There are (old) pictures of her before she went for the fire-engine red lips and the rest. She's a pretty good looking gal under all that.
Unfortunately, her "trademark look" is that of a cross between a clown and a tart.
That said, I admire her talent and business sense, and while I haven't seen a show in person, I did buy a CD/DVD about a decade ago and like it. Her personal history prior to about 2015 is remarkable.
You can thank her father for her “business sense.” He had a long career as a stockbroker & now handles her financial empire. Her mother was also a financial analyst.
