Sheryl Crow: plenty capable of rocking with her clothes still on.
Imma be real witchu - nothing drives me more crazy than a 75% naked female celebrity who says, "I'm not a role model for little girls."
BULL. CRAP.
Lil' Miley Cyrus ain't your 10-year-old daughter's Hannah Montana anymore. She has traded in her training bra for... kinda scary looking lingerie??... in her new video (I won't post it here) appropriately titled "Can't Be Tamed."
And to think we were all hoping Miley wouldn't NEED to be tamed. Why do we set ourselves up for so much disappointment?
Billy Ray, y'all need to shake that daughter of yours and tell her she doesn't need to be naked to sell albums. She's pretty, has a great voice, and can be plenty sexy without haven't to resort to wearing her birthday suit. Will someone, for once in my lifetime, tell young girls that talent and intelligence are more important than a perfect body and breasts hanging out?? PLEASE? Because you know what's coming next - "I'm not a role model."
Honey, say whatever you need to to justify it to yourself, but you ARE a role model. Not just Hannah Montana, but YOU. And if you didn't want to be a role model, then daddy never should have let you flop on out into the spotlight. Not that you have to be Mother Theresa. We don't need perfection. You don't have to wear a snowsuit and moon boots in your videos, but c'mon. Having to "tame" a teen or tween daughter is every parent's worst nightmare!
From an artistic standpoint, I think it just takes away from the artists' talent. I miss the 90s. The 90s was very focused on "chickrock." Sure, Sheryl Crow (my 2nd favorite musical hero) posed for some sexy pics, but the focus was on her talents. Put Sheryl and Rhianna on the same stage together, and Rhianna will feel like she's on the wrong planet. It was about the songwriting. It was about connecting with the experiences of other women.
Thank God the Lilith Fair is coming back to life this year. I'm a little annoyed that they're hosting Rhianna because I can't stand Rhianna OR her voice. I'm also not into Queen Latifah, who is also on the docket. Can you sing? Play an instrument? Write your own music? If not, DON'T PLAY THE LILITH FAIR. That's just my humble opinion. At least Martina McBride has one helluva voice - chick doesn't even need a microphone! Colbie Caillat will be there, which means all the punk chicks and lesbians will have to suffer through "Bubbly." I'd advise patrons to take a bathroom break at that point, perhaps make a popcorn run.
Know what's awesome? A woman onstage with a guitar, or sitting behind a piano, singing her lungs out to a song SHE wrote.
Know what's pathetic? A woman onstage with next-to-nothing on, rapping a song somebody else wrote.
And you know I'm right. Pin It
