Recently, there was a feud between Lady Gaga and Adele about the weight of successful singers in America. They went on debating on the ideology of whether or not it's about just the music or if you have the body/looks to deserve to be on top. This useless argument just created an extreme tension between the two singers. Causing people to believe that their favorite singer is right about being overweight or not.
When you think about it, there's always that idea when you were younger of trying to be the perfect little girl and wanting everybody to notice how cute you are. This idea that was put into your brain from the countless comments that you received from your parents' friends complimenting their new child. When you didn't get a compliment, it would feel as though you did something wrong. The only feeling of accomplishment you got were from compliments and showing off what you made in class that day to your parents. Obviously, just being cute was less work for you, and being a child you'd choose the easier way. So you decide to care more about your looks rather than work that requires actual thinking. So then this idea stays with you all the way up until now (unless you're one of the lucky few that realize it's more than just beauty) and you're not using what you're born with the ideal way.
In Adele's interview for Rolling Stones Magazine, she openly talks about how shes happy with her weight and how she loves fine food and hates the gym. Also stated, "I love seeing Katy Perry's boobs and bum. Love it. But that's not what my music is about. I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears." (Adele, 2011). Clearly, she feels no pressure at all of standing out from all of the skinny and fit singers as compared to her. She has shown people that beauty isn't everything and that everybody should be happy with how they look.
