I love "Put a Ring On It" but was pretty dismayed when little girls began imitating her raunchy video dance moves. Not cute on a 5-year old. I don't think she's an inspirational role model for "wholesomeness" at all, even if she's a great business success, and she is.
ok time for a little rant
also Nota im NOT saying you claimed any of this so i quoted you only for a reference, this isnt directed at you
I'm just pointing out that its the parents fault not beyonce's if 5 year olds are trying to dance like her and its "raunchy", as you say, that makes the parent a moron if its happening frequently.
and something really not related to your post
I also dont understand the role model thing
maybe im just lucky and wired the right way or my parents did something brilliant, which i must also accidently be doing and i have passed on to my daughter
as a child my morals or ideas on how to live my life, right/wrong, how to treat people etc were NEVER impacted by music . . .
am i the only one?
nor as any actor, famous person, entertainer who i have liked ever impacted my morals etc.
were there famous people i found inspiring and maybe a "example" of how to do a certain specific thing, of course but if they did other things that were bad or wrong or something i didn't agree with it never made me want to do them or think it was ok etc etc
any kids that are shaped that way, the adults in thier lives have failed them
there was NOTHING i could watch, listen to, read etc that could make me stray from my upbringing, thats just stupid.
I listened to some of the worse music and watched the worse movies (stereotypically moral wise) it had ZERO impact because i had at least ONE good reality based parent/guardian in my life . . .
i was lucky enough to have many but im just saying
its just so pathetic to me that so many people pass the buck, kid gets in to a great college and they take all the credit, kid does drugs or is a criminal and all of a sudden, what music did he listen too, what movies did he watch what did he read etc etc thats all horsecrap! lol
"SOME" of my favorite music was about "drugs, **** the police, killing and sex with bitches"
today i have two degrees, im a single father with full custody and a perfectly clean police record
drugs i have participated in that are illegal? underage drank in my day and i have tired weed . . .the end
ZERO of those CHOICES came from music, movies, books, celebrities etc
ok rant over lol
I actually make make a thread about this when i have a minute
