Why Elly Jackson is infinitely better than Katy Perry



First off, I am fairly confident that The Loser's allusions to this blog were purely coincidental. Thank Buddha almighty.

And now to the point. Elly Jackson, lead singer of La Roux, is better than Katy Perry, by a lot. To illustrate my point, I give you screenshots from the "California Gurls" music video (Katy Perry), and the "Bulletproof" music video (La Roux) with helpful notes written by myself.









So as we can see, Elly Jackson challenges conventions and stands on artistic merit. Katy Perry conforms to the feminine norm in order to appeal to animalistic men, and thus stands not on talent or artistic merit, but on sex appeal. To quote Elly Jackson:

What's your stance on the way that female musicians either choose to or are forced to use a sexuality that's essentially just designed to appeal to men?

"It's really patronising to women. I know that there's far more ways to be sexy than to dress in a miniskirt and a tank top. If you're a real woman you can turn someone on in a plastic bag just by looking at them. That's what a real woman is, when you've got the sex eyes. I think you attract a certain kind of man by dressing like that. Women wonder why they get beaten up, or having relationships with arsehole men. Because you attracted one, you twat. It's a funny culture, it's definitely a funny culture. Those women are just insecure, but they'll turn round to me and say 'you're just jealous 'cos you want a tan and you want big boobs, stupid boy-looking girl'. You can't win, they wouldn't believe me for a second."

In conclusion:
