Europe video music awards.
What does dressing like this do to the song
being performed? Its all about selling
sex with the song
What separates Beyonce from your average
stripper? This came to mind after viewing cuts
of performances by the artist in promotion of
her upcoming "I am" concert in Trinidad and
Tobago.
The concert has many even here in Barbados
thinking of attending on February 18th, as it
falls directly following Trinidad and Tobago's
carnival season which in itself attracts
thousands from throughout the region.
But Beyonce's performance's from the little cuts
I've seen, and the photos on the internet seem a
bit sleazy. I will therefore ask the question
again, what separates Beyonce's stage
performances from that of your average exotic
dancer?
Beyonce is currently the number one rhythm and
blues artist, and clearly this has not come
about only because the girl can sing. Beyonce
tends also to show a lot of flesh leaving
nothing to the imagination.
Beyonce does not therefore sell good music, and
her ability to use the stage, but she also uses
her good looks portraying it in a way your
average exotic dancer would.
What therefore separates Beyonce from your
average poll climber is therefore the fact that
she adds singing to the performance.
Would persons follow her, and the music she
produces if she doesn't go to this extent. Sure
they would because she is very talented, but she
and probably her management team believe they
must also sell sex.
The portrayal of lewdness by showing an audience body parts
which should be left for a spouse only to see, is something
the music industry continues to inundate us with in the
hopes that we will not only be encouraged to buy the
album, but also some "sex" along with it. The music industry
in clearly trying to convert us all into whoremongers.
According to the popular web encyclopaedia, Wikipedia,
modern music videos are primarily made and used as a
marketing device intended to promote the sale of music
recordings.
