Why is Gwen Stefani being lumped into this category? They are probably more afraid of her cursing, shouting and “jumping” because that’s what she does at her shows. Besides, she is simply being alittle sexy sometimes (nowhere near risque), and it’s simply a matter of clashing cultures.

Makes you wonder if anyone would raise an eyebrow had Madonna (been 30 now and..) released her “Erotica” album today and her “Sex” book as well?

Maybe in some 50 years from now, the line between pornstar and popstar will be completely gone?

*** Now available! The Dirrty Dildo™ available everywhere, endorsed and used (as seen in her very own porn movie: “F*ck! I’m an Arrtist”) by Christina Aguilera. Or buy the Deluxe Dirrty Dildo™ and get a free copy of her 2056 hit single “I Sit on Things, Boo-doo” ***

Janis can stop frowning, because Christina can SING.

Where are Wendy & The Plasmatics when the world needs them?

I have seen the Christina concert and it is far from risque, the performance with the male fan has a burlesque feel, but is not raunchy or dirty in any way. There is way too much censorship anyways, if people are not interested in seeing this type of display, then just don’t pay to go to the concerts or buy the cds.

These are performers for KIDS, that’s why these groups are upset. Who over 20 would go to these shows???

If you like female eye candy pretending to sing under the cover of risque entertainment, Christina, Britney, Gwen and all the other scantily-clad mouseketeer wannabes are right up your alley. Personally, i could go to a strip club and be more satisfied with less of a drain on my wallet. If you want female music with some depth, listen to Joss Stone, who is as close in spirit to Janis Joplin and Grace Slick without all the drug abuse. I’m sure there are other talented female singers out there, her name came to mind first.

Christina in spite of her fantastic voice jumpstarted as a puppet. Gwen, kept it real then the dollar took over, and Justin can hold his penis.. oh he’s so Michael Jackson!

brian, you’re a clown. What’s wrong with “the male heterosexual fantasy” - you say it like it’s something evil and perverted.

And re: how male singers dress - nobody wants to see them in s&m gear or whatever. It’s not a double standard, it’s the difference between the sexes. Gender is not a social construct, even if your women’s studies class says so.

religious differences thats all!
and gwen stefani’s respecting it

I just think Gwen and Christina have been too heavily influenced by the sleaze factor. The sleaze factor, rather than being sexy, is essentially a surrender to the male heterosexual fantasy. It comes across as grubby rather than empowering to women.
Also, note how Justin Timberlake and all the other male performers don’t walk around on stage with short shorts or bondage and discipliine costumes. Unless it’s part of an overall theatrical presentation (as in the case of Marilyn Manson), the men basically stick to conservative shirt and ties or T-shirts.
There’s definitely a double standard in how female performers are presenting themselves in comparison to male performers.

muslims are allowed to go to concerts? concerts where a female is singing?

Oh my god, it’s been more than 10 years since Marilyn Manson started to claim that he was the antichrist, and now Xtina Aguilera (puaj) is acting like a s&m fan and you’re like WOWWWWWW WHAT A SHOCK!
Come on, grow up.

Gwen’s not tasteless at all, this is only a matter of religional differences.

RICHARD: ALL PERFORMERS are WHORES! Whether they be actors,comedians, monkeys,male,female,whites,bla cks,gangsta rappers, or Christian musicians, all of them are whores. That’s show business. It’s practically impossible to be a performer with being one. And the one’s who you think aren’t…Yep, they’re whores too! Phantom

gwen stefani isnt even as bad as compared to christina or britney

Why is this even a fucking discussion!

Christina, Gwen etc, etc are tame to what Madonna did back in the 90’s. You don’t see either of them masturbating on a bed or hitchiking naked. Why all these young pop tarts want to be like Madonna baffles me. All they’re doing is emulating a rich slut.

that’s what happens when your fan base is 11 year olds who aren’t old enought to understand…

plus it does serve them right for being whores. And even if they aren’t actually whores…they ARE selling themselves as whores.

I have no idea why people are surprised about his (except, I guess they are Aussies)

Sex sells.

MMmmm…I love it when girls “jump, shout and throw objects”. What sluts!
