Over sexualised female pop stars have left Adele\u2019s record label boss feeling \u2018queasy\u2019, and he has slammed the \u2018faux porn\u2019 music.<\/p>\n

Singers such as Rihanna and Christina Aguilera, who have both channelled bondage themes in recent work, have focused on their sexuality over music, he feels.<\/p>\n

Leading record executive Richard Russell, who is the founder of label XL Records, says their sexuality has led to \u2018boring, crass and unoriginal music\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/p>\n

Classic style: Adele has become a worldwide phenomenon for her music, without resulting to an overtly sexualised image<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Russell told the Guardian: \u2018The whole message with [Adele] is that it\u2019s just music, it\u2019s just really good music.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is nothing else. There are no gimmicks, no selling of sexuality. I think in the American market, particularly, they have come to the conclusion that is what you have to do.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Adele\u2019s classic style hasn\u2019t hindered her record sales at all, considering her second album, 21, has spent 15 of the last 17 weeks at No 1.<\/p>\n

In comparison to Adele\u2019s hits, such as Rolling in the Deep, Rihanna\u2019s lyrics include such lines as: \u2018Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me\u2019, from her single S&M.<\/p>\n

\"Inappropriate<\/p>\n

Inappropriate attire? Rihanna and Britney Spears dressed in bondage gear while singing S&M at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards last week<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Even at last week\u2019s Billboard Music Awards Rihanna and Britney Spears sparked complaints after putting on a raunchy performance in bondage gear.<\/p>\n

The two pop stars were chained together while in matching black and white bodysuits and kissed on stage in front of millions of viewers as they sang S&M.<\/p>\n

The Parents Television Council called the performance in Nevada a \u2018Vegas stripper show\u2019 and said it was totally unsuitable for young children.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the council said: \u2018The overtly sexualised performance by Rihanna and Britney Spears was no accident or mishap, but a deliberate effort to target teens with images and lyrics that glamorize whips, chains and other sexual fantasies.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Children<\/p>\n

Children friendly? Their on stage kiss sparked complaints from The Parents Television Council, who thought it was inappropriate for younger audiences<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Russell also said he was shocked while watching a recent MTV show featuring female artists, as each video used \u2018faux porn\u2019 imagery.<\/p>\n

\u2018I felt a bit queasy\u2019, he said. \u2018But now you can see that Adele is No 1. What a great thing, how amazing. Not only are young girls going to see that, but [also] the business people who are behind all those videos.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s going to make them rethink what they should be doing.\u2019<\/p>\n

The record executive, who worked with Prodigy in the 1990s, added: \u2018I think there has been a certain amount of confusion, and it\u2019s resulting in garbage being sold and marketing with little real value to it\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Music or image? Adele says that a sexualised image doesn’t go with her music, while Rihanna plays up to her feminine prowess<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Adele is a good thing to be happening.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 23-year-old Adele recently told Q Magazine that a sexualised image didn\u2019t fit in with her music.<\/p>\n

But added: \u2018If you\u2019ve got it, flaunt it, if it works with your music. But I can\u2019t imagine having guns and whipped cream coming out of my tits.<\/p>\n

\u2018Even if I had Rihanna\u2019s body, I\u2019d still be making the music I make and that don\u2019t go together.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Shocking:<\/p>\n

Shocking: Record executive Richard Russell said he felt ‘queasy’ over some female music artists today<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
