus) looked like Whoopi Goldberg, nobody on this planet would know her name other than immediate family. There are rare exceptions when a female recording artist isn't so-called hot, and all of those either do rap or record regular songs as a tangential pursuit to their main career of comedy, like Bette Midler. Other rare exceptions include a few winners of American Idol. Of course, this good-looks rule does NOT apply to male recording artists (e.g., Mick Jagger).
