Lady Gaga: single and celibate

[holidayroad]

I think Lady Gaga is okay. I'm not a fan but I can tolerate her songs more than I can some by other new artists.I guess the real question to me is when did it happen that women musicians had to look like(and act like) porn centerfolds to become 'famous'?
I know a lot of people will say this started with Madonna, but what is in the videos of Britney, Gaga, Rihanna, well, that's a different ballgame! On the off chance that I happen to watch MTV or VH-1, when there might happen to be an actual music video on, all the videos with women are sleazy. Yet the videos with men are nothing like that. Maybe I am too old to get why this is important to being a musician (I'm 35). If the record companies are making them dress like this to stay on the label, I don't know what to say.........
