I remember (as a kid) watching Leo on TOTP dessed as a clown - and my Mum said "If he has to get dressed up like that as a gimmick, then he can't have much talent, so won't be around for long".
I think that was the first time I realised that parents aren't always right ... sometimes talented people need a gimmick to get noticed - then it's the talent that will shine through.
