Somewhere in the late 90s to early 2000s, physical appearance was more important than actual talent for performing artists. The 70s and 80s had a fairly large amount of "ugly" artists.

I presume MTV changed that. You needed a great video to have a hit song. Hence Duran Duran, A-ha, etc.

Morten Harket also had an amazing voice though.
