Let's talk about TOTAL HOARS.

No, rly.

There's been a tendency for quite some time for srs critics (ie: heat magazine, Perez Hilton...) to scream 'SL4G!' at various popstars for having suggestive videos/lyrics or going out with no pants on or daring to lock lips with an age-appropriate member of the opposite sex. Some songs, like 'Dirrrty' are obviously meant to be about Having It Off quite a bit and posing in FHM never makes you look coy but even so, it's the suggestion of slvttery rather than actual slvuttery. The Pussycat Dolls may have started off as strippers but 'Buttons' is as sexually explicit as they get and their clothing is no slvttier than Malibu Barbie's, in fact considerably less so most of the time. Even Ho-rap generally keeps control of the situation, leading to a degree of respect at least being demanded of the listener, whether they give it or not.

This year, though, there seem to have been a number of at least semi-mainstream releases that just circumnavigate the "suggestive" bit, say respect is for the unambitious and leap straight into "advanced slvttery" without losing a false eyelash. Let us consider, for instance, Girlicious. ( under the cut )

Did Her Name Is Nicole ever get released/leak, semi-relatedly?

Also, totally unrelatedly, have we had a thread about the new Cyndi Lauper album? If not, can we have one?
