It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Lowest common denominator

I think all this emphasis on sexiness cheapens and demeans the performers. Nicola is right that only her musical acumen should matter when it comes to assessing her talent but then she appears in a picture holding her violin while wearing a tight dress with a significant portion of her anatomy hanging out of it. How are we supposed to take her seriously?

Perhaps this is why female artists in general were not taken seriously until very recently (and apparently the Vienna Philharmonic still does not take female artists seriously). In this climate, if I were a female artist, I would avoid playing to the galleries.
