Photoshopped Music
Not all music clips are what they seem. We saw evidence of that this week when Meghan Trainor withdrew one of hers after she found out it had been photoshopped. Take a look.
She's the Grammy-award winning popstar who's seen as a champion for positive body image. In fact Meghan Trainor became famous for a song that's all about how the media tries to make people look perfect.
MEGHAN TRAINOR: I see them magazines working that photoshop we know that this ain't real come on let's make it stop.
Yesterday Meghan released her latest hit single. But instead of going down with a bang, the video just went down after Megan found out that it'd been digitally manipulated to make her waist look smaller.
This is the original and this is the one that went out.
MEGHAN TRAINOR: They photoshopped me; my waist is not that teeny. I had a bomb waist that night, so I don't know why they didn't like my waist. But ah, I didn't approve that video and it went out for the world, so I'm embarrassed.
Many experts agree. They say seeing photoshopped images can give young people unrealistic expectations of what their bodies should look like and it's much better to just celebrate who you are.
STUDENT 1: I think it makes young people feel that they have to make their body look nicer or like these older people.
STUDENT 2: They just want to make themselves look skinnier or like more flawless. I dont think its okay.
STUDENT 3: Students in high school and primary school; I dont think its okay because it makes you feel insecure about your body.
STUDENT 4: I think photoshopped images are really bad and I believe that they should be banned all around because youre perfect whoever you are.
