Nicole Scherzinger, Rihanna And Lady Gaga Blamed For Pop Porn

Songwriter Mike Stock has claimed that pop music is making "a slow but unmistakable descent into pornography".

The songwriter, who was behind the launch of Kylie Minogue's pop career with his hits as part of Stock, Aitken and Waterman, has blamed stars such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Nicole Scherzinger for their overtly-sexual behaviour.

Stock believes that as pop artists they are among those to blame, who "have taken sexualised imagery, dance moves and lyrical content way beyong the limits of decency".

The Government-commissioned Bailey Report, which was published earlier this month, suggested that some music videos should be reserved for an older audience by playing after a certain time.

In his open letter to broadcasters and Ofcom, Stock wrote: "With the BBC iPlayer and the internet as your platform, you can watch last night's TV at this morning's breakfast. Young people all know how to use these features."

Nicole Scherzinger's performance on 'Britain's Got Talent' was singled out as an example of "overtly sexual content on a family show".

Stock said that using sex to sell music is an easy way out for record labels, who should be taking more responsibility. He explained: "As far as music is concerned, it has been a slow but unmistakable descent into pornography. Why? Because it's easy. Put some sexualised dancing and scantily-clad females in the video, and get it on the box. Job done."
