If you watched Robin Thicke's interview with Oprah, you would discover that it was a woman's idea to have topless females in his 'Blurred Lines' visuals. And she was the director! His wife Paula Patton loved the video and considers it 'art'. It doesn't make the sordid tack more acceptable just because a few females co-sign it.
Besides, rappers have been doing these kind of visuals for years. But when a white R&B singer does it and goes mainstream, of course folks are going to feel some way about it.
Watch the interview in full as Thicke discusses the impact of 'Blurred Lines', that now infamous MTV Video Music Awards performance with Miley Cyrus, experiences with fatherhood and family life with wife Paula.
