She should have. If you are a great singer, you don’t have to be thin or a looker if you are selling records and concert tickets. Other examples:

Ethel Merman
Jennifer Holliday (before she lost weight)
Meatloaf
Mama Cass
Janis Joplin
Aretha Franklin
Lowell George (Little Feat)
Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Barry White

I'd like to include an honorable mention of Martha Wash. The video for C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat" had this woman (Zelma Davis) lip-synching "Everybody dance now"...
