Women singers singing in their knickers.

I admit I'm older generation.
I'm a great admirer of singers such as Nina Simone, Linda Ronstadt, Suzi Quatro, Christine Perfect, Joan Baez, Tracy Chapman etc, etc.
They all not only have great voices but also real musical talent.
And they also don't stand and sing in their knickers
So what is it with people like Beyonce and Rhianna? If they really are talented why do they need to sing in their knickers? Why do they need to use sex to sell their songs? They are powerful enough not to bend to the industry pressure on them. Why not stand or fall on their talents rather than on selling their sexuality.?

I love when women express their sexuality 😭

But agree that sex sells

But there's also a growing movement of female singers who hate the ones showing off their bodies, maybe you'll like them? 😄

Suzi Quattro used to wear skin tight black leather top and bottoms and a deep plunge neckline with a vast cleavage.

To make more money.

Both Rihanna and Beyoncé are very rich.
