    In all probability, no. Sad denouncement of the promoters & the potential audience.

    If she had any of these things & a great voice her, only chance of stardom would have been through one of these reality talent shows. But the promoters would be scrambling to try to "erase" any impediments to their money stream.
    I dunno...there's Adele. She isn't exactly ugly but she isn't exactly an hourglass figure either (and if we're critiquing Spears on makeup, I'd wager Adele also gets quite done up for her shows). She had a great voice and the right team to help her shape that talent into something that kinda, sorta, was an epic success.

    Wow! Make up... Photoshop... Autotune... (PEDS - for the baseball fans among us)... Is anything real anymore?

    I'm sure someone here would supply you with such a photo if you asked nicely.

    I'd send you a pic of my scrotum.

    Some singers make it on talent (Cass Elliott), others don't (anything under the Disney umbrella). It's a business.

    I'd be happy to help her with her vibrato any time.

    Of course, that narrows the options down considerably...

    But, wouldn't the act of sleeping with such a crazy person make you crazier?

    She wouldn't have made it without that damned Auto-Tune, pre-recorded vocal tracks live and her over-the-top stage spectacles. She's one of the reasons I came to HATE Disney so much.

    But would make-up have made it without people such as Mayans or Kabuki theater?

    I think he'd be a cult favorite. I don't think he'd dancing around in giant hamster balls in arenas, though.
