Children
At Growing Risk From Pop Charts Porn
The man who helped launch the career of Kylie Minogue yesterday condemned modern pop culture for 'sexualising' youngsters. Mike Stock, one third of the legendary pop factory Stock, Aitken and Waterman, said: 'The music industry has gone too far. It's not about me being old fashioned. It's about keeping values that are important in the modern world. 'These days you can't watch modern stars - like Britney Spears or Lady Gaga - with a two-year-old. 'Ninety-nine per cent of the charts is R 'n' B and 99 per cent of that is soft pornography.' He continued: 'Kids are being forced to grow up too young. Look at the videos. I wouldn't necessarily want my young kids to watch them. 'I would certainly be embarrassed to sit there with my mum.' Mr Stock, 58, pictured below, was behind the rise of Miss Minogue in the late 1980s when she stormed the charts with I Should Be So Lucky. In the accompanying video, she wore a simple black cocktail dress. The lyrics were similarly innocent. In contrast, 24-year-old Lady Gaga, who burst on to the scene two years ago, has regularly used crude metaphors in her lyrics as well as posing in revealing outfits. Mr Stock believes that today's children are being 'sexualised' as a result of images put out by the pop industry of stars such as Lady Gaga.
