I've seen that, haha.  Lang Lang is so goofy looking.

I'm afraid it doesn't beat this though:

She is pretty hot though... no wonder her record sells... ;)

I'd buy her CD just for her picture!  She's pretty good looking.  I doubt I'd actually listen to it though.  If pianists were that good looking...

Lang Lang isn't just a piano player, he's also a showoff and a model.  I think it works.  Corny, but works.  Really corny.   ::)

Fortunately, you don't need to, because she has about 20,000 pictures on her website.

If that's the truth, then Deutsche Grammophon has REALLY gone downhill.  I'm not a fan of Lang Lang, but he does have good technique and there are some things he plays well.  Besides, he's too goofy-looking to be a model.

You should see some of the artists hosted on Vanessa Mae's website, like Linda Lampenius:
https://www.vanessamae.com/linda/

doesn't she look eerily similar to Pamela Anderson?  Why do all the hot musicians play crossover classical rather than regular classical?

Btw, I doubt Vanessa Mae wrote that bullshit herself.  I would even go as far as doubting she dressed herself up like that herself.  Its called commercialism.  These people are record companies' bîtches and will dance like they're told to.  Whoever made that site, or the introduction, is an idiot who has no clue of how to reach people.  Maybe it was a middleaged engineer with an imagination equal to that of a businessman and tried to make it "get near" to the target group, which here is "young" people, and the smileys ":) :) ;)" were a pathetic attempt at this.  And Lang Lang?  I didn't know who that was until I heard people on this forum talk about him.  Sounds/looks like another cash magnet capitalist pigs' hoe, if you ask me.

Lang Lang doesn't look either like a model or a pianist, he looks like an engineer!

Yeah, if I was just as awesome looking as some movie stars.....   for some reason I think Sean Connery looks more like a pianist than an actor.
