correct. Obviously. But for me, in my own, totally subjective, very humble opinion, it's always a letdown when a hot babe doesn't quite live up to her hype. And that is almost inevitable, even for very talented hot babes, because they tend to get hyped above and beyond equally good musicians who happen to be ordinary looking or ugly.
Years ago I had a conversation with a young (and ordinary looking) female pro violinist who had studied with the same teacher and at the same time as Dylana Jenson. This was a couple of years after Jenson had recorded the Sibelius concerto with Ormandy and become a major Young Sensation at the age of 17. The plain Jane violinist was obviously a little jealous of Jenson's success, but said with great conviction that Jenson was good and had worked hard but was nothing special.
Sure enough, Jenson is pretty much forgotten today. No doubt she is still a very good violinist, but now she is merely a good-looking middle-aged woman rather than a hot young babe.
Any art form that pushes sex appeal too hard is distracting from the best of what the art has to offer. Hey, they could put hot babes on stage and forget about music. No wait, that's been done. ;-)

Babe Violinist who made the BIG TIME on looks alone? Child Prodigy? Maybe, Babe Violinist? Try again!
Dylana Jenson does have an interesting story but it has nothing to do with her sex appeal or lack of.
Nigel Kennedy. A very fine violinist, no two ways about it. Then he decides to (attempt to) dress, act and even speak like a punk rocker, and be known as "Kennedy".
Yuck. But still better than seeing him in a skin-tight miniskirt.
