The Difference Between Female Musicians From This Decade And Past Decades

By Marylou Forbes


Female singers have been around for hundreds of years. There have been many changes since the time of June Carter Cash. Female musicians these days are mostly just performing instead of singing. These female singers spend their time on stage shaking their derriere more than they do actually singing.

Don't get me wrong not all of these female singers act this way. You have singers like Taylor Swift that has a tremendous voice and also has class and grace. Carrie Underwood is another female singer that can belt out a song like no other and doesn't have to show her body off to get attention because her voice is all she needs to get attention.

These girls that get up on stage half dressed shaking their butt and breast are only doing it to get attention. Now you may think that I am an old person that just doesn't get the new dances. I'm not old and I do understand the dances. You can do these new dances without looking like a prostitute.

I am a little old fashioned when it comes to clothing. I don't think that a woman should go out in front of hundreds or even thousands of fans wearing nothing but a bikini top and a pair of shorts that show more than it should. I don't think you should even walk out of your house wearing those things unless you plan to go to a pool or a beach.

I have tried for most of this article to avoid the Miley Cyrus topic but I just can not avoid it any longer. That girl has got a wonderful voice, great songs, and from what I can tell a great personality. So why is she degrading herself on stage and off with her antics and her clothes?

What happened to simply going on stage dressed appropriately and singing a good song with a great voice. You do not have to have trashy dancing and even trashier clothes to be seen. Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks and Carly Simon all did it without being trashy and became quite famous because of it.

These women didn't do vulgar dance moves and they wore clothes that didn't reveal too much. These female singers today have voices just as great as the older generation but you just don't realize it since all you can concentrate on is what they are wearing or not wearing in most cases. You are also distracted from their voices by the vulgar dance moves they do in their routines. Every decade the clothes get just a little more skimpy and the dances get a little more vulgar.

It doesn't have to be that way. If you are a famous singer you got signed because you have a wonderful voice so why not use that voice to win over fans instead of stripping down to barely nothing and simulating sex on stage. I get that most dances these days are a bit nasty for lack of a better word but you can do the popular dances without degrading yourself and your parents. What must these parents be thinking of their little girls up on stage showing off all of their body and shaking parts of their body that shouldn't be shook in public?
