This is what i said XD ~! of course if we look at underground and stuff like that every country is going to be equally creative, but if we just focus on the mainstream this is how I felt too.
I just think it is weird how everyone can be so against the sex appeal. I mean it is just a look. Shouldn't the music be more important? Anyways I think it is better for a woman to be able to do what she wants... Personally if they want to use the image to sell they should be allowed to do it without discrimination... I mean lots of male singers ***** off their bodies to the public and get away with it. A tonne of asian singers just try to follow the cute look and try to sell. I think a sex appealed singer who makes music I can apperciate is worth a lot more than a cute singer who makes distasteful music to me... ( agrees with powwo pretty much. I personally believe european is the most creative)
I think lady gaga is an amazing person personally. She makes really good music and she knows how to grab the media's attention. Even if she dies out, I'm pretty sure we're all going to remember her for that image haha. She might've not brought a new image to the table, but she definitely took the sex-appeal to a new level LOL. she's pretty damn smart to me too. I think for sales in term of music, attention is the most important. As long as you have good music, people will buy it even if your image is bad. I think this is how madonna startd her career too. Very smart IMO : )!
