After Beyonce’s Superbowl Performance many sang the pop star praises. Yet, it raised some concerns from conservatives groups in America pointing out that Beyonce is ‘over sexualizing her body’ and is ‘a poor role model for girls’. Another argument was that Beyonce performance is too arousing for  young boys potentially encouraging them towards Pornography. Dani Blum of Connecticut expressed her thoughts in an article found here saying she’ became disgusted at what she saw’. Yet ‘The Week’ said the performance was ‘far more exciting than the games lethargic first half”. The conversation was highlighted by Donald Trump from his appearance on The Howard Stern Show calling the performance ‘Suggestive’ and ‘Inappropriate’. It does seem a little ironic that this is coming from the man who heads  The Miss Universe Pageant, judging women while they parade around in bikinis.

GetRealLive shared the story our Tuedsay Feb 11th Show and one gentleman contacted us via Twitter post show saying he agreed with the Donald. This began the discussion of Art vs Sexuality and its place in the modern world. Art has always involved sex in some manner. Take for example, The Statue David; how it is received is really up to the viewer. Some may admire it as a work of art while another may potentially find it erotic or simply unnecessary. Nonetheless, judging by history sexuality expressed in art  is not going away anytime soon.

The listener called in on Thursday Feb 14th show to discuss his point and express his concern as a family man when it comes to watching these kinds of performances on the air. (You can listen to this show below on demand or click HERE).  What are we to do with this? Are main stream performers over sexualizing their bodies? Should Beyonce be singled out and finally, is this really different than any other artist from other generations?

GetRealLive is committed to sharing the stories and having the conversations that help build families and relationships. We would love to hear from you!
