There are some strong female performers out there. But the industry's pre-occupation with the packaging of how a woman looks has gone completely the other way, back to almost the 60s, early 70s.

Nowadays in pop, there's not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high - it's not as common as it once was.

There have never been so many women in the music industry, but they're doing ballads and pop. Where's the new Joan Jetts and the Wanda Jacksons and the Debbie Harrys, all these strong women? I wanna be the woman that rocks.

There's not a lot of pretty, young female artists that's out. It's a lot of talent out there, but they don't know how to go about it. I feel like there should be way more sexier women in hip-hop and R&B then it is - more originality.

Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.

It seems like pop singing has sort of influenced musical theatre in so many ways - you could argue good or bad, really - and musical theatre is written for that style so often, which is a completely different style.

Fashion hasn't changed enough yet. There's too much a stereotype of beauty.

Women's music is underrepresented.

There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.
