I look at it this way. There are many people you can follow or admire who have positivity and the important thing to remember is that person also a moral person.

For example, I have followed a you tuber for a few years who has had a “quest for positivity”. This was his way of getting over some horrible changes in his life, by going out, talking to his camera, and vlogging about trying to stay positive when bad things happen.

It was years before he really told his story. He gained a huge following and helped people not to feel alone and to focus on hanging in with a positive attitude even when life sucks. Now his life has improved so much. Which is cool can you can see the results. Never, ever did I hear of him saying or doing anything immoral. I have no idea of his religion. But I can tell he respects himself and his fiance. He used to be a punk rocker in a successful band. I don’t know what he was like then. I didn’t follow him because of that. I only know what he was like after the band broke up and that he shared with hundreds of people how important it is to stay positive when bad things happen.

There are so many people with good messages of positivity. If this is what you see in this singer that draws you, yet you have concerns then look around elsewhere for this. It sounds like you are looking at this person as a role model in a way, because you like her positivity and talent.

I went and looked at a couple of her you tubes. In one she is obviously singing about pink vaginas, tongues, going down with the tongue, and a few other things I couldn’t follow without looking up the lyrics. I could tell this song is about a sexual acts and in praise of sex organs. I am surprised you don’t see that. She has herself and others in costumes made to look like vaginas opening and closing and at one point she wears underwear with pubic hair sticking. This is not moral.

In another video, an interview, she used the phrase mother fcking to describe herself and her freedom. I know it’s probably not in to say this, but that has to be one of the worst phrases in the world. God does not want us to talk about fcking mothers. He wants us to respect mothers and so does the church. And, no, it’s not just words.

Although I think this singer has a pretty voice, I think her talent could be put to better use. It came from God, after all. I don’t think following this singer is in step with the Catholic faith. I think you probably already knew that, but it’s hard to let go.

Because they’re human and thus have God-given dignity, just like the rest of us
 
Oh please. The whole dignity talk is so overused. It’s a modern sickness to be so obsessed with such a demographic in such a way; a fetish; a weak spot for sweets.
 
I just googled ‘PYNK’ and could not watch for more than 15 seconds. How horrifically sad, disgusting and just plain aweful.

She is alluding to female privates and basically making a mokery of the whole female body.

Women fought so hard to be equal. When I think of the suffrage movement and the work they did for women to be respected only for a few generation later have women be the prime advocates of degrading women. This singer is in soul is in serious danger

How sad that millenials live in a generation where they can’t evil see the evil rigth in front of their eyes.
 
The picture is very degrading. She is not wearing a shirt. How sad
 
You make a good point. After all, this forum is for the follows of Jesus.

Reading your post also made me think of something. As much as there is nothing wrong with attending a concert of someone’s music you like, where is the need to follow artists?
 
You posted a link to a video that was making very obvious images of private female body parts. Wake Up !
 
Yes, non-straights are God’s chidlren which is why we should help them to love themselves by acting according to God’s moral law.

Patting them on the head and saying ‘it’s OK to sin’ is NOT doing them or us any good
 
You know, OP this post has really got me heated. I can’t believe how sad the world has become where young people are not only so oblivious to the evil around them, but have no positive guidance from the adults in their day to day life

What ever happened to going to parents for guidance. Now internet forums are bring up kids
 
One other thing: I think it depends how publicly you follow and like her. People might say “well, so and so is Catholic, and she listens to Janrlle-Monae, so it can’t be that bad”.
