As far as Saturday Night Live, who cares what the musicians look like? That show has been host to some of the ugliest raunchiest rock'n roll over the years (although also to pretty bands that fell short outside of the studio... I'll never forget the Go-Gos sounding like double-strength hangovers). If you can't sing live you really shouldn't be "performing" on a live show.

Speaking of Milli Vanilli, I saw them when they had the MTV tour with Julie Brown. 2 friends and I ended up right at front practically looking up everyone's noses. Those 2 guys really did a good job, had to be hours of practicing to tracks apparently recorded again by the original performer to make them sound different from the original album. Rob Pilatus (the one who killed himself) slashed his leg while jumping down from a monitor and bled pretty good. A couple of times he looked like he was getting a little woozy but they finished the performance. Because of the setup of the show it was obvious that some of the backing music was taped but everybody's vocals appeared to be live (ad libs, mentioning the city, etc).

It's funny. My friends and I used to joke about how each generation got "old" and didn't appreciate the "new" music and how we'd always be "hip". For a few years I was really afraid that I had become that "old" generation until I got online and realized that radio music really had turned to shit. Thank God for my http://launch.com station!... No blasphemy intended, online really is the only reason I've listened to any new music in most of the past decade.
