Bald women rock! Please VOTE in online poll!

In addition to vocalists Dee Dee Bridgewater, Shelby Johnson, and our own Alopecia World member, Lili (aka Eulalia), on the new TV show "The Voice", Christina Aguilera has TWO women on her team who have smoothly shaved heads.

Here are links showing photos of two of the first three singers chosen by Aguilera on last night's premiere:

It appears that neither of these women has AA, but there's no question that they're both BBC (Bald By Choice)! (I just made up that acronym - what do you all think?)

WE are becoming trendy. Let's get out there and rock the look!

AND...as noted in my comment below, there's an online poll asking whether you'd watch a bald woman sing (the author is very negative). Please go to this link and vote YES. Apparently, you can vote multiple times if you close the link and revisit:

Here's what I commented:

Andrew - I'm another one of those women who you've offended with your comments. I'm bald for life due to Alopecia Areata. I'd sincerely like you to answer these questions:

Do you feel the same way about MALE singers or actors who shave their heads?

Do you honestly think they shouldn't perform bald unless they've lost all their hair due to chemo or a disease?

Would you pay money to see a baldheaded man sing "just because he wants to" be bald?

WHAT ABOUT CEE LO GREEN? Is he on chemo or does he shave his head? Would you pay to hear him sing?

Think about it. Not too many years ago, bald men were ashamed and hid their baldness. Now you see them everywhere, and they're seen as sexy. Can you say "double standard"?

I dont think I could leave a comment or vote since I am a canadian citizen but I will check it out. I think the idea that bald is trendy is a wonderful concept. ROCK THE BALD !!!!

I don't see where the form they have would block people outside the US, but maybe so. It asked for name (I just put my first name) and email address, and said the email address wouldn't be published. I usually don't give my email to anything, but I wanted too much to leave a comment. Probably pointless, but it felt good!

Mary...i usually make up an email address for those purposes. And no, your location doesnt matter because I commented and I live in Mexico.

From what I've read, the talent on this show isn't supposed to necessarily be first time or amateurs. Some of them have released records. I read something that said these are people who haven't landed the big contract yet.

I did not bother reading too much of that blog, but that guy was obviously a jerk, and totally illogical.


Althuogh it’s good to see some bald singers, I am not a fan of these kinds of competitions. They area always rigged anyway, but by giving publicity to people that are desperately trying to short cut their way to stardom (without the necessary talent to get there in most cases), this is making things more difficult for the people that do rally have merit.

There is so much great music to be found (including of course those musicians that are on Alopecia World), and I believe that people should be more inquisitive and go out and look. Here’s a great video from my favourite country.
