I think It's a weird one, she clearly caters to a certain market - a market I don't really identify with - but a market that think she's not only amazing, but that she's furthering their causes and representing them in a better way than anyone who's gone before her.

Which has to be a good thing.

The weird part, for me, is that it seems to be only her market who are aware of it.

Which makes me think that it's more cynical than ideological.

Yeah, it is weird. I don't know how to explain it either - altho I'm not at my most eloquent on a Monday morning anyway!

I'm too old and cynical to believe that she represents me better than anyone else, but for a young market, she's a great representation of feminism and strength. She makes art and music on her own terms and she's not trying too hard to be sexy like almost all other young female performers. She's at the bleeding edge of fashion whether it's attractive to men or not - I really respect that. Occasionally when I hear Born This Way it even feels like it's speaking to me - what other pop songs are giving a message of support to LGBT, racially diverse and disabled people? None that I can think of.

then again thanks to Radio 1 I absolutely hate "You've Got The Love" now because they won't stop playing that shit Flo & her Machine version of it (I was a big fan of the 1996 remix of the original, unfortunately I now hate all versions of it).

You need to rise above.

I preferred the Jamie Principle instrumental version, but Candy Station (as my mate calls her) did a damn fine job. Florence's version doesn't register.

I will do eventually, I just need to block out the Flo & her machine version (much like I do certain people at work ) I'll search out the Jamie Principle version to see what it sounds like

Aww I can't believe so many people on here dislike her! She is my favourite musician (hence my name) and I think she's brilliant. It's just peoples opinions though, so she's not going to be everyones cup of tea!

Oh hello there. 19 year old female. Now I'm interested...

To answer the original question, she's not your typical 'hot' blonde but I think she's pretty. I'd class her as 'strangely attractive', which I tend to like. And I know 'classing' her is a bit misogynistic but it's a shallow thread so hey ho.
