To think that the song Nicole Whatserface sang on BGT was obscene.

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

And shouldn't have been on a family tv show? I know it was after nine but there must have been millions of kids watching.
It was all about her body being touched, someone going down down down, keeping her coming and talking dirty to her.
I am not usually so prudish, but I found it really offensive.

[DoMeDon]

YANBU - am sick of sexual/violent songs blurting out all over the shop. You cannot escape - in lifts/town - they were playing Rihanna at play place the other day and I asked them to switch over. Not on exposing DC to it - and people wonder why DC are growing up too quick. Sexualisation of DC is my biggest annoyance ATM!

[claig]

It's classic "epater le bourgeois" and that is why it is always done on family programmes at peak time with the highest audiences, so that the epatement can reach its height.

[purpleknittingmum]

I found her accent really weird, and yes very over sexual dancing

[transferbalance]

I remember singing My Sharona when i was 8 or 9

agree about Rihanna though, she's a bit much, but she isn't trying to be a role model

[CountBapula]

Just watched it. Urgh. Gross. And it's a shit song anyway. Depressing.

I was also at the bit at the beginning when the judges were introduced and the camera started at Amanda Holden's ankles and slowly crept up to her face. Like something out of a Carry On film

[SuburbanDream]

YANBU. I let my 9 year old stay up to watch the final and definitely thought it was a bit much for a show that is so obviously aimed at families. I'm sure there were many young children watching the final who would normally be in bed by then. Luckily DS seemed oblivious, I think he went off and did something else while she was singing!!

[SauvignonBlanche]

I'm no prude but I was shocked. I was watching with my dcs, youngest 10yrs old.
I had the subtitles on so could see all the words, I quickly turned the subs off until she had shut up.
It was awful.

[claig]

'Why on earth did they let her perform it?'

It's deliberate

[ScarlettIsWalking]

.."he does think whats my name is a song for his nana "

bless

[NotShortImFunSized]

I'm don't mind most things but this was bloody outrageous.

She looked like she thought she was in a strip club. Singing was shite too. As for the actual song words

I'm glad the kids were in bed, even dp was shocked, much to my amazement

Why on earth did they let her perform it?

[Wolfgirl]

I thought it was awful, and when kids do Catch up TV... will not allow them to watch (not that they would know too well what she was insinuating.... but the sexual dancing was O.O.O)

As was Rhiannon and Christina on X factor. Shame on ITV producers to allow it. Wrong, wrong, W R O N G!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FreudianSlipper]

he sings along to milk by kol along with others. i do not have any of rhiannas music but think she is great to watch though he does think whats my name is a song for his nana :o i agree i would not be happy with soem lyrics being sung by him but much will go over his head and the stuff that is not obvious does not bother me

i was bought up on the beatles, jimi hendrix, cream, marvin gaye and their are plenty of explicit naughty goings on in their music its just not as obvious and as for nirvana what about all the references to death and drugs

i guess its not what the song is about its the way its done

[Karbea]

I should probably know this but... but is there a watershed for radio stations? Or is it just TV, or is 9 the watershed for all?
If so, that and many pop songs shouldn't be allowed due to adult content, surely?

[claig]

Peanut, I agree entirely.

[DontCallMePeanut]

This is why I gave up listening to "pop". I'll stick to my emo/indie/punk... Not quite so bothered if DS sings about rebelling against capitalism, and a love lost... Not about sexual preferences

Anyway, yes, sex sells... But it shouldn't do, and it DEFINITELY should not be used in a predominantly youth based market.

[rainbowinthesky]

Even ds (15) thought it was a vile, inappropriate song for a family show. Led to a good discussion about women and sexuality though.

[ScarlettIsWalking]

smokin I remember that song

"and if you cry out I'm gonna do it some mo-o-re"

Freud I have to disagree with you though. The fact that 3YO doesn't fully understand the meaning of, say Rhianna's "Sex in the air I love the smell of it" doesn't make it acceptable or less disturbing to be singing along or learning the words. There is raunchy/ sexy and then plain revolting.

[smokinaces]

YANBU, I was only half listening but it made me look up and be shocked.

But, its nothing new really. I remember being 8 or 9, riding round on my bike singing "girl I wanna make you sweat, sweat till you cant sweat no more" from the early 90s - had no idea what the sexual connotations to that song were, but several adults must have cringed at the time!!

[FreudianSlipper]

the latest member of simon cowels harem, they all look like little dolls dressed up for his pleasure

anyway the song is pants, i am not that bothered by teh lyrics many songs that are considered good or great music have violent or explicit lyrics but its very obvious the shock factor has long gone and its boring, lazy song writing

i love rhianna i think she is great, she is not aiming her act toward young girls so should not need to tone down her act but if i had a yong daughter i would be that happy her singing along with some of her songs. luckily my ds loves kings of leon, some of the lyrics are absolute filth but its hard to understand what is being sung so not worried jsut yet and he is only 3

[ohsolonely]

Vile is what I thought. I am no prude and on another TV show would have enjoyed it but BGT would have had millions kids up late allowed to watch the final, an idiot knows that. The TV company know this, but obviously do not give a shit and thought they would air it anyway. Another reason for me to hate BGT and Xfactor type shows. More than happy to accommodate all the kids and young teens who will text in their votes and make them money but CBA to accommodate their needs at just past 9pm on a Saturday night.

I hate Rhianna too. Talented woman but FFS - yes love you have a Fnjo - so bloody what, we all do!!! Hate her even more especially since my 10yo DD has started singing "Chains and whips excite me" FFS!!!! Thats thanks to having the radio on. Makes me cringe to see my DD and her mates happily singing along, with no idea what they are actually singing iykwim.

[SequinsAndSparkles]

I agree. But not sure why people are surprised by this. The Pussycat Dolls songs were not exactly feminist anthems.

Can I remind you of -
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?
Don't cha?

And - 'When I Grow Up':
Now I've got a confession
When I was young I wanted attention
And I promised myself that I?d do anything
Anything at all for them to notice me.

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

Nicole and the other Pussycat Dolls were only ever supposed to be marketed as sexy. The pussycat doll was a burlesque show in Vegas beforehand. They make me cringe, and it certainly isn't something I enjoy young children listening to. But it seems like it's just so acceptable these days

[mrsscoob]

I thought the same and I am glad its not just me, I thought I was getting old!

I also didn't see the point of her on the show, she has no connection to BGT wouldn't it have been better to have a past act on there like they did the night before with Diversity and JLS, who I thought were really good.

[StuckInTheMiddleWithYou]

It's a shite program, why be shocked when it spouts crap?

Getting upset out this, is the moralistic equivelent of living on junk food and then moaning about getting fat.

Seriously, this kind of tabloid tv is deliberately set at the lowest possible common denominator.

[WhatsWrongWithYou]

I heard this on the radio yesterday afternoon, had DD 13 and DS 10 in the car. I remember thinking I dread to think what the video will be like if I'm cringeing just at the lyrics.

I think I heard on the news recently that music videos are going to be rated like films as there's so many that are explicit. My DCs don't seem to be interested in MTV etc, thankfully, but some of the ones I see at the gym are not far short of porn.

[QueenofDreams]

O I was shocked by the lyrics as well. utterly disgusting, is there really any need for that? And why was she trying to sound Jamaican? Me like this, 'me like' that?
