"Gimmick" Celebrities That Turned Out To Actually Be Talented....
This comes from Grey Lensman's post on the Controversial Opinions Thread:
[QUOTE=Gray Lensman;4070345]Lady Gaga tried to just sing music initially, but failed to get much notice. It's only after she went all outlandish that anyone cared for what her music was like.[/QUOTE]Way back in his breakout days, I thought there was no way that Prince was going to last once people tired of his antics, and I can see that people might have thought the same of Elton John. Both of them proved to have real talent that lasted over time.
Who else is out there like that who's image masks their very real abilities? (not just limited to musicians)
