Obviously you have to have some talent. I could go onstage banging a dustbin lid for an hour, but do you think people would listen and --- and this is very important --- not chase me out of town on a rail?
If a band or artiste didn't need some sort of talent we'd all be musicians. So yeah, you need talent. How that's defined is another matter, but I would say at a minimum know how to properly play your instrument or sing.
Of course, if you're going onstage with a trio of photocopiers and rhyming in time to their rhythms reading from the works of TS Elliot, that may be a little harder to pin down.
