Success is more imporatant than talent because you actually have to work for it while talent is something you either are born with or not.

Believe it or not, an artist's talent can actually influence the quality of their work. Sure some artists can sound good in the studio, but when they perform live they can butcher their work completely. Value should be given to artists who are actually good at what they do, not because they've cheated their way to success.
If an athlete won a gold medal due to steroids, they should not be praised for winning. An athlete who did not win a medal but performed to the best of his ability without cheating is much more worthy of praise.
