You're not like a bird anymore

I have lost all respect for Nelly Furtado. I'm not saying that I was ever a huge fan of hers, but the most recent stuff she has come out with has left me shaking my head. She used to sing about respecting oneself and being proud of who you are. Her videos showed her fully clothed and were positive. Suddenly she came out with her hip hop/rap junk and began dancing and gyrating like every other x-rated hip hop star out there. She lost all uniqueness, and she turned her back on all of the positive messages she had previously put out there.
It is sad and frustrating. Why does everyone and everything that is "popular" and "cool" have to be so sexually oriented, and why can't people respect those who try to be not sex-crazy?
It is almost depressing.

It is depressing indeed.
When once anything near-eros was discovered to grab the lowest-denominator of society's attention..it was used to sell.. as you may have noticed.

And the `pure`..or rather, less-than-xxxplicit people trying to make it in a business that flies in the face of God and any kind of humane decency.. will have learned that to make the big bucks, you have to play ball with the sleazoids that run the joint.. or give up your dreams and do something else..

Little solace.. no consolation.. rarely is truth ever such things.
