when you turn on your tv these days, all you see are half naked girls, or not even half (if someone has seen the video of holly valance called "kiss kis" you know what i mean). Every commercial, everything, all the female artsits, rapper or rnb, show everything they got, and it sells.
I mean it may be good for the man's viewing pleasure, but don't the women have any honour left? It doesnt matter if she can sing, or even look good (see tweet feat trina - no panties). As long as she talks about fucking, sex or anything like that and shows what she got in her videos, she can be sure that she is gonna get far in the music business.
Is this what the world has come to nowadays?
The singing skills barely matter, only couple artist are actually great singers (ie alicia keys).
This is why i deeply respect people like alicia keys or aaliyah, who were awesome singers and artist, and didn't have to show everything. I hope that alicia keys doesn't follow this too.
Now i might be gettin' replies like "oh well as long as i see great bitches im happy" but what i'm askin' is: is this all that women can show? or talk about? listen to "no panties", it goes something like "ain't no way you get up in me if you ain't got no money" or something. What's up with that?
Anyway, i hope ya'll got what i ment.
Holla back.

oh well as long as i see great bitches im happy
But no seriously, u got a point there. I really don't know why this is happenin, but a fact is boobs sell. There are only a few artits that sell without showin "some more".

SILENCE MAN!! That Video Is A Pleasure To Us All ;D ;)
On Your Other Points I Have To Agree - As A UK Channel 4 Programme Proved A While Back "Sex Sells" And Its True, Its A Huge Incentive, To Both Men And Women. Mens Attention Are Caught When We See A Scantily Clad Female Advertising A Product, Singing A Song Etc. But Equally A Female's Attention Is Drawn To A Half Naked Guy Gettin Sweaty Building Or Cleaning Windows (The Diet Coke Adverts) - The "Diet Coke Break" Slogan Was Born From That And I Have Heard Many Women Use It When They See A "Fit Man" Working.
It Works Both Ways, But Indeed Nima's Point About Talent Being Pushed To The Wayside Is Clear. Its Great To See Talent Winning Over Blatent Commercialism.
One Final Point I Cant Stand About Music That Comes From Females Is The Whole "You Aint Got Money You Aint Gettin With Me Attitude" - That Gives 'Some' Normal Women The Idea That Its Fine To Only Go After Men With Money And Tell The Rest To Get Fucked. Material Shit Rules Our World And Its Sad :-/ But I Can See That Mens Songs Tend To Degrade Women (Mainly Hip-Hop) And This Is The Way Women Fight Back!
Good Topic Nima - Good Points Raised

brandy got skills
& no titties so yeah, lets include her to the list lol
-
yea it is gettin outta hand, females half naked do make me wanna watch a video but damn....most of them cant sing worth shit...dont get me wrong if she sings good and looks good more power to her, but if she cant sing its all hype!!!! kinda like the radio these days playin sorrry ass eastcoast crap and ignoring the westcoast....
-
Yup, I agree with you totally Nima. All women have to do is show a bit of tit a bit of body and a bit of ass and they r like guarenttted to sell. It sucks. But thats life. I am sure if we all walked around with r cocks out like they do with there tits out then there would be some contreversy.
-
da brat is a minger n she has neva tried to show he body except in that wvideo with tyrese and she went platinuim before that infact she was the first female rapper to go platinum.
i think ms dynamite is the same kinda thing she is nice but she don't walk around in her video in next to nuffin.

I feel it, but talent will always rise above the artificial... alicia keys is definetly an attractive woman, but she doesn't need to show off her ass to get record sales, she's straight awesome and that's why she is getting paid...

How 'bout adding Truth Hurts to that list?
A real good topic here. This shit is so true right here...
I guess we can say it like this: The talented few sell their singin' & talent, the rest sell their bodies. (Not exactly like that. but y'all get the point!)
-
It's the truth. That's why there's too many female artists to keep up with. Out of all of them, a handful got real class and talent.
And even the ones with class and talent do good because they are decent looking. An ugly woman with a good voice goes no where.
-
all i gota say iz "Pussy Sells"
-
Damn, that's true. It's pretty fucked up, but yea so is society these days.
-
Exactly.......Pussy Sells and thats why Hoes have crowded tha game in tha past 3 or so years cuz tha Real Females aint gettin a chance......
-
oh well as long as i see great bitches im happy
and you sure as hell can find that in Belgium ;)

btw, I think sex for a male is the dangerous zone, I mean fine bitch can get alot done from us with just sneaking for sex. :o

It's true... But they don't need to be half-naked to sell. It just helps the recordsales because people wants to keep lookin' at the videos. Rappers also uses those tricks. But it helps on me!!! ;D
-
they dont have to get naked...it helps...they must be good looking though....look at missy elliot ....im not sure if she is any good or anything ...all i know is she is FAT and DAMN UGLY...so i'll never listen or buy an album from her...same with lady of rage...she was damn good ...but damn fat and ugly
-
I totally get your point! Most of the popular women in the music industry nowadays are selling because of their looks! That's a shame 4 women in general. You mention Holly Valance "Kiss kiss". I mean - That's totally embarrasing. First of all it's an old track by a turkish singer and second of all the only reason to why their showing the video is because she hasn't got very much on!!!
Peace... 8)
