Watching two of the best Jennifer's out there, Hudson and Holliday (sorry Lopez and Love-Hewitt) tear the stage a new one with their double-diva-thon, we can't help but wish Britain's Got Talent phenom Susan Boyle was up there with 'em!
It ain't everyday talented ladies of non-Aguilera height and weight are allowed to strut their stuff in public. It's a refreshing change of pace in a Biz where Heidi Montag can be considered a recording artist just for being thin, blond and breathing.
Are the Heidi's of the music world here to stay? Or could big, older gals be the next big trend?
Uh, no, how's that for an answer? See, when Britney was at her heaviest—which, still, was pretty damn good for a mom of two—everyone freaked out. Brit was put on a strict diet of nonstop exercise before they would let her on tour, dare she offend any of her fans with wretched cellulite playing peekaboo out of her costumes. The horror!
And it's safe to say Jessica Simpson will never step in a pair of mom jeans (or perform at a chili cook-off) again.
Aren't musicians s'posed to be heard and not gawked at? Or is that just for men? Anyone give an ef about how much Morrissey weighs, or how old Paul McCartney is? Both older, graying headliners for this year's Coachella music fest don't ever have to worry about losing a few pounds to keep their fans. And we bet John Mayer could step into some unflattering mom jeans at a gig and come out completely unscathed (tho we've seen him in far worse).
This double-standard crap pisses us off even worse than the lack of male nudity in flicks. 'Course, Jason Segel had the balls to drop it onscreen—maybe Susan will be the exception to this totally ridiculous rule? Don't know about you, but we'd much rather watch the Scottish diva-in-training's video clip over Heidi's music vids any day.
