Annie Lennox says female music stars stripping is 'devaluing women'

Annie Lennox has slammed female music artists who indulge in raunchy behaviour.

The likes of Miley Cyrus and Rihanna regularly come under fire for adult-themed music videos and nude shoots.

Speaking to the Metro, Lennox said that she feels some female artists are misjudging their audience and also the values of empowerment.

She said: "Things have evolved so far that some have gone backwards. I'm appalled by it. The artists who are aware their audience are seven year olds - what is that about? It's sick.

''It's not powerful. It's not feminism. It's not about empowerment. It's a devaluation of women, to be frank. It's like self-molestation. It just makes me embarrassed. My daughters are pretty savvy and they're like, 'Yuck! Cringe!'."
