I hate it when feminists complain about objectification. Women ARE sex objects. Just because they're sex objects doesn't mean they can't be people too. What do they want exactly, that I care about the personal life of a hooker or stripper? Insane.

Never heard of her. Did some research.

Her last album was heavily-hyped, yet she was in and out of the UK Charts in one week, at 85.

She didn't crack the Billboard top 200, and only moved 12,000 copies of the album in the US over a year. Sales that dismal would have gotten you dropped from an indie label in the 80's, but she's on Atlantic - a major - and they'd be demanding a return in their financial investment.

They've decided she will be famous, and so she will be, which means selling 'female empowerment' and 'self-love' to narcissistic young women.

Carefully-focused cross-promotional placement of her last single in a hysterical weepy cancer movie that targeted the lucrative and easily-exploitable teen girl crowd has given her a hit, so she will bleat whatever the marketing tells her will make dumb girls give her their money. Expect to see more advertising tie-ins and synergy.

As usual, there are a bunch of expensive (and minimised-in-the-press) mainstream male producers and writers behind her, like Patrik Berger and Ariel Rechtshaid, (since anyone selling girl power rarely seems to involve any female producers and musicians in the process of their own music).

If it was the 80's, they would have farmed her song-writing out to Dianne Warren and Billy Steinberg / Tom Kelly. She'd change a word, get a third of the publishing. She's therefore as empowered and culturally-relevant as, say, Laura Brannigan.

She's currently best-known (in the UK at least) for her part on Iggy Azalea's Fancy.

Other than that, I found her music utterly forgettable.

Sigh... nobody is "sexy for herself". The whole idea of being sexy is to attract a high-value mate.

Delusional bitches be delusional. They're doing nothing but fooling themselves with their own tired rhetoric.

They will get the men they deserve.

Who would you rather fuck?

Implants or not, Iggy's phat ass gets the nod from me.

[britchard]

Nobody tries to be "sexy for themself". This includes girls and guys, do you think the only reason people go to the gym is to improve their self esteem? Some might, but it's not the only reason. She's a shite singer too.

[Haig]

I'll guarantee that it was her manager's decision for her to say this.

sometimes people forget that in the pop/music industry you say what your manager/handler wants you to say or you'll be out on your backside and replaced by a younger prettier "model".

I quite like Iggy, until she starts rapping.

A female Vanilla Ice, but hasn't been called out on her 'tough upbringing' bullshit yet.

[bojangles]

I tweeted once that Iggy Azalea wants to be black, I still believe that.

On Charli XCX, shes just doing what her management tells her as she is a flop.

[RexImperator]

"White girl rap" has really become a big thing in pop music over the last few years.

[Tommy Eyes]

"Fancy" is definitely my guilty pleasure song of the year. Perhaps even the decade. While Rome burns, and we all sit poolside, there's nary a better anthem to say "Enjoy the Decline!"

[Old Fritz]

It's funny because all women try to look as sexy as they can. Even unconsciously. They want that attention.

[Captain Gh]

Somebody better tell that bitch to have more tities shot done in the future! Went to Google her unknown name and could only find 1 decent shot of her in a Pink tank top when she's got a nice pair! Where Brofist at to maybe unload some shots of her?

[alexdagr81]

Being sexy for yourself makes it seem like you don't have a good concept of self.

[Texas_Tryhard]

I would much rather bang Charli XCX than Iggy, personally.



That trashy look slays me.

Yep, in the states she's just the hired cunt that screeches out the hook on our shite pop music.

Charlotte Emma Aitchison's new tune "Boom Clap" with her actually solo on this record, is #10 here.

   

OUCH! That's a boatload of suck.

^ 'Boom Clap' was the lead single from 'The Fault In Our Stars', the weepie cancer love movie aimed at teens and twenty-somethings who should have long grown out of that kind of thing, but whose emotional immaturity keeps them in a teenager mindset.

Any lead single paired with a movie that anticipated from that set would generate a 'hit record' high youtube views, (which supposedly is the same thing as shifting units nowdays, so counts towards chart placing).

A two-album flop artist doesn't just gain such a lucrative opportunity by accident. It's intentional design. Deals were made because the company needed a return on its investment, and they will make people consume her dreck by any means possible. This means the girl is definitely A Team Player, hence spouting PR-dictated talking points that appeal to her target market.

Let's not forget that Charli is the mind behind this gem:

Quote:

I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn.
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs.
I crashed my car into the bridge.

I don't care, I love it.

These lyrics accurately reflect the attitude of a feminist- which is that she really does not care about her actions because there are no consequences for women. Trash your ex-lover's belongings- that's not destruction of property. Crash your car- some beta will buy her another one. Your car catches on fire - men will put it out.

So it doesn't surprise me that Charli is a feminist because feminism is about girls being able to do whatever they feel like now without having to pay for it in the future.

To build on AB's point, The Fault in Our Stars does well among functional illiterates, who seem to make up a significant portion of the population.

Stuff like Hemingway, Aquinas, St. Augustine, Dickens, etc. seems to elude them. But then again, the aforementioned writers wrote books with several layers of meaning. It's much easier to read "Girl falls for guy who dies of cancer" than it is to read St. Augustine's The City of God. Although Augustine is far more interesting...

My observed stereotype of progressive Millennial English Majors: they all talk about how they want to write 'Young Adult Fiction', to the extent it's a predictable cliché. Probably the result of post-modernism: if you tear down highly-composed language in preference for declamatory statements, everyone writes at a teenage reading level.

I think the instinct must somehow be related to how single mothers try to be their children's friends rather than their parents. The peers they're seeking approval from are half their age.

Let me get this straight: Iggy Azalea is a white Aussie chick who has made a career out of pretending to be a black American chick?

I don't even pretend to understand the world anymore.

[MrXY]

The BeeGees were white Aussie men who made a huge career out of pretending to be black American chicks

Which is weirder?
