A new story in the Wichita Eagle examines a developing trend for female musicians: Getting even. Sure, women have sang about cheating ex's and payback for some time now, but as the article explains, it's becoming more of a mainstream topic lately. The article cites Carrie Underwood, Beyonce and Lily Allen as examples. You can click here to read the story.
Who's to blame for this new mainstream trend? The Spice Girls and their whole "girl power" movement? Alanis and her vendetta against Joey Gladstone? Or does it go all the way back to Aretha and her pleas for r-e-s-p-e-c-t?
Furthermore, is this a good thing? Maybe it will make men treat their women better. Or maybe men just won't trust singers in the first place. Who knows? I don't have all the answers. But I do have a bunch of YouTube videos. Without further ado, here are seven reasons to get a pre-nup...
Beyonce "Irreplaceable" - A week of dating Beyonce is worth a lifetime of negative backlash.
Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats" - Who would cheat on Carrie Underwood? I don't know how that guy even walks with such huge balls.
Lily Allen "Smile" - This chick might be legitimately crazy. I'd keep my distance.
Kelly Clarkson "Never Again" - I think this guy broke up with Kelly before she was famous.
Avril Lavigne "Don't Tell Me" - So much for her boyfriend's happy ending.
Alanis Morrisette "You Oughta Know" - The original and still the best.
Rihanna "Unfaithful" - I've heard certain males suggest that the "never hit a woman" rule should have been dropped in this case. I don't support that idea. I'm just saying, it's been thrown around.
