Dido Comments On Sexed-Up Pop Peers
Steppin’ Out magazine spoke with Dido and asked the singer what she felt about singers such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Destiny’s Child star Beyonce Knowles, or even now Jewel stripping their clothes to sell albums.
“It’s weird, isn’t it? First of all, I think Christina Aguilera is an amazing talent. I think she has a great voice. But it’s weird, isn’t it,” she said. “Look at Beyonce, who is an extraordinary talent. She writes, she sings, she produces, and she looks incredible. And trust me, I’m a woman and I know it’s great to show off every asset you’ve got. But what I’ve noticed in this society is that somehow wearing almost nothing has detracted from the other things in other people’s eyes. People see artists like Britney Spears as something less because of it. It’s really weird because you would think, well if you look that hot, why can’t you show it off and be really sexy? Do you know what I mean?”
At least she is nice on the comments and doesn’t blast them for taking their clothes off. It’s kind of funny that she keeps saying the word weird.
I love Dido and have a ton of respect for her. You don’t have to be rude to an artist to disagree with what they do and she totally displayed a classy way to voice her opinions without upsetting anyone.
I totally agree with Dido. She has such a beautiful voice, and she is so gorgeous. This may sounds strange but I honestly think Dido is better looking than Beyonce, Britney and Christina. Dido has a very beautiful and classy look, and she always seems so real. She also has a certain glow to her that no other stars have. Dido has such a great attitude towards other pop stars, and its so great she didn’t abuse them because they show there bodies.
LMAO at the no compliments for Britney. Dido realizes that Christina and Beyonce deserve the recognition, and of course she’s not going to diss Britney. She’ll just side-step it in an obvious shun.
It’s funny how dido said CHRISTINA AND BEYONCE was talented but she didn’t say that about Britney lip-syncing ass.
That’s nice of DIDO but Beyonce and Christina don’t have an amazing talent LOL, do you mean for stripping? Then, yeah.. I guess.
Don’t hate jealous bitch you just mad because Christina and Beyonce are way more talented then Britney will ever be especially my girl Christina.
Notice she made the sexy reference towards Britney and kindly labeled Beyonce & Christina “the talented ones”. That’s like having three children and calling one of them the beautiful one and the other two “the smart ones”. We all know which child is favored most.
She didn’t diss Britney. She called her an artist, and said that her stripping shouldn’t distract people from her art. Anyway, Dido is great. Pretty, talented, a real treat. It was great when she collaborated with Eminem.
I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but to those of you who said she didn’t compliment Britney, I should remind you that “I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman” was co-written by Dido. So she obviously likes and respects her.
Are you serious? Man, I just lost a lot of respect for Dido as a writer because that song sucks ass. The lyrics are so shallow and pointless it’s amusing. Bummer. I’m sure she regrets that error in judgement.
