Is it normal being ugly and wanting to go into the show business?

Truth is, i'm not the popular girl of school, i'm just that someone who everyone knows by hard working and talents- Practically everyone around me knows that i sing and write lyrics and produce, and i do it fairly good. I have given tests on numerous occasions and have been told that. Besides performing and producing i also have gathered a good deal of information about how the business works, what are the expectations, how do you have to deal with it, i know the pros and cons and the practical side of stuff. (I have studied graphic design for a long time so i know about photographing,modeling,visual effects and video making too.)
But truth is, i'm not pretty. I'm not trying to make it exaggerated or anything, it's just a fact i've came to accept and stuff. I have downturned eyes, crooky nose,thin lips, along those lines. And in today's show business, i see no way of breaking through if you're not looking "perfect" enough. I've tried using all the "camera read makeup tricks" and none have worked.
So, do you think it will work out if someone like me gets into the show business? Is it normal to watch a not so pretty girl sing on stage? will you enjoy the performance? Or do you think i should opt for other things than singing or a complete different career?

    Well I think you have a chance to prove people wrong that looks don't matter. Of course as someone already said u can work behind the scenes, but I would encourage you to go into non profit productions if they won't accept you. Ay least you can still achieve your dream without any consideration of profit or what sells. But I think you can do it and make it to the big time. Don't worry, go harass and try your best :)

    Don't worry about it! At least you would be being yourself, like they said above, they all spend loads if money and crap on being something that is impossible to become, I've seen plenty of shows and stuff like that with VERY Unattractive (I mean scary) people. But who cares what they say! Shoot for your dreams and forget the looks! You're beautiful believe it or not! ;)

    You gotta remember that most celebrities have a bunch of people to make them look good. I think anyone could rock what theyve got if they found the right look(and spent 3 hours doing their everyday, lol). and i doubt you are really as unpretty as you say you are. Everyone is their own worst critic. And i am way more inclined to be a fan of the art, not the image.
