Children are not yet in possession of their own sexuality, and until they are, it should be protected, not put on parade. And its had thousands of views on YouTube in a matter of days.Īsk me to “lighten up” all you like, but I can see little other to this video than a group of promising little girls asked to take part in something that, at its core, just seems filthy. No, it’s nothing Beyonce didn’t already do herself, but when has likening children to a 28-year-old superstar become a warranted excuse for objectification? This isn’t something kids should be doing in front of their bedroom mirror, let alone for an audience full of video cameras. The performance, part of the World of Dance competition in Pomona, Calif., last month, features two minutes of hip thrusts, high kicks and sensual strutting around a stage. Verse 1: Beyonc Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job.
While the objectification of young girls has been widely tolerated in the name of “the spotlight,” will this video of five children put on display in bedazzled bikinis finally key parents into the danger of Lolita-izing their daughters? Follow sexy? Children performing Beyonce’s “All The Single Ladies” in barely-there outfits is nothing to cheer about.
