After JoJo Siwa said she wanted to "invent" a genre of music called gay pop, the internet brought out its collective reading glasses and gave the singer/dancer the once-over.
在JoJo Siwa说她想“发明”一种叫做同性恋流行音乐的音乐类型之后,互联网上的人们拿出了集体的老花镜,对这位歌手兼舞蹈演员进行了一番审视。
Speaking with TMZ, Siwa walked back her previous comments, acknowledging that there were indeed other, gayer pop purveyors who came before her.
在接受TMZ采访时,Siwa收回了她之前的评论,承认在她之前确实有其他同性恋流行音乐供应商。
"I definitely am not the inventor of gay pop, for sure not," Siwa admitted. "But I do want to be a piece in making it bigger than it already is. I want to bring more attention to it."
“我绝对不是同性恋流行音乐的发明者,肯定不是,”Siwa承认。“但我确实想参与其中,让它变得更大。我想引起更多的关注。”
The gay confusion came after an interview with Billboard.
在接受Billboard采访后,他对同性恋产生了困惑。
"When I first signed with Columbia I said I wanted to start a new genre of music...gay pop," Siwa said. The 20-year-old went on to compare the proposed genre with the jazz-funk style of dance, a fusion of jazz and hip-hop. Which would make gay pop a fusion of pop and...gay, we suppose?
“当我第一次与哥伦比亚签约时,我说我想开创一种新的音乐流派……同性恋流行音乐,”西瓦说。这位20岁的歌手还将这种音乐风格与爵士-放克风格的舞蹈进行了比较,后者是爵士和嘻哈的融合。这将使同性恋流行音乐成为流行音乐和…你是同性恋吧?
The Dance Moms alum then gave a few song examples of what she meant: "Applause" and "Judas" by Lady Gaga, "On My Own" and "Can't Be Tamed" by Miley Cyrus, and she also name-drops her own single "Karma." What gay pop is not, according to the singer/dancer, however is Katy Perry's "California Gurls."
这位舞蹈妈妈还举了几首歌的例子来说明她的意思:Lady Gaga的《掌声》和《犹大》,麦莉·塞勒斯的《On My Own》和《Can't Be tame》,她还提到了自己的单曲《Karma》。然而,据这位歌手兼舞者说,同性恋流行音乐不是凯蒂·佩里的California Gurls。
Siwa's comments generated a slew of side-eyes, including a silent "Really, ma'am?" from queer pop pioneers Tegan and Sara. Siwa said she even got it from Betty Who, and she's friends with Betty Who. Then of course, there are the pop foregays like David Bowie, Elton John, Little Richard, not to mention the Madonna of it all. Given that, Siwa is ready to give up title of "inventor" and settle for something a little less flashy.
Siwa的评论引起了很多人的侧目,包括一个沉默的“真的吗,女士?”来自酷儿流行先锋泰根和萨拉。西瓦说她甚至是从贝蒂那里得到的,而且她是贝蒂的朋友。当然,还有像大卫·鲍伊、埃尔顿·约翰、小理查德这样的流行乐坛前辈,更不用说麦当娜了。考虑到这一点,Siwa准备放弃“发明家”的头衔,接受一些不那么浮华的东西。
"I'm not the creator," she told TMZ, "I'm not the president, but I might be like the CEO, or CMO, chief marketing officer. I'm the CMO."
“我不是创造者,”她告诉TMZ,“我不是总裁,但我可能像首席执行官、首席营销官或首席营销官。我是首席营销官。”
JoJo Siwa, CMO of Gay Pop. This, of course, will have to go by the board consisting of Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Lil Nas X, Gaga, and the actual President of Gay Pop, Cher.
JoJo Siwa, Gay Pop的首席营销官。当然,这必须由由Charli XCX、Troye Sivan、Lil Nas X、Gaga和真正的同性恋流行音乐主席雪儿组成的董事会来决定。
