Says she's 'disturbed and dismayed' by the recent spate of explicit videos and says Rihanna's video for Pour It Up casts her as a '****'. I know the Eurythmics video for Sweet Dreams was pretty close to the bone in its day, but they were never like these and I'm inclined to agree with her.

Down with this sort of thing.:mad:
Very true.
The talent free 'X Factor generation' that wants fame and money at any price and will prostitute themselves in any way to get it.
She does have a point though.
As did Madonna, who still does.
Yep.
The only way the music industry can be cleaned up is for people to stop buying the music, stop watching the videos on YouTube and turn off the radio. But people won't do it so the filth continues.
It's not just the music industry though. It's happening everywhere. Things that were thought risqué 30 years ago are old hat now, and boundaries get pushed.
The Rihanna video is really pretty misogynistic, depicting women as objects who'll do anything for money. Annie might have danced in her bra, but I don't remember her acting the prostitute.
Quite.
*Sighs*
Careful now!

The video for Love is a Stranger is mildly erotic
Rihanna's recent video is sleazy, soft porn. She is sitting legs akimbo, touching herself and is wearing a bra that is barely covering her tits. Add to that a group of half dressed pole dancers twerking (original) in the background.
Don't watch it if it offends you
You have to watch it to be able to form an opinion.
It doesn't offend me, but I do think it's verging on soft porn.
Exactly. Likewise there's a difference between having a few songs in your catalog that deal with sexuality in an adult way and shoving your arsehole in everyone's face at every opportunity.
BIB - Precisely. Once was enough, between the vid and the dire song, I couldn't manage another viewing
It is a bit sexy doing that but hardly pornographic. There is a difference. Rihanna is seriously pushing the boundaries, as always, and is coming across as desperate now, even though she has a fantastic body. I don't blame her for flaunting it, but bringing soft porn into a video that kids will watch? No.
But it's out there regardless of whether you watch it or not.
I never said it offended me, we've seen it all before with Rihanna, it's tiresome tbh.
I can't believe there are actually adults who still use that line. I suppose we should be grateful you didn't add 'simples' at the end.
The untalented feel they have to resort to more and more risque videos in order to sell themselves. Frankly I think the pendulum is beginning to swing the other way. Bring on the melody, singers, and leave the porn for those who do it well.
