She was an "amazing talent," a young singer with a wonderful voice who wrote beautiful songs. But she was no beauty, plus flat-chested and overweight to boot.

Gerson might feel even worse after Wednesday night's exit of the matronly Melinda Doolittle from "American Idol." In today's music industry, Plain Janes need not apply. Sex appeal was once considered a bonus for a woman; now it's practically a requirement. <http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/05/18/music.sexysingers.ap/index.html> _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
