On page 112, the author states "While major record labels often tend to sell their female stars by highlighting their sexual desirability, some female performers managed to carve out a representational space by highlighting girl themes that energized girl solidarity and held up the possibility for a re-articulation of young femininity." Using at least two of the music video examples taken from above and/or one example from the lesson, provide examples of music that highlights sexual desirability and performers who have attempted to re-articulate what it means to be an empowered female performing artist. Consider the music, lyrics, and visuals of the music video. Be sure to reference the article to support your response. 2.

"What does this mean? Do you agree or disagree, and why?
