Pretty vs. The World

 Apparently, on Sunday nights on Kiis fm the host picks up-and-coming artists to interview and discuss what is coming up next for them. Tonight, an "artist" I had never heard of was the spotlight. I think her name was Eve. The host played her newest single called "Put Your Body on Mine" (I know, just by the name you are probably disgusted). Seriously? Put your body on mine? This is why there is a song called "Where is the Love." Where is the love? Show some Respect.  I was baffled not that this song was on the radio, but that a young woman was singing it. She was literally degrading her own kind. I get it that rappers constantly feel the need to rap about getting with sexy girls and whatever. But this definitely made me mad. The song wasn't even original or catchy, it literally just said "put your body on mine" like one hundred times, over and over! There are so many better female musicians that crush her talent yet go unnoticed. That song doubled my respect for Ingrid, Lenka, and especially Lady Gaga (okay she is out there, but this is below her. She speaks what she loves and believes in. none of this garbage.) Why have we come to this? Where women need to degrade themselves to get attention. This is dorky, but where are Joan of Arc and Moulin when you need them. Where is Ester and Amelia Earhardt and Princess Diana? They would not condone this "loss of pretty." Too many people now feel the need to act a certain way to get attention. Instead of the idea that beauty comes from an inner purity and an outward light about someone, today it comes from  gaudy pieces of fabric passed off as dresses and acting unlady-like. I'm calling for a return to the loveliness which only comes from good manners, modest dress, and above all, class. Class is my favorite. Much like grace, class is a quality that is only obtained if constantly strived for. Why must so many change who they are and what they stand for in order to get attention. I think now, one would receive more attention for acting classy rather than trashy.
