Cheryl spills tea about gender in the MUSIC BIZ
Quote:
She has never been one to mince her words, and today she is particularly meaty about the music industry. Despite her success, she says there is “a lot of fighting for what you want”, and has met numerous “arseholes, both men and women, sadly”. She mentions moving from Newcastle to London aged 19, “and it was a really difficult transition to go through. Coming in to this industry and being an object. An ornament. You’re not a person any more. They forget you’ve got feelings. I really struggled with that adjustment.”
Ballsy, barely clothed women now dominate the charts, but is it still really a man’s world, I wonder? “Yeah,”she nods, “because the music industry is dominated by men behind the scenes. And older men, too. You shouldn’t have to… I mean, sexy and all that is great to an extent, but you shouldn’t have to sexualise yourself to be selling music.” Does she question whether performing barely clothed is actually empowering? “I don’t know what’s happened.”The tousled hair shakes from side to side. “I’m sure some women are naturally like that. They objectify themselves because they want to be like that.” Pause.
“Which is fine. No judgment at all. But sometimes it’s just unnecessary. If you’re dressing sexy, there’s a way to do it. If you are going to be explicit with your lyrics, dress differently. It’s a bit much at the moment, I feel. And I get women who say, 'Why should men objectify me? Why can’t I go naked?’ Yeah. Do whatever you want. I just feel some of it is insincere, which is a little bit sad.”
Is it better for women now than it was when she started? “No. I think it’s kind of the same, if not worse.” She is not moaning, just telling it like it is. “The majority of it [the business] is men.” She goes quiet for a moment as she thinks. “The music industry is f—ed to be honest with you. With streaming and the internet, and you can buy singles now instead of an album, a body of work. It’s a different world to the one it was 13 years ago.”

It's hard to figure out who's really to blame for the messiness of her last two eras so I'll keep it cute and wait for album five.

What's insincere is her going her whole career dressing sexy and shaking her ass then suddenly shading women who dress sexy to sell when she starts to flop. Bye.

No one is forcing her to sexualise herself, if people CHOOSE to do that to get where they want, that is their choice. I'm just waiting on the SJW to come about saying about women s rights.

Her label has been atrocious to her but I think a part of that comes from the lack of radio support for her latest single by the big two radio stations. Unfortunately, Capital FM has the power to make or break you in the UK.

I also think it has to do with her management...the one she used to have at the beggining(the same one she had with GA) was way better. Ugh, this makes me so mad. And she's over 30 now, it'll only start to get harder to get airplay from now on.

No it's not. Read it a few more times, particularly the last sentence.
