so, this woman who actually MAKES insanely great pop starts posting to a list for insanenly great pop, and all anyone can do is bicker with her about her not exactly startling observation that men like to ogle female artists and sometimes make them uncomfortable in doing so? why not accept the fact that she's a woman who's actually experienced this, and take her just a little bit seriously? and maybe start talking about music with her?

for the record, my band has played with paula's, and we all think she's the bees knees. she IS beautiful, for what it's worth, but what matters is she knows how to carry herself, and she's a great performer because of THAT. not to mention that she writes great songs (which sometimes evoke bacharach/david) and she sings and plays them damn well.
