She was very much ‘of her time’ and that time was very short, essentially.
She was one of the last, and probably best, sexualised, risqué pin up style female pop stars. When kissing a girl was still titillatingly taboo and you could get away with song titles like ‘ur so gay’ and make a sketch solely about the size of your tits on SNL.
I loved the fact she was a natural curvy woman at the time, and she’s actually a lot more talented a musician than people give her credit for, but that whole act hasn’t survived the metoo movement, so that’s a massive chunk of her catalogue tarnished I guess. She very much rode the ‘sex sells’ approach, and whilst she still went on to greater heights (Firework, Roar etc) her original act hasn’t aged well at all.
