Last week Video Hits had a special set of clips- 'women in music', their picks were dubious. Shakira rolling around in mud talking about her breasts is not my idea of a strong female in music. Women do not have to be your typical sexual objects to be successful in music! Maybe you can be hot and smart? Sure, I know Shakira and alike have done well for themselves but I think Video Hits could have done better....
like these strong, independent women:
Amanda Palmer with 'Leeds United'
They did throw in 'Good Fortune' by Pj Harvey, which was a pleasant surprise. Here is 'Man-size'
Feist 'I Feel it all'
Cat Power 'Crying, Waiting, Hoping'
The Beautiful Aussie, Sarah Blasko 'Always On This Line'
MIA 'Sunshowers'
Bat For Lashes 'Moon and Moon'
One of my old faves, the very cool and clever, Annie Lennox
That should be more than enough to prove my point....
