Yes. It was called "taste." A stark contrast to the performers we've seen over the past decades. Check out Miley Cyrus, her whole relentless sexual coming out phase, and the obscene outfits she wears on stage. Not saying it's wrong or bad but it differs so much from singers like this. (and yes, I wouldn't say Miley is really a singer by any means but I'm just talking about taste v. tasteless)
