He may not be have very an appealing appareance to everyone,but you can’t expect everyone to look attractive can you ?!
Also atleast he can sing unlike certain (no naming) singers popular today that rely on auto tune.
Plus i bet who ever called him ugly did not realise that his or her favourite actor/actress wears a lot of makeup.
