Well, while I unfortunately have to agree with you about what would happen if you put 10 kilos on and went to a record company (though to me, 10 kilos doesnt sound like much, I think you women are a little paranoid about weight, so it seems like a lot more to you when in fact its not, but im digressing!)
Ive never watched Rage or Video hits and said that the woman was "too fat" or whatever, and Id doubt most of the guys on this board would have either, (to be honest, I dont really care what they look like when it comes to music, I mean if Iced Earth looked like a bunch of rejects from the mardi gras floats, Id still love their music
)
I think the problem is the perception is that you have to be thin/attractive to be famous, but its only the *record companies* perception. I have no doubt if they actually spent less time trying to find women with the right "look" and just went on talent, there would be many more female performers out there, and they would get a HELL of a lot more respect than Destinys Child and co.
Unfortunately, seeing as we dont live in a perfect world, that wont happen, because there are always plenty of women who seem quite happy to have themselves known for what they wear and their new hairstyles rather than their music, which only perpetuates the stereotype and makes it harder for the women who are doing it for their love of music and nothing else.
Hmmm bit long that post......In summary, Destinys Child and their bootylicious friends STILL suck
Oh my god, guess what clip just came on Video Hits????? ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I want to scream and kick my tv in, I hate these women more with every passing moment.........im going to put on some Iron Maiden
But when you say "im a programmer" they immediately assume you have heaps of money (you dont need to mention thats not the case if its not) and so you must have women swinging of chandeliers to get your attention!
