I wouldn't dare name band names, but I have seen female-fronted bands mentioned on this forum that IMO, have a fugly singer, and not once did I see the type of <negative> comments that I see for Delain and Amaranthe.

what mainstream radio station plays songs with growls like those in Hunger?

Good points, Akumu.
I certainly don't intend to flame anyone, but I do have to ask, what mainstream radio station plays songs with growls like those in Hunger?

I can see this being played on 97.9 KUPD in Phoenix, sort of. The growls wouldn't be what scares them off from this, it's the more metal heavy synth that would. I don't fucking understand how something like this gets labeled mainstream but Edguy doesn't though. This doesn't sound mainstream at all.

Wonders aloud.. so, if Elize was fugly, would you all give the band, as a whole, more credit?
Someone sounds bitter that they didn't think of it first. LOL!

You're joking, right?
Jen, in all fairness, YOU set this thread up to take this turn by posting in the subject "Elize=hot". You obviously wanted us to pay more attention to her looks than to the music, since you didn't mention that in the subject. Right?
.
Hold up!
I modified the thread title with the (Elize = Hot) thing, not Jen. However, I didn't think about it being under her name. I said the same in my post that was under my name in the thread. The original thread title was about the song streaming that she posted.
I apologize to my wife for the misunderstanding.
More credit? No!
I've turned bands down in the past because the main focus of the band (the singer) was too damn ugly. There's no way you can sell a female fronted band that's butt ugly in today's market.
I find the 2nd part of that statement to be a travesty.
I also believe it works the same for guys. I can't tell you how many times I've heard fat jokes about some of the men who've been on the PP stage.

IMO, it seems as if some feel that when a band's music and/or image is "too poppy, mainstream, or bubblegum" that they aren't as credit-worthy as musicians.
