I think there are possibly multiple reasons for these statements. 1. sometimes it is just that we have reached the tipping point 2. many of the overtly sexualized performances over the last years have been incrementally perfomed by performers who have made the claim to art/dance....a claim that Miley cannot make....she is no Janet Jackson or Beyonce or JLo on the dance floor....she is gawky and awkward. And her performances have escalated at warp speed...no incremental growth for her. 3. even Brittney's 'sexualization' did not start right off with nudity and crassness....the first really "pornographic" sort of vid was done with innuendo only...she remained clothed, for the most part. Also...part of the concern by others is that she is following in Brittney's footsteps all the way to full on meld down. Sinead's and other initial comments were made out of concern...she should be thankful so many are actually concerned enough to say something... 4. Everything Miley is doing looks like it is done by a child....who is being maniupulated and is being rebellious. It is not sexy...it is awkward and often ugly. It is not well done. And she is being really rude and dismissive of concerned musical icons. 5.When she attacked Sinead, she attacked an icon of the feminist movement, and someone with real talent. Miley should wish to be able to sing like her. 6 Finally... there really will be something to worry about when everyone shuts up and just lets her make an utter fool of herself....and writes her off. For me, one of the saddest things is that compared to Miley...Robin Thicke is getting off scott free....I find that more disturbing than a silly child acting up. He is getting gigs he really doesn't rate, JMHO....sorry if anyone is a fan of the..person. Lyrics and words do have meaning .... it is disingenuous to claim otherwise ... and if he stands behind his words, I am really sorry for his wife. You made some good points here mszue, IMO and I really agree with the boldet part! ITA with that last paragraph. Robin Thicke has gotten NONE of the backlash that Miley has. I didn't see him backing away when Miley backed her ass up to him at the VMAs. He is just as responsible, if not more, because it is his music, but really nothing has been said against him in the press. I find this the most disturbing of anything. When I was in college just a few years ago I had a Sociology class and I was apalled at how the younger women wanted to play the subservient role in their marriages. What did the genrations before us work so hard for when these younger women want to go back to the old days? One young girl was a saying "I WANT to wash his clothes, cook for him and clean the house for him." Granted she had not been married very long. Of course, I tried to tell her 15 to 20 years down the road, if he doesn't help you out now, he surely won't then. One of the many reasons I am no longer married, I felt like the cook, maid, etc. not someone he truly cared about. Rant over!!!! |

I could replace it with this naked, tattoo pic. Only if you replace it with a picture of our Adam licking something.  I was going to look for one as a reply to the complaints about Miley licking stuff. ETA: Here's one:  |

I think that there is no possibility that by any standard "Freddie was not a good singer" -- certainly not before he had vocal and health issues which started in 1980. That is the statement that I questioned.
****
I prefer Adam's singing to Freddie, but that does not make Freddie "not a good singer".
ETA: on most Queen songs. There are songs songs that were written by Freddie that depended on his strong lower register -- most Adam has never sung publicly. It is a big catalog.
And I can prefer Adam as a singer, and still appreciate many other singers. I am not monogamous.

A @jam2885 7m He actually have more scenes with kurt, santana and dani and theres a reason for this! Idk about the enemy … ln.is/tmblr.co/HUANFrom the web link: So does Adam Lamberts character have anything to do with Kurt like Chris said about a possible "nemesis"? Is he more connected with Kurt's story than any other character or did they do a complete 180 and connect his story with someone like Rachel or Santana? He actually have more scenes with kurt, santana and dani and theres a reason for this! Idk about the enemy part but his character is pretty cool i think ppl will like it! |

Interesting conversations ... thanks Q3 and all mods for making it possible... The industry niche where Madonna, Katy Perry , Gaga, Pink,Miley and even Adam are all bundled in.. seems to be so thick with aspirants to be superstars .. probably why the need to stand out .. and its getting more outrageous ... Adele has made her own brand , her own niche. She succeeded. I hope Adam can create his own . Though , it looks like he has his own master plan. I guess I just have to sit back and watch it unfold.
