representations of women in music.

When it comes down to women in music there are only three types of representations

Divas'
These are the women that are portrayed as dominant and powerful the women that are shown in very sexual ways yet are still sophisticated. There are many close ups and low angle shots to make them look even more powerful. There is nothing to sexual and nothing inappropriate like in some other representations simply just slightly sexual dancing and a lot of laying about. In most videos 'Divas' are often wearing dark black clothing, crop tops, skirts and dresses.

Women represented in this manner are shown as 'rougher' and more feisty women, they wear very revealing clothing and lots of animal print. there is a lot of sex references and errotic imagery in their music videos. there is a lot of focus on their bodies mainly their bums and boobs to show them in an even more sexual way.
