Tell me the truth do you have to be thin to...?

Question

be a singer?????

Answer 1

Absolutely NOT ; if you can sing, you can bring the house down. Luciano Pavarotti was a big man and could he sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so go girl.!!!!!!

Answer 2

Not at all, but if you don't have any talent it's very helpful

Answer 3

No. Look at Wynonna Judd, Jordan Sparks, Missy Elliot...

I can think of tons of chubby female singers. You just have to have the voice and the persistence. And confidence in yourself and your body. If you are unhappy it will show to the world. Nobody wants a sad singer. It may make it easier to get into the business if you are the unreal "ideal celebrity" size, but it isn't impossible if you aren't. Sometimes, you just gotta kick the door a little harder to get it to open up. Good luck!!!

Answer 4

Not at all!

Being a talented singer and musician will get people to listen.

Being good looking will increase your chances of being a star.

Being both will increase your chances of 'making it big', but if that isnt what youre aiming for, there is no need to focus on 'being thin'.

Answer 5

h**l NO..........

Look at some of these people trying to sing these days you dont even need talent  

Answer 6

No, but it can be twice as hard to get on a record label and sell albums.  It really sucks because there are alot of really talented singers out there who belong on a record label but don't have the "looks" to go with the talent.  

I don't know about you, but that girl, Mandisa, who was on American Idol should have been in the top 2, but was cut off early I think because of her weight.  I have her CD and it is AWESOME!

It doesn't matter to me what you look like as long as you can sing....the record labels see things a bit differently I'm afraid.

Answer 8

In most cases, yes thin is what they want. See people are trying to say talent is what matters here and that's sweet and its the way it should be but the world and people in charge of music and tv prefer thin. It is possible to make it in the industry plus-sized but you have to be killer. The examples people have also given of plus-sized artists are of hip-hop/ soul and operatic singers, which yes in these genres weight is more accepted. I know this because I am a plus-sized singer too, and I have been told I need to loose weight since I want to sing latin music, if you've ever seen the spanish language channels you can see the competition. I think we can make it like this, cause were fabulous!! Keep kicking butt!!

Answer 9

No you don't but you need to be talented.

Answer 10

NO.Look at the Judd daughter.

Answer 11

no- missy, queen latifa, opera singers, ...plus there have been quite a few that weren't really that big but weren't thin either
