The Talented Freak Essay -- Music, Lady Gaga, Sex

The melody industry has taken a wrong turn, and it affects our new generation medicinal drug videos becoming more like pornographic trailers causing men and women to exteriorize each other as a rouse object. According to Camille Paglia (lecturer, educator, and feminist) in Lady Gaga and The Death of Sex, Hollywood dis reared that agitate was commodious box office (2). Because sex sells, it is a market technique utilise by record companies to sell more record. So does sex employment really empower women? In Paglias article, Madonna I animal nature and Artifice, she claims that dominatrix (used by Madonna) empowers women, and it should be praised by all fe virile musicians (89). I consort to Paglias claim that sexuality sometimes empower rather than play women to act sluttish however, in music, I believe the line surrounded by a woman using sexuality and promoting herself as an object is unmarked because it changes depend on who dominate. When male musicians dominate a cert ain fiber of genre (hip-hop), many new musicians (women included) degrade women to jumpstart their career because sex sell. For instance, before Nicki Minaj gets famous, she started her career by corrupting women in her mix tape, Sucka Free, cover picture because most people think hip-hop is only male profession, and it has little respect for women because mostly men listen to hip-hop. And so for womanly rappers to get the attention from those men, she has to jumpstart her career by using her sex appeal image. In addition to her degrading cover stir up, that might caused early days women in our society to accept it as a norm, she was criticized by many because that posture was non only inappropriate, but it was copied from Lil Kim. In fact, it was the same pose Lil Kim uses on one of her older cover... ...a blame Gaga for killing sex. Personally, I think Paglia argument that blames Gaga for not being sexy did not explain enough about Gaga who know how to play piano, compile music, sing great live, dance, and make fashion (Needham 2). It mostly comparison to her long-term crush (Needham 2) Madonna who is, as Paglia stated, the future of feminism (Madonna I Animality and Artifice 90) now seems marooned in the past (Needham 2). boilers suit Gaga is empowering everyone respect each other and love themselves, unlike Rihanna who exploiting women to be a slave for men. I believe Rihanna not only degrading women but also exploiting kids by sing to them inappropriate song for their age. irrespective if number of musicians like Rihanna increase, I think Gaga will give far more success than musicians who choose to follow rather than lead.
