Yeah, but what if you really don't know anything about the artist?? And also it's definetly very discriminating, f.ex I don't know how many who would consider Keiko of GLobe one of those "skinny girls who think shes fat" but she's definetly one of the skinniest jpop stars I've ever seen.
Does he listen to any of the H!P girls? Most of them complains of how much they've eaten, what they should stay away from etc etc, without I've ever heard anyone accusing them of that sort of image. So it would only apply to artists whose image is present in the nearby area/same culture.
So if I did recommend a mp3 of an artist I knew nothing of, a wonderful song which suddenly turned out to be by some "skinny girl complaining that she's fat", the song would suddenly turn out to be crap?
I'm not saying people should listen to music they don't like, but this is as shallow as it gets to me. Especially in these days of genre mixing, "unknown mp3" etc. Also how many of these girls do actually make their music other than writing a few lyrics and singing? Very professional and talented peopl (mostly) are behind a production. 'Nuff said...
