Were Mick Jagger & Prince wearing meat to red carpets? Is it fair to compare her to some of the most hailed artists of all time? Is someone like Flavour Flav ever hailed for being a musical prodigy or is it just mostly about his antics? You criticize him for false equivalences and you come up with all that? Lmao.

Because male artists like Riff Raff, Flavour Flav (who is actually a musical prodigy) and even Prince circa the name change never got shit for not really being artists because their antics. Do you people just make up statements that appeal to this echo chamber without actually attempting to think about it?

Oh god, get over yourself. People are being assassinated by drones and raped by police and shit. Get your bullshit into perspective here.

oh you could so be me :)

and as time goes on I keep waiting for all of that ‘talent’ people keep crowing about. She is a popstar, that’s about all I see, unless cozying up to Tony Bennett is supposed to be some kind of edgy thing. and I have yet to hear her have any more wisdom than anyone else frankly.

She says she just wanted to be taken seriously and yet her persona is based around flashiness and wacky costumes

Blah blah blah, there are many women in the music business. And several are successful despite wearing clothes while they perform.

It’s always the people who’ve benefitted from the sexist system that always seem to give you that defensive pushback (“Oh. No, I succeeded just with talent! Sexism never benefits me!). I think that’s what you’ve stumbled across here with that commenter.

What I really want to say is that it is really hard sometimes for women in music. It’s like a fucking boys club that we just can’t get into.
