Sinéad O'Connor écrit une lettre ouverte à Miley Cyrus. The Problem With All These Half-Naked Pop Stars. Sinéad O'Connor's open letter to Miley Cyrus. Dear Miley, I wasn't going to write this letter, but today i've been dodging phone calls from various newspapers who wished me to remark upon your having said in Rolling Stone your Wrecking Ball video was designed to be similar to the one for Nothing Compares … So this is what I need to say … And it is said in the spirit of motherliness and with love.
I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos. It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether its the music business or yourself doing the pimping. The music business doesn't give a shit about you, or any of us. None of the men ogling you give a shit about you either, do not be fooled. Yes, I'm suggesting you don't care for yourself. You are worth more than your body or your sexual appeal. As posted on www.sineadoconnor.com. Sinead vs Miley round 3: “You are a danger to women” Fri 4th Oct, 2013 in Local News UPDATE 4/10, 5pm: Sinead O’Connor has written a third “open letter” to Cyrus on her Facebook page, asking for a public apology to herself and Amanda Bynes and threatening legal action if she fails to do so.
Here’s O’Connor’s third open letter: Sinead O’Connor has written a second open letter to Miley Cyrus – and this one is certainly not in the spirit of “motherliness and with love”. She’s taken particular exception to Cyrus’ response to her original open letter, in which she warned about “the dangers of letting the “music business make a prostitute of you”. But Cyrus wasn’t having a bar of it, tweeting a screengrab of O’Connor’s breakdown on Twitter last year, and likening the Irish singer to troubled actor Amanda Bynes.
“Ms Cyrus has today posted tweets of mine which are two years old and which were sent when I was ill and seeking medical help,” O’Connor posted on Facebook. Here’s O’Connor’s second open letter: I'm Charlotte Church. And This Is How Women Are Routinely Demoralized by the Music Industry... The following speech was delivered at BBC 6 Music’s annual John Peel Lecture by Charlotte Church, who entered the music industry as a young teenager. Roughly 15 years later, her perspectives on the business have changed dramatically. “Thank you for coming to my lecture this evening. I’d like you to imagine a world in which male musicians are routinely expected to act as submissive sex objects.
Picture Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z stripped down to a T-back bikini thong, sex kittin’ his way through a boulevard of suited-and-booted women for their pleasure. Or Britney Spears’ ex, Justin Timberlake, in buttocks-clenching hot pants writhing on top of a pink Chevy, explaining to an audience how he’d like to be their ‘Teenage Dream’. Before we all get a little too hot beneath the gusset, of course these scenarios are not likely to become reality, unless for comedy’s sake. The reason for this is that these are roles the music industry has carved out specifically for women. [audience laughter] Le métal symphonique: un monde de belles et de bêtes? There Ain't No Blurred Lines With These Teens' Views On Robin Thicke's Controversial Song.
Blurred Lines Parody - Lame Lines. Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines [Feminist Parody] "Defined Lines" Law Revue – Defined Lines ("Blurred Lines" Parody) Lyrics. News | ‘Blurred Lines’ song banned by Union | LS. Leeds University Union has taken the decision to ban the song “Blurred Lines” from its bars and clubs. The move follows the decision from Edinburgh University’s Student Union to ban the Robin Thicke song earlier this month.
The Union’s Education office, Alice Smart, told LS: “I’m proud that we’ve taken the decision to stop playing ‘Blurred Lines’ in our bars and clubs because the song undermines real and dangerous issues around consent. Just because the song has been commercially successful doesn’t mean we have to play it knowing that it offends a high proportion of our students.” The move has proven controversial with some students taking to the social network to question whether other songs would be banned. Others were more supportive of the move. One third year English student told us: “I think that banning it on campus informs students that Leeds is a place that aims to do the exact opposite of “blurring lines” where sexism is involved.
