Alexis Jordan

Ah, here we go again, down the road of the fresh, young teenybopper who claims their desire to be a role model for other impressionable teens.

Fair enough that she may not be drinking or taking drugs, so you may think that she is indeed suitable to lead those wayward teens toward the straight and narrow. Very commendable.

However, it's statements like "I don't want to be considered sexy" that infuriate me. Miss Jordan apparently claimed "There are singers out there who do it amazingly. But I never wanted to be one of those artists who wears revealing clothes and flirts into the camera".

Is that so? Well, why does she do both then in her videos? Fair enough, she's not parading around in a basque but she's wearing a loose vest that happens to skim across the training bra she is hiding while she dances.

If singers want to be sexy, do it. Girls like to feel attractive. Katy Perry and Rihanna are two singers that are always flashing the flesh, but at least they are honest about wanting to look and feel sexy. (Although perhaps some outfits are that tad too inappropriate)

The best way to be a role model to the youngsters is to be honest with them. If you don't want to be considered sexy, focus on the music - don't shoot a video that distracts from the vocals with provocative dancing and flirtatious flutterings of the eyelashes.
