		<description>I just watched the &quot;Leeds United&quot; video, the record company is crazy if they wanted to shave off some belly on her. She looked amazing! The music industry has a long way to go and Amanda Palmer is just the beginning. Keep Rocking Amanda!</description>

		<description>Katy Perry isn&#039;t a bad feminist musician, but her most sexist songs DO sell the best, so technically the point and title of your article was proven.</description>

		<description>About the &quot;BiichO&quot; commenter.

I&#039;m a Spanish speaker and can tell you what he said. Basically, he says that he doesn&#039;t understand a word of what you have said about Katy Perry but that he loves her music and that he finds her not only beautiful but perfect.

All of this written taking as much space as he could. What a stupid jerk.</description>

		<description>Why is Amanda Palmer on this list? Amanda Palmer is a useless wanna be  no one listens to. Her songs are dreadful, she was dropped from her record contract and now she does cover songs. Amanda Palmer mocks the disabled, strips in public and makes racist remarks. Amanda Palmer isn&#039;t interesting, just a desperate joke.</description>

		<description>An excellent feminist artist is Nellie McKay. One song in particular, &quot;Mother of Pearl&quot;, is a lovely and sarcastic tribute to feminism. It rocks!</description>

		<description>Hm, I just wanna make a comment on Katy Perry and the assumptions/misunderstandings about her.
Katy does write the majority of her songs, although I Kissed A Girl is a collaboration between her and a few other songwriters, so I wouldn&#039;t give her all the credit for lines like &quot;it&#039;s not what good girls do.&quot;
But, you see, Katy was raised in a strict, extremely Christian household. When she turned 17, she moved to LA and discovered the world around her, so when she sings about sexual experimentation not being what &#039;good girls&#039; do, it&#039;s probably sarcastic and some sort of critic to the religious visions she was taught.

Also, I wouldn&#039;t say Katy&#039;s songs are anti-feminist at all. Taking &quot;If you can afford me&quot; for instance, she sings:

&quot;If you want me,
I&#039;m not a piece of ass,
a one night stand,
a storage ship
I think you better walk by, tonight
If you want me,
then stop begging
I don&#039;t put out for charity
If you want me there&#039;s no discount price tonight
But I don&#039;t need your dollar bills
I just want something real
Cuz, nothing&#039;s free, except a lovin&#039; me&quot;

I guess that says something, right?

Katy is as famous as she is because she&#039;s daring. She was one of the few women at 2008&#039;s Warped Tour. She performed on that stage amongst all those all-boy bands, and still she managed to be as successful as she is today.
And as she has stated once (I can&#039;t find the link to the video right now, sorry), she likes to impress people, and not only with her pinup style (which is HER choice, not her label&#039;s, FYI), but with her tongue-in-cheek statements and lyrics. She&#039;s said (on that same video) &quot;I like to hear boys say &#039;oh, she can do that too&#039;.&quot; - or something along those lines, which proves that she isn&#039;t anti-feminism, and that she&#039;s not just another pop tart that sings meaningless songs and uses her body as a credit card. She&#039;s very intelligent and opinionated, actually.

Alright, I just wanted to make this clear. I am a fan of Katy Perry (well, duh) and of this blog too, and this is my first comment here.</description>
