B-Jork dissing Boufantce? Madonna did Pepsi YEARS AGO. And if that commercial and it's contents isn't selling your soul to the devil, I don't know what is.

Artists dissing other artists is SO last week.

Without taking sides or sounding harsh, I think the explanation is pretty simple.

Sure, everyone in entertainment uses their image to get ahead. Even if an artist is anti-image like say New Order or somebody, that still becomes a selling point.

But I think the difference is what you're selling. Of course Bjork uses imagery and fashion. Perhaps better than anyone. But she's doing it for the sake of furthering her art. She's selling herself. And that's what artists who go for fame and recognition do, they sell themselves. But that doesn't necessarily mean selling OUT.

When you start selling soda and fast food and cosmetics and deodorant and cars, you run the risk of looking a wee bit fake. I don't always have a problem with it. But I can see how someone as singly motivated as Bjork would.

Bjork isn't saying she hates Beyonce's fashion sense or her choice of eye shadow. I think she's just expressing disappointment in a fellow artist she has a lot of respect for. I don't find this catty or mean-spirited at all. Not even hypocritical. It's a bit strange coming from Bjork. I'm not used to her talking about other celebrities much. But it certainly isn't slander.

if you think about it, every time bjork gets attention for wearing some kooky designer's new creation, she's doing a commercial.

Anxiety said:

You're exactly right. I wonder does she know that.

Hotlegs said:

She knows. But it is not COMMERCIAL. It's art. There is a slight difference between art and pimpin your image, for cash. You know; Beyonce style...

GooeyTheHamster said:

Yeah but she's just marketing her image which in turns promotes awareness of the musical artist, which can sell more "art"(albums).

CinisterCee said:

Oh, that is just a by-product. It is easy to say EVERY known person in the media is a walking commercial. It is just how you use your image.

Beyonce does it the American way, Bjork goes arty-farty. Bjork questioned Beyonce as an artist, probably worries about her.

Qritique in itself does not have to be negative. So. Your pants look awful.

Kinda bulgy in the crotch.

CinisterCee said:

Kinda spooky, in them Hammer pants...

I didn't think this was a diss at all. She sounds like a big fan of Beyonce', but just annoyed at the commercials. It's no different than orgers who are big fans of Prince but complain about every other little thing he does.
