Adele has also said she has no interest in losing weight because she's content with how she is.

I agree with you because she still isn't the industry's idea of a sexy woman, but she said that when she looked like this:



Now:




There's definitely a degree of conforming there .

I like how the media is always using the term role model for the women. The male artist never get questioned as much about being a good role model like the girls do.

Yeah. Why did will not come for Bruno and the weed arrest thing. The only one getting flack is Chris Brown and he went from 0-100 on the bad scale. I do hope he sorts out his anger issues.

Right?

I agree in a way, but she lost weight due to her surgery, and it was very natural I think. She didn't intentionally slim down. She still has quite a midriff. But that's photoshop. Without makeup, she doesn't look like that. Very pale. The photoshop needs to stop.

When have young pop stars ever been great role models? Almost every pop star in recent years has been criticized or deem controversial.

The point is there are some fans who look up to their favorite musicians. They try to emulate their style and ideals because they figure 'this person is great, everything else they do must be great too.' It isn't abnormal to idolize pop stars, especially when you are younger. Pop stars like Rihanna typically are aimed at a younger audience, which is the whole entire point of Young's statement. So your post is redundant. By the end of the day, there are people who look towards their favorite pop stars for inspiration. It isn't about ow self-esteem. People can't control who they look up to. This is why some Rihanna fans were disappointed when she worked with Chris.

Now I've written an essay. I am not happy.

Yeah, she should stay fat and endanger her health just so it looks like she's not conforming.

Well he couldn't really write a list in the middle of an interview.

Really. You don't even know these people. It's one thing to appreciate their art, but to hold them in such high regard isn't sensible.

Its always a "Rihanna isn't a good role model thread"? The media paints todays kids as brain dead monkeys for some apparent reason. Growing up I never looked up to celebrities to do anything. Learning right from wrong and decision making should be done at home not on the internet or on TV.

The article says he praised Adele, but I don't see a quote. All I see are GaGa, Annie Lennox and Grace Jones.

I think this is where your post went astray. Anyone who was raised by a parent who taught them right from wrong is more than capable of choosing who they look up to.

You might not have, but most people do have role models. Of course its not right but the fact is today kids are getting pregnant and doing drugs before their 15th birthday, it's only natural popstars would be 'to blame'.

IDK how rihanna is a hypocrite because she tried to be a good example to young girls over a serious issue, and then decided that she doesn't wanna do that anymore. Is there some sort of rule or oath she made, which obligates her to be a role model when people demand it from her? Yes she did the role model thing before but times change. She obviously doesn't wanna do that anymore. I don't understand the significance of saying OH BUT SHE WAS A ROLE MODEL BEFORE HYPOCRITE!!1! She changed her mind, people and situations change . She has a right to decide what sort of person she wants to be and she definitely doesn't have an obligation to explain it to anyone or apologise for it.

Rihanna is 24 and doesn't have a kid. So I think you might be talking about MTV airing shows like Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant. Them should be the ones to point the finger at. Not Rih.

But not everyone sees the wrong in people they admire, unless it blatantly goes against their beliefs. Rihanna is exposed well enough for people to look up to her.

Sis, if you're not going to type up a reasonable argument instead of chiming in with a half-ass shady comment, just sit back.

I said "it's not right", thats just the way it is.

"You can sexualize yourself in an empowering way," Will said. "Adele doesn't sexualize herself yet she's very open about her heartache."

BTW I totally agree that sexualizing yourself can be empowering (like how Madonna did it) vs, say, how Kim Kardashian does it (very extreme example obv).
