Heh... if you watch the "Wikipedia True or False" video linked after the video (the one where she's wearing sunglasses), that looks a lot like my old boss Kristi.

Good song. She can obviously write - and her voice is pretty good too.
Which leads me to question why she seems to feel the need to get naked all the time. I got nothing against scantily clad pretty gurls, but in an business where women have struggled for credibility instead of just being sex toys, she has damaged her own long term credibility... and she didn't need to. She's got the chops to make it without flashing her tits.

The part where she flashed was ripped right from Joan Jett's video for "Do You Wanna Touch?" Sex sells, and it apparently worked for Joan, though she was in a bikini rather than body paint. It was still considered pretty racy at the time.

Yes it does.
But my point was that with the skills Taylor Momsen has, it's probably not necessary to push it as far as she does, and will likely prove detrimental over the long term as it will become more difficult to be taken seriously. She has strong songwriting skills (Something Joan Jett definitely lacked - most of her best songs were written by others) which means she shouldn't have to resort to Miley Cyrus type behavior to get attention. Shit, the songs on the album are strong enough that two of them are included in both rock and acoustic versions.
Nothing wrong with being racy - or sensual or even erotic, but it's not just the videos... I bought the CD based on hearing what I thought were a couple pretty good songs and was surprised to see that the inside sleeve of the thing is pretty much a playboy mag layout. It didn't bother me... in fact, being a red-blooded male, of course I looked, but I was left to wonder if there isn't more to this chick, which led me to do a little research. And there is - she wrote ALL of the songs on the album - and has written songs recorded by others. Matter of fact she wrote her first song that was recorded by another artist when she was 8 years old.
Given her musical skills and the quality of her voice, I just think she has a lot more to offer than flashing her tits around in videos and on album covers. I guess if she wants to continue doing so, I'm pretty sure we will all look. But based on her ability, I would rather see her develop a long term career. Because if she's this good at 20 years old, I'd love to hear what she is capable when she matures a bit.
