Lady Gaga 'Applause' Isn't Given By Sophie Ellis-Bextor; She Bashes Mother Monster While Saying Women Are Forced To Be Overtly Sexy

While discussing how women are forced to be overtly sexy, Sophie Ellis-Bextor managed to bash Lady Gaga in the process.






Bextor told The Sunday Telegraph that she is happy that she had sons instead of daughters due to the way women are forced to be overtly sexy in pop culture.






"Girls are encouraged to put their sexuality out there as an empowering thing," she said. "But that can also put you on the back foot. It would be a really sensitive issue if you have a girl that's anywhere from about eight to 18."






This was followed up by her insulting Gaga by suggesting that the Mother Monster puts herself out there way too much.






"I wouldn't want to thrust myself in people's faces like Lady Gaga," she said. "I loved her theatricality initially, but four years on, it looks exhausting and she looks exhausted. You know, she's clomping around in heel-less shoes and a meat dress, then Adele comes along and sells billions of records without doing any of that stuff. I just think the only thing you can do is find your own niche and do what works for you."






In addition, she talked about the difference between Madonna then and Miley Cyrus now.






"When I was 15, we had the ladette culture and Wonderbras and things like More! magazine with its Position of the Fortnight feature. And there were as many debates about Madonna then as there are about Miley Cyrus now. But Madonna always seemed to be in control of what she was doing – that's what I always liked about her when I was growing up. She had her own agenda, and was like, 'Screw you if you don't get it,' and I thought that was pretty cool."
