I think it was the times that constrained them. Moreover, Berry Gordy carefully crafted their image and dressed them up in beautiful clothing to make them appeal to the white market as classy as opposed to Britany Spears half naked, which was done to appeal to the current market.
But, if you look into their history, esp. Ms. Ross, it was hardly what one would term as classy
The difference is there was not internet, 24 news, or stalking paparazzi then. Imagine if the press continuously showed lots of different footage of Florence Ballard fat, drunk, and passed out in public. She'd look alot like Spears
In the end, no one is perfect and if any of us were 16, sitting on $80 million, and hounded by the press, we'd be portrayed in that light as well. I mean imagine if someone followed you around 24/7 in college, edited that footage in the most unfavorable light, and then made it so everyone in the world could see it over and over again for months on end. Anyone other than a nun would look likely just as trashy as Spears
Just something to think about. I mean clearly Spears went crazier than hog on a hot day, but haven't we all done that to some degree in private?
Thus, I cut her some slack.
Note - I am no huge fan of her's.
