Female Musicians From Past Decades And This Decade

By Marylou Forbes


There have been female singers for as far back as anyone can remember. Things have changed quite a bit since the times when women like June Carter Cash was singing. Female musicians today are more like performers than singers. The spend most of their time on stage shaking their butts instead of 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.

When these young girls that call themselves singers or musicians get on stage and shake their breast and butts all over the place to get attention it is just degrading. You might think I just do not get the new dances but I am not so old that I don't get the new dance crazes. You can do these dance without looking like a stripper.

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 the days when a singer would walk out on stage wearing respectable clothes and sing a song with a wonderful voice? Some of the stars that did just that were Dolly Parton, Carly Simon, Stevie Nicks, and Aretha Franklin and they did it with dignity and clothes on.

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.

These female singers don't have to act this way to get attention. They are famous because someone realized they had a great voice and so they signed them. These women can win over their fans with just their voice they don't have to strip down to their underwear and dance so vulgarly that I wouldn't want my child watching. I understand that dances these days are a bit dirty but they take it a bit too far. The parents of these singers must be so humiliated I know I would be.
