Let me quote Madonna, a woman who between 1983-2006 (R.I.P. her talent) was definitely more talented than any man on the planet.

Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl

There's no question.

So is GodGa, one of the biggest visionaries and talents we've seen in pop music in the past decade.

Some of the biggest properties of the last 15 years (Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, Gone Girl, Divergent, 50 Shades, etc) were created by women.

And of course Rowling had to publish HP as gender-neutral JK Rowling to even get started. Queen opening doors for all the other fantasy or sci-fi female authors in that list.

I will PM you. I don't need the uglies having access to my social media accounts. The last time someone found out it resulted in a stalker.

Where are her and her "talents" and "visions" at now?

to be fair to Cap10, his point about men being 100% behind all these pop females' images are right.

No ****. But WHY is it right? Because the mainstream music business is all about profit and money.

Male privilege has allowed men to be in charge and at the helm of all these huge record labels.

I don't understand how anyone who can openly admit the bias against black artists not getting the international and overall success they deserve PRIMARILY due to race could also be the same person to deny that females are not disadvantaged, too.

Shakira is easily more talented than Bruno. Her most recent releases may not show it, but up through OF1/2 she was an incredible songwriter. All her Spanish albums (besides Sale El Sol) are such classics.

[Sinister]

Bruno can play the drums, guitar, piano, produce, write and sang

oh...and he can do a split...def more talented

You can't say GodGa isn't a visionary still. She may be messy, incoherent, annoying, sloppy and directionless now but she still has a big vision and does more and takes more risks than all of these men.

I agree with you.

In honor of your posts, I'll listen to Cheek 2 Cheek. A TRUE example of female talent.

Than who?

If you mean Shakira, she can sing, dance, produce, write, play multiple instruments, fluently speak/write music in 3-4 languages, etc. All while devoting her free time to building schools around South America AND landing Piqué. Can't be beat

I agree that her musical output was better, but that doesn't mean now that all of the talent and vision she had mysteriously disappeared

It's like claiming Prince or MJ were talentless because they released crappy albums and made stupid decisions (especially Prince) sometimes

[NOW]

Being a female in a male-dominated entertainment industry is very tough. They can make or break you tbh, and it's almost never the other way around.

[Cap10Planet]

Females are NOT at a disadvantage in this day and age, at least not pop females. They are given more credit than the guys who have made their careers.
