How much do looks really matter?

OK.
Let's decipher that "stellar" word in relation to Cyrus' performing that particular song.
This thread is called, "How much do looks really matter?".
Here is more about Miley's "look/s" during that performance.

"But perhaps the appearance will be most remembered for how Cyrus defied physics with her cleavage-baring track suit. Gorilla tape? Super glue? Whatever means Cyrus used to prevent a massive wardrobe malfunction ultimately proved successful, but undoubtedly gave Lorne Michaels’ a heart attack in the process."

"The 26-year-old singer sported a black pantsuit worn with no bra underneath..."
"While the singer risked a wardrobe malfunction with the daring look, she managed to avoid baring it all as Ronson strummed a guitar by her side."
I think it's really bad when the only one "stellar" thing about that song is "no bra underneath cleavage-baring track suit."
Yes sir. May I have another scolding for not aligning to the topic so that I may be corrected for possible future infractions? It feels so good.
I previously related it to boomers who wore jeans and tee shirts in an act of rebellion, so come on in and enjoy the party, it’s an all-ages event.
I saw the Miley Cyrus/SNL thing last night....The whole time I was thinking she has to dress like that to distract from the fact that her voice sounds like what a tumor would sound like if it could sing.
Thanks for the invite. If anyone has a question about matching string silks to your tie hit me up.
Every time this subject comes up, my answer is always the same - it all depends on the time and place. If your band wants to look like they got caught in a rag explosion; your paying audience is fine with it; and it's not going to keep you from ever playing there again? Fine... If conditions call for you to dress like grown ups; a '60s kind of band "uniform" (for want of a better word); or even (God forbid) some KISS kind of thing? Well, whether you go along with it or not, pretty much depends on whether you like getting paid.. And, personally? I like getting paid - quite a lot, too...
When I was in a band - long ago, and far away - we pretty much dressed like this -
But, so did our audiences. Which, like us, were military people, stationed overseas in the early '70s. All of us spent waay too much time in for-real uniforms; most of us were in our early 20s; and whenever we got the chance to, everybody dressed more or less like this... The audience didn't care what we looked like; the venues didn't care what we looked like; and we got $$$'s and free beer. Worked out great for everybody..

As cool as Lemmy was, I couldn't show up dressed like him at a majority of my gigs.

Maybe your God hath spoken. My God, on the other hand... Well how about that, they seem to agree!
Bootsy is sweet as shag! I just aint got the funk. Too much angry white boy in my playing.
