27 year old C. Church - you should be a Nun
[C. Church has hit out at the oversexualisation
of young female pop stars, criticising the
"online pissing contest" between
Miley Cyrus and Sinead O'Connor and
Rihanna's penchant for appearing
scantily clad in raunchy music videos.
The 27-year-old singer said that she
had firsthand experience
of the manipulation that comes
from being thrust into the limelight
as a child star by a "male-dominated
music industry with a juvenile perspective
on gender and sexuality".
"There was a big clamour to
cover my breasts as they wanted
to keep me as young as possible,"
she said of the early years of her career.
"
Then it became, 'You should definitely
get them out, they look great.'"
Addressing a full auditorium at the
Radio Academy radio festival, Church
said: "To my mind, what this industry
seems to want of its women
increasingly is sex objects that
appear childlike. Take your clothes off,
show you're an adult." ]
