Lizzo...
A few years ago a co-worker asked if I had seen an awards show that was televised the night before. I didn't and he went on to explain how he was repulsed to see a grossly obese woman being recognized as a new artist. I think he was annoyed about her 'over the top' personality. It wasn't in my world so I ignored the comment, but I remembered the artist's name Lizzo.From time-to-time she would appear in the news and I actually heard one of her songs on the radio last month. Hip-hop with a rap lyric. Okay, that must be a calling card for the genre.
Again, Lizzo appears in the news about a lawsuit over s*xual harassment and hostile work environment. It appears to be a 'big girl' issue if it will damage her career or not.
I called up one of her YouTube videos to see what they are talking about.
Good voice, catchy rhythm, video on a budget... but that's okay. I've seen worse.
Due to her weight, I did find it funny she was moon-walking in white combat boots and the special effects of walking on water in a swimming pool of water acrobats.
Cute video and whatever the outcome of her lawsuit, I doubt it would crush the career of this or any musical artist with that kind of energy.
