It seems anytime we see a female singer on TV she is scantily clad. Why is it that these woman feel the need to wear provocative outfits and behave inappropriately on stage and in videos? It seems it's becoming more difficult for woman to be a star on pure talent alone.
I think there are female singers who don't behave that way, they just don't get as much attention. We reward female singers with money and publicity for showing bad behavior. As the saying goes, "Any publicity is good publicity". Good behavior isn't newsworthy and so it doesn't get attention. As a result, woman (and men, to a lesser degree) need to keep moving the line to even more inappropriate acts.
There is, perhaps, no better example of this than Brittney Spears. Several years ago she was going through a serious emotional turmoil, and she was in the media constantly. No sooner she sought the treatment she needed, she got no more attention at all.
There are success stories, though. Taylor Swift, the biggest star in recent years, wore modest outfits and showed class and was still able to climb to the top. It shows that woman with talent and hard work can still find their dream without selling their bodies and souls. Unfortunately, most woman are not able to find that success without exploiting themselves. Woman will continue to flaunt their sexuality for publicity, and media will continue to provide them publicity and fame.
