I have touched upon the subject of female singers going onstage in nothing but their underwear before, but I have never devoted an entire blog to the subject matter.
I am unsure why so many female singers now feel like it is a good idea to go onstage in their underwear. Unless a girl is trying to get the attention of my manager Mr. Bricks’ and his one lazy eye. It is a disturbing trend that seems to becoming more and more common. This is a trend that I am bound and determined to put a stop to. So effective today, I the Greek Blonde girl, have appointed myself as the Czar of Pantaloons.
My mantra is very simple. Girls keep your britches on. And guys, I know you are testing the waters by walking on stage with your pants on the ground and your underpants hanging out…next thing you know you too will be walking on stage without your pants on. Just say no.
When I was telling my manager Mr. Bricks about how I felt about not ever wanting to perform on stage with anyone just wearing their underwear, he suggested I add it to my technical rider, which is a set of requests or demands that a performer will set as criteria for their performance. Yah right…I will be the first rocker chick who has a “No Panties” clause in her contracts — oh wait, I guess the Kardashians already have a similar clause in all of their contracts. However, I think their clause might mean something totally opposite of what mine would mean.
I don’t care what the situation is, you will never hear someone say, I see London, I see France, I see the Greek Girls’ underpants. Nope, never going to happen. Sorry guys. (I probably just lost 500 male fans) It has nothing to do with me being ashamed of my body and wanting to keep it covered up. I work out very hard every day, I eat very healthy and I am very proud of my body, but I just don’t feel a need to prance around on stage in my skivvies.
This is one place where the old saying, if you got it, flaunt it should not apply. I personally think it is just another example of the moral decay of our society which makes me sad. When you go to a concert you should be going to hear the music, not to see a peep show.
Girls (and certain guys) it is called underwear..the key word here is under. The dictionary defines the word as:
un·der·wear
noun \ˈən-dər-ˌwer\
Definition of UNDERWEAR
‘Nuff said.

Why not be shocking and cover up from neck to knees? Everyone would be talking about that strange new look.
Quirkyculture what a brilliant idea. I think I will wear my full length puffy winter blanket coat on stage, even in summer.

no, you have not…
but one should discuss and maybe have some empathy to small steps towards eroticism on stage …

Thanks Tia. So glad others are agreeing with me on this. Last thing I wanted to consider myself was just a prude little Greek girl.

I 100% agree with you. When going to see a concert, it should be about the talent, the music…not about what they are wearing. (or not wearing)
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you agree.

Lady Gaga was on 60 minutes and just about half-naked last week.
Like I really needed that.

Don, no one needs to see Lady Gaga naked, in clothes or coming out of an egg – Just sayin’

Hahaha!!
what are you reading my blog for, shouldn’t you be watching NASCAR?
Maybe I’m just getting old, but I don’t want to see a performer’s underwear!
No, I don’t think anyone wants to see someone else’s underpants.

I am clear on this one Ava: my 8-year old girl needs good role models and any young female singer who parades around in her gitch is off the list. It seems like some rite-of-passage that good girls go “bad” by showing off the knickers. I wish it would stop. Evidently I am not alone!
gitch? never heard that term before.
You are far from being alone on that. the blog has turned out to be one of my most popular and it has been almost 100% support that no one wants to see someone else’s underpants.

Gitch – haha. Must be a Canadian thing Ava.
yep must be. 🙂

Obviously Katy feels “sex sells” is the way to go, no matter what. I can definitely see why a serious artist like yourself would be offended by such ridiculous behaviour from a recording artist who has already “made it.”
When I am at the level Katy Perry is at now, I still plan on keeping my pants on. I do not believe it is something a female artist should do to get fame or to keep fame.
