Beyonce may be raunchier than ever - but you don't have to watch her

This is how she rolls

Beyonce is the latest songstress coming under fire for being too sexy in her European tour.

Well my advice is, if you don't like it, don't go. And certainly don't take your kids.

Her steamy pre-watershed Grammy performance with
hubby Jay-Z in January prompted thousands of complaints from parents in
the US who felt their kids shouldn't be subjected to what was basically
foreplay at 8pm on live TV.

Admittedly her routine wouldn't have
looked out of place at any local pole dancing club, and why any woman
would want to wear a thong and gyrate suggestively with her husband in
front of millions of people is beyond me.

But that Grammy performance should have rung alarm bells for any parents who had tickets to Beyonce's tour.

Beyonce has gone all sexy on us

 If she is willing to do that on live telly in front of the world,
imagine what she will be like in the relative privacy of an arena with
just 20,000 people there?

And Queen Bey
isn't the first and she certainly won't be the last pop star to get her
kit off and writhe around a bit to sell a few records. Madonna, Janet
Jackson, Britney Spears, Christine Aguilera and Rihanna have all been at
it for years.

When you go and see one of their shows, you pretty much know it is going to be raunchy. So you make your choice.

What
parents can't get away from though are the lyrics in the songs played
on the radio that our kids sing along to in the car everyday.

“I'm
up all night to Get Lucky”, “You know you want it”, “Sticks and stones
may break my bones but chains and whips excite me”, they sing along
oblivious to what those words mean as I cringe quietly in the driver's
seat.

I was 11 when Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax was banned by the BBC because of the overtly sexual nature of the lyrics.

If they took that stance now the radio would be practically silent.

But what does make me angry is when pop that is marketed purely at kids often oversteps the mark.

When
my daughters are singing along in the car to The Vamps “I talk a lot of
s**t when I'm drinking, I'm known to go a little too fast”, while One
Direction's Live While We're Young tells them “Don't let those pictures
leave your phone”, it makes me feel that the music industry, not my
kids, needs to grow up.
