The Woke irony is this body commentary came chiefly from rock journalists who are leftists by and large.
I never understood why they attacked Ann...I mean, it wasn't like she'd ever date these POSs. All the left knows is destruction.
The proof is in the pudding. She can STILL belt it out without the band tuning down.

Ann's status is secured. She has nothing to prove to anyone. She and her sister are Rock N Roll Hall of Fame members.
People are going to hate no matter what.
To: DoodleBob
IIRC, Nancy Wilson was required to audition to join the band.
She played Yes’ “Roundabout” on guitar.
She passed.

I remember Heart at the height of their popularity and reading the criticisms of her weight gain. I was disgusted by what I was reading, even as a teenager.

I remember back when there were actual music videos, she would be wearing giant capes and coats, and hiding behind objects, and be shot from above,looking up. Every trick in the book to not appear as fat as she was.
Great singer and band and the soundtrack of my high school, partying years. She should have just relaxed and owned it. Who cares she’s fat?

"Wilson developed unhealthy habits in an effort to cope with her anxiety."
It is not for us to be snowflakes. Forget the psychopaths. Develop healthy habits. Laugh at the jokes, because there are jokes about every type.

It is better to not read what they say about you.

Hey, fat is fat. If I “ developed unhealthy habits in an effort to cope “ with my anxieties, I would be in jail. Live with it and don’t complain. Heart has a few great albums and were great in their day. A vinyl album had a mushroom on it.

Another one from the 80s was Alison Moyet of the band Yaz (sometimes known as Yazoo). They were pretty popular in the New Wave circuit, not to Heart level of popularity tho. And probably didn't get there, because she was plus sized. And plus sized female singers were not going to get real far in 1980s MTV land. But a great band if you are into 80s New Wave.

“She should have just relaxed and owned it.”
She should have. If you are a great singer, you don’t have to be thin or a looker if you are selling records and concert tickets. Other examples:
Ethel Merman
Jennifer Holliday (before she lost weight)
Meatloaf
Mama Cass
Janis Joplin
Aretha Franklin
Lowell George (Little Feat)
Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Barry White

I never cared for her screechy, overwrought vocal style. Kind of like Janis Joplin lite. Can you imagine dating a woman like Janis Joplin? Yuk.
To: DoodleBob
A little plump but an attractive woman. Her critics were probably twice her size and envious of her slimness.

She can belt it out like few other female singers, that’s for sure.
To: DoodleBob
The height of the body shaming coincided with the girth of her physical existence.
I dont care if you're fat and I bought all of your records so Shut up and sing Ann.
