Yep. I think Modonna started a trend that has now, sadly, become the
standard. This trend puts style and marketing above musical talent. She and
Britney and a dozen other female vocalists have become rich and famous not
because of their musical genius or artistic innovators, but merely as
masturbatory fantasies. Christina, Shania, Faith, LeAnn, Lil Kim, etc, etc.
Its all about the wood, boys. I mean, compare that crowd with, say, Janis
Joplin or Aretha Franklin. I'm not saying the songs themselves are always
horrible, just that music itself has taken a back seat to sexy dancing and
erotic lyrics. Think of Janet and Justin at the superbowl, for example. They
sang a stale piece of crap, but how many records will be sold because the
world saw a single breast? I imagine the stunt will put several hundred
thousand dollars into Janet's pocket. (I've even heard that there is a
German vocalist who gets totally naked by the end of her show.) But then
I've also heard Richard Thompson's version of "Ooops, I Did it Again", a
song made popular by Britney. He did it in the trubador style of the middle
ages, which was both fascinating and hilarious.
DMB,
Why has this happened? I think we forget that this is a "man's" world. Us
males have made this what it is. Since day one man has dominated the woman.
Supression and then we "blame" them for using their "sex" to make it to a man's
level? Something's wrong with this.
