Belinda Carlisle slams female artists for sexualising their image

[Teletubby 149,663]

Singer Belinda Carlisle has criticised pop stars such as Dua Lipa for her “sexualised” performances, branding them “embarrassing”.

The musician, who rose to fame as part of the new wave band The Go-Go’s before achieving mainstream success with her solo hit “Heaven Is a Place on Earth”, disagreed that performances by “young women” in the music industry are “empowering”.
 

“These days young women in the music industry are just so sexualised. Like, what happened? I don’t get it.” Maybe it’s more of a choice for some artists these days? They see it as empowering? “It’s not empowering. It’s embarrassing.” 
“Yes, you will get attention, but not the right kind, and down the line you are going to look back and say: ‘Wish I hadn’t done that.’
I mean: Dua Lipa? It’s shocking! She’s so talented. She doesn’t need to do that.”

Oh bore off. 

Sick of these middle aged 2nd wavers continuing to force puritanism on women simply because they couldn't accept they were lesbians.

Instead of making proper music for elites, they'll be hollered at and idolised by a bunch of f*gs who will try to dress as them - a true horror

Madonna's been on the road for over 40 years now, ma'am. You're a bit late.

Belinda Carlisle literally posed for Playboy and has nude photoshoot. I'm totally against slutshaming, but girl, don't be a hypocrite.

In pop culture, everything is commodity: artistry, intellect, emotion, sexuality. To earn a living some people "sell" their artistry, some their feelings, some their sexuality. Why one thing is morally wrong while the others aren't is totally a made up thing.

Exactely. Or just because they don't have anything fresh and sexy anymore to show! She's just jealous.

she's mad at the wrong people

unfortunately, pop girls lowkey need to be sexy in order to sell whilst male artists get away with writing a sad love song performed in ripped jeans and "having talent"

pop girls have always been held to a much higher standard, that's what she should be mad about and how their appearance will always take priority over their talent

There’s been many stories over the years she’s stuck up and not very nice, just google Michelle Visage’s interaction with her, think they made up recently but she was cold and distant - https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/michelle-visage-hated-meeting-idol.html/

End of the day, she’s a one hit wonder nobody cares about anymore.

We’re also in a time period where you don’t have to repress yourself anymore.
