Men who listen to female singers/pop-stars

What are your thoughts on this?

What? Not something I ever thought about. I mean, don't you either just like a song/track or not? can be made by anyone.

Um, nearly half of my favourite bands/artists are female singers/pop stars so I’m obviously fine with it. Men listening to just them I would find odd, though. I don’t care much for pop music in general (teen idols, boy bands, etc).

I listen to plenty of female artists. Some pop, some not. Phoebe Bridgers is the first that comes to mind, lately. She's a bit of folk, pop, indie, whatever.
I also listen to everything from Slipknot to Elton John.

Female singers have been around for a long time now, so I don't think Cubed's age has anything to do with this

Like... are you trying to shake the trees to see what falls out - like a guy who listens to Brittney Spears and Hilary Duff? Because your thread could also be addressing years of pop singers from an era like the 80's where that was basically all of mainstream radio outside of hair metal or house music.

This is either a provocative question to sniff out weirdos, or it's a question meant for a music-seasoned-psycho like Patrick Bateman.

You can't objectively say that's not empowering, can you?

I used to listen to a lot of Britney Spears when no one was around. That was back when I would think a lot about having a lot of sex with Britney Spears, though. When that went away, so did her from my playlist.

I still do have "popstars" like Natalie Imbruglia, Colbie Caillat, and Michelle Branch in my playlist. That stuff seems to age better.

I'm just going to assume this question is being asked because Cyber has never considered listening to music by lowly females.

I'm ashamed of listening to female music, because I fear someone might find out I like that stuff. I don't know what I would do if that happened, so I'll never tell anyone.

Nothing different than women who listen to male singers.

I don't see the big deal about guys listening to female artists. They tend to have the best voices, and I personally just like women anyway.

Here's a pretty good cover of "Truly Madly Deeply."

The wife's been listening to Lana del Rey every day for months now. And she is fantastic! The new album is great, too.

Dude. If you liked those, check out the first two Darren Hayes albums, "Spin" and "The Tension and the Spark." Darren Hayes basically WAS Savage Garden. Like, listen to this. As good as anything he did with that other dude.
