what is with disgusting 'pop stars'

Another sad side effect of the whole situation is watching those who do have real talent turn into sleazy skanks in order to compete with the ones who don't. Christina Aguilera trying to keep up with Brittany Spears was a prime example.

As someone as undoubtedly mentioned already, sex sells.
Jennifer Lopez probably needed some extra cash, the advertising on her vevo alone would have racked up over $100k profit in the last couple of days.

This stuff is fine.

Because of carnal desires, wiggly asses sell.

This Minaj is doing the same thing most do to make money, she just does it in a business that demands more exposure.

Most make sacrifices to our passions when it comes to carerra. I doubt when asked as a child she said she wanted to wiggle her ample ass when she got older.

She has ASSets (yes) that are in demand right now and decided she could live with such demands for the obscene benefits.

She is not a porn star. She's only one step up though because society is conditioned to accept more and more debauchery as life moves on.

You aren't her target audience, dont like, dont watch. Censorship really is the only way for your kids I'm afraid although they'll see it all at school anyway.

I don't understand why sloppy fat butts are something that people want.
I mean ... no class and gross.
The trashiest sloppy fat butt ... Kim Kardashian.
And yes, the niki minaj anaconda crap was really bad.
These people prove that the movie Idiocracy is unfolding before us in real life.

These big fat butts seem to be the rage. I don't get it.
I also don't get why it's always females being used. Why not have men rubbing up against each other, practically naked all greased up ??!! When?



I think Cher was the first female I know of who dressed slutty. It was quite shocking at the time. When she was older, not in her sonny & Cher days. This can only be a sign it will get worse.

Sex sells, always has.

OP: As for all the increasing sexualisation of entertainment such as music you might find this interview and book interesting. I have not yet read the book myself but plan to.

minaj's video is not much different than the video:
- Destination Calabria - Alex Gaudino Feat. Christal Waters

which has over 25million views.

it all comes down to director and artist's vision.

DAMN KIDS AND THEIR ROCK MUSIC, BUBBLE GUM AND HU-LEE-HOOPS!!!
There has ALWAYS been the shock value in rock (pop in this case) granted I will take Wendy O'Williams and her g-sting and electrical tape...but whatever. To this point I haven't watched the anaconda video, it has popped up in front of me and I have heard people talking about it. I know I won't get it as I really dislike her.

i dont think its the same. wendy o(and lots of others) did their fair share of shock value crap. the difference is today that stuff is piped in everywhere. it is way more mainstream. theyre on the covers of magazines. heavy rotation on music channels. theyre in the magazines. theyre endorsing products. they are judging tv shows.

if you wanted to listen to wendy o back in the day you kind of had to look. she wasnt everywhere.

wendy o didnt play the vma's and then next month be on the cover of a magazine in her pasty and then be featured on the front page of the new york times(think featured vid on youtube) and then judge a mainstream tv show.

way different.

sure, there were impressionable girls who tried to act like wendy o. these days we have young ladies twerking by the millions and then sharing those vids with others...

way, way, way different.

Our society is progressing thus we are "evolving".

Can't wait for my daughter to start twerking in clubs.

Truely beautiful examples we have in todays society.

At least we can show our children what not to be.

OMG

Without a doubt one of the most despicable, disgraceful, and hilarious things I have ever seen.

I have got absolutely no words for that.

PARENTING 101- Dont let your child rap about Booty on video, and for an audience, until at least 7, maybe 8.

Unreal

Hahaha, reminded of this video, obviously making a mockery of these plastic pop stars.

Good band btw

(video link deleted)

The hell was THAT?

Last time I heard human beings make noises like that, they were being run through with makeshift spear-like objects.

You really ought to have posted a warning for folks with PTSD not to click on that.

I mean, yeah, its not nice and puts a bad image against women.....but I mean, guys will be guys, and JLO and Nicki Minaj are hot. Theyve got big asses and titties, and no teenager is gona say "boy, that woman is putting a bad name for women...."

I think its bad that theyre doing this......btu at the same time, theyre hot, and i like it

The ladies of pop use their bodies to sell their music. Gone are the days of good singers that don't look good or have a big booty. This twerking phenomenon has got to stop.

I can't believe you used the words "big booty" and "look good" in the same sentence, as if they had some sort of correlation. I can't find anything about a "big booty" that "looks good". If I thought it did, I'd go live among the Hottentots, who invented steatopygia, and seem to have it trademarked.

"Big booty" and "twerking" are merely objects of a subculture that has been assaulting the planet for the last 20 years or so, trying to acculturate the entire planet to the standards of that subculture. Some of it will get assimilated, but most of it will pass with the next assault from the next subculture.

Some of them fight harder than others, and so last longer. The "skater" subculture was a mere flash in the pan, and the "disco" subculture, while lasting a bit longer, also met with a relatively quick demise. This current subculture assault will also end, in time, when the next comes along and steamrolls over IT.

I shudder to think what the next may be.

I wonder why I never have an empty star next to my posts like everyone else does no matter what subject I post at. Even after several hours, others after me have a place where folks can star them but I never see a star. Boo Hoo. Nobody wuves me, guess i'll go eat a can of worms or something. LOL

None of us have the "empty" star on our own posts on our own accounts - you can't "star" yourself, so there isn't any need for one. Don't worry, we still wuv you - are you gonna eat ALL those worms?

You'd hit dat mess?

Seriously?

Where's your pride, man!

That's kinda sad - and a sad commentary on current society.

Hell, if I couldn't do any better than that, I'd just go fishing. I've been married 4 times, and every one of them had both those girls (they ARE girls, aren't they?) beat hollow.
