    Talent Trumps Sexy

    Thank you for the piece on how the TV show American Idol and the movie From Justin to Kelly prove that teenagers value genuine ability over superficial sex appeal [TELEVISION, June 23]. Although I listen to stars like Britney Spears, I have much more respect for performers like American Idol's Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken, whose talents far outshine the clothes they wear and the way their bodies look. Each has an incredible voice, and that is what makes them beautiful. Kelly doesn't need micro-minis and tube tops; Clay was still idol material with red hair and glasses. Talent and a good heart make you a teenager's idol today.
