Honestly...
I think it's a reflection of a trend in our society: our current fixation with the media, and the need to fill it with charismatic beauties, allows beautiful people to survive with minimal know-how.

She didn't need a high school degree to look pretty on stage and sing. She did need to work hard and practice to attain any level of performance-level vocal prowess. She also needs to put more effort into her appearance than most studious, university-driven folk. One only has so many hours in a given day. She chose to use hers to sing, dance, put on makeup, etc.

As long as she can see to her basic needs without a lick of common knowledge, she will not bother to learn.

Would you want it any other way?
(I know I would)
