He’s the Brit Pop icon with fan base that includes ’21‘ singer Adele and ‘Next To Me’ darling Emeli Sande.
We’re talking about Gary Barlow of course, the well loved X Factor UK judge readying the release of his fourth solo album, set for launch on November 25th.
This week, well before the LP is unveiled, he has shared his thoughts on Pop Princesses Rihanna & Miley Cyrus, revealing that he has banned his children from watching their music videos.
During an interview set up to promote the release, he shared:
“Music is an expression and an art form and however they want to express it is fine. If you don’t want to watch it or listen to it, there’s an off button.These singers are young, sexy girls – of course they are going to express themselves like that, but I don’t let my kids watch it.”
“I probably wouldn’t let them watch anything like that, it’s too sexual for them.”

It makes sense though. You know when people say “stop blaming ______ for your slutty kids?” To me he’s just being a good parent and is probably waiting for them to get older to watch it.
Miley Cyrus album is the Worst album i’ve ever listen to in a very long time,there is only one song on that album(I adore you)
It’s his problem ,we don’t care
His kids are young which makes it easy, wait till they get to 12 and upwards.
Great parenting! I’m a Rihanna stan and if I had kids I wouldn’t let them watch some of her videos either! *Gives him a standing ovation*
Lol what has Beyonce’s video got to do with this Sam? Hmmmm… 😉
who is this?
the question would be who are you who doesnt know him, lol
Great parenting! I’m a Rihanna Stan and if I had kids I wouldn’t let them watch some of her videos either! *Gives him a standing ovation* Don’t complain or b**** about it…just turn it off! Simple.
I like Gary but his speaking voice drains me on X Factor
Rih and Miley are clearly the it girls. Stay getting that press. I definitely see a new Rihanna single dropping in the near future.
They’re getting press because they act controversial. Thats their aim.
your point being??? lol
It girls? More like controversial attention seeking girls. My little sister is 15 neither her nor her friends want to be slutty like them.
Yes, because we all care how you parent your children. Not sure why celebrities think the general public needs to know what their children are and are not allowed to do…
Lol u do realise that celebrities get asked topical questions during interviews don’t u? Do u honestly think he has just volunteered that information, like called up the Sun and said ‘here are my thoughts on Rihanna and Miley’…, I’m sure u are a lovely guy but u sound really naive.
Sorry was just in a mood this morning, had a midterm. I realize he didn’t volunteer this information, all the comments on the images of Miley and Rihanna and other’s like them just get old and tired. My bad though thanks for checking me, I can admit when I say dumb stuff!
No worries man! Hope you are Ace-ing those midterms!
Wise Parent!
Those 2 slutty singers aint good for no one’s kids
Too bad he couldn’t protect them from seeing Bey’s crotch shots that were thrust upon everyone Superbowl night. . . . .now there lies the shame
He doesnt want to protect them from Beyonce though. Hence why he didnt mention her name.
What about Britney p**** shots??? I’ve seen that s*** more than Kevin. She showed it off show much. I think something crawled n her c****** and that was what ran her ass crazy.
Do Rihanna fans not feel some type of way that Rihanna is officially in the same bracket as Miley Cyrus now? Lol
. . there are a lot of things in the “adult only” bracket. .sooo what’s the problem?
LOL you think grown ass adults are getting their life from Cyrus and Rihanna videos? Nah. Its just the desperate whores of the industry bracket.
I don’t group Miley with Rihanna. . . .try again TRY HARD
Let me guess… Thats because you’re a Rihanna fan? Sorry boo boo, but the rest of society does.
. . and you are the rest of society huh. . ..your delusions. . .they have meds for that now. . . .
. . you should be a Rihanna fan considering your fav stay getting paid dust. . . .maybe Bey will let her serve on one of their provate planes. . . she always was her loyal servant like Dobbie in Harry Potter
. . .and how long has she been in the industry trying? What’s her excuse? She sings about getting her c*&t ate and still gets paid NO ATTENTION
The headlines are self explanatory ‘Miley AND Rihanna’
Hence the reason they loose their minds ALL THE TIME.
. .did you detect any lies in what I said? No. . . . .so before you want to label my fav a w**** read the lyrics of your sad fav. . . .my favs not the one singing about c******* which still kept her basically. . . .basic and on the fried chicken circuit Beyonce has designated her to . . . . pulease
@Richi Rich IKR!
Is Kelly in anybody’s bracket tho?
Duh. Stop letting the tv raise your kids. Rihanna’s videos aren’t even that sexual when you think about it. Other than “S&M” and PIU, what uber sexual videos have she had?
Its not just sexual, its drug references (See WFL) slapping her tattooed ass naked in a thong, popping pills, the lyrics in some of the songs, too “As we moonshine & molly” they do not censor those words on the radio
its not all about parenting, u can not watch ur child 24/7 and if they have internet or a phone they can go watch Rihanna w**** herself on social media, too
I hate when ppl say “dont let them watch____”
You’re right. You cannot watch your child 24/7 but you can instill values/morals into them. I grew up watching Janet, Hot Boys, No Limit, Madonna, Lil Kim but I came out fine because my parents RAISED ME CORRECTLY….and I am hoping the same for my son!!!
clap, clap!
A lot of parents do stuff like that it’s there business , His children will probably see them at some point.
Now that’s parenting. . . .I wouldn’t let my kids watch some of those videos either. . .so what’s the problem, Sam? They are kids. .Rihanna isn’t for the kiddies. . . . . more or less. Some of her songs are ok. . like Diamond but for the most part, she’s for the grown and s***. . . . .
U mean for the dirty filthy drug headed s**** like her. You’re so damn delusional b****. Its actually funny lmfaooo
You need your meds fast. . . Amanda B #2
I just saw that JJfan what what b****’s real name on its e-mail
Its called Ajaja ? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha. The fuque is AJAJA ?? Hahahahahahah!
Basic Bitche with MOST basic name ever!!!!!! AJAJA!!! Hahaaaaaaaaaaa!
Loooool. How can you diss someone’s name?
LMfaooooooooooooooooooo. Bwahahahaawahahaahahahahahahhaahahahahahahhaahahahahahahaha
Death
lmao!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha! OMG you’re a b*tch
Good for him, its his problem how he wants to raise his kids. But I feel like if your kids have good enough morals, stability and boundaries instilled in them then it doesnt need to be made an issue. Sometimes, the more you hide, the more intruiged they become. Obviously, I wouldnt want my niece watching PIU but we dont go out of out way to turn off the TV everytime a Rihanna video comes on. And you wont be able to hide them once they using the internet. And the older they get, the more space they are entitled too. And thats the even more impressionable age because they are knowing of s** and drugs. Theres no way, no matter how in control you think you are. People will talk at school, use their phones and so on.
THIS!!!! I loved Lil Kim as a youngster/t*** but I didn’t grow up to be a w****. It’s all about good parenting. BE A PARENT. Your are supposed to be your child’s first role model. Talk to your freaking kids. They may roll their eyes or huff and puff but they wiiillllll listen…..
Its funny how society is up in arms about s** but push gays up in our children face wow rihanna have nothing to do with you all acting like white society is so pure go worry about going to hell when god come for his world pushing gayism in our face leave rihanna alone and stop grouping her with miley montanna
Kids shouldn’t be watching some of Rihanna’s video (all of them aren’t sexual and drug related)…and Miley is just too wild now. It’s not a shade or a diss…if most of you had children I would hope you try to mentor and filter what they watch.
I am confusted as to why Sam posted Beyonce’s video…Ummm I’m pretty sure she prances around in a leotard with her ass, tits, cand cooch out!
Good! Miley Cyrus and Rihanna are on another level of nastiness. But the difficult part is, its the KIDS mainly who are into them.
Uhoh Rihanna. I sense a backlash brewing!
Ppl arnt dragging Gaga about being naked cuz she actually has talent…just saying.
Oh she gets dragged. . .rest assured. . but right now she’s an industry joke and no one’s paying her dust. . . . .kiii
Just like that empty head walking of the dead b**** u stan for
She gets dragged by ppl that don’t understand her art. Rest assure they don’t drag her for her talent. Many artists have gimmicks to stay relevant so that fact u only drag one person in the Industry when there is many is also a joke. Plz save it.
Don’t you have a calendar to buy or an education to catch up on?
No honey. I’m good but the real question is? Don’t u have some tickets to buy to someone’s Las Vegas show? I hear the s*** is FLOPPING gurl.
. . my fav making movies. . selling out cosmetics lines. . fashion lines. . .setting trends. . .breaking records. . . . .and keeping those other gowrls pressed and scurred. . . .
that would be Rihanna
Good for him.
Hes got the right idea. As long as he doesnt make it too much of an issue. Kids never bounce off parents that talk AT them rather than WITH them.
“Music is an expression and an art form and however they want to express it is fine. If you don’t want to watch it or listen to it, there’s an off button.”
AMEN.
Lol at u saying amen when u have dragged Gaga for expressing her art. Hypocrite. But I’m sure if it was Rihanna doing what Gaga is doing u would call it art as well.
I’ve dragged Gaga because she won’t let her music speak for itself , she literally takes a shovel and try to shove down our throat that everything she does is so revolutionary and artistic , when she’s just a copy cat thieving generic obnoxious bafoon.
Not true. It may be that u don’t find her type of music appealing. But doesn’t matter. She’s sold millions and actually writes her s***.
Similarities:
Both have short hair
Both have flat cakes
Both like showing their naked bodies to the whole galaxy (including Rih’s native E.T.’s)
Both include their daily pornstar positions on they suck, shake and swallow Performances.
Legends! Our favs could never
You forget they are talentless.
YES BAN THE CUMBUCKET SLITS
I have read the article twice and I’m struggling to see where Gary has mentioned Rihanna or Miley. Smh, someone is thirsty for hits.
Nope, your fav is too busy making Ass shots for a local fireman calendar.
How do you go on a world tour only to promote a calendar, I just can’t, I really can’t.
Rihc*nt u mad its out grossing R****’s FLopiamond Drunken Tour. #SEEEEETH FAT B****
FINISH HA!!!!!
B**** u just continue to seeeeeeth over their bwahahahhaahhahaha
. . . chhh the reach of the Hive is real just like their fav with that calendar. . . .
But no one is complaining about beyonce tho #PawDat.
And he was asked specifically about Miley and Rihanna if you read the full interview, he is refering to them.
U mean the calender that will outsell Shitneys new album????
But I’ll bet he let’s himself watch Seancody and Corbin Fisher videos. Giving me repressed white f** T’s
Bwahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahaha U mad huh b****??? Gary don’t give a fawk about u being pressed over some 2 cents h***. #STAY MAD C*NT
Why are British people on here trying to sound American?
Good for Gary!
That’s the operative word…a leotard. She has yet to twerk in a damn GSTRING, on camera.
. . she was twerking, p-poppin in a dominatrix outfit on a Sunday night. . . . .I mean. . .I mean. . . ._/ _/ _/
Or did you forget the lap dance she did on stage. . .a married woman. . . _/ _/ _/. .if that wasn’t twerking. . .or at least an attempt at it then chhhh
Good for him, yes, it’s HIS job to make sure HIS kids doesn’t watch these kind of videos. Other parents should take notes, not just in music and entertainment, but take charge of their children schooling, behavior and so on.
With that said, I’m a grown man, don’t censor my entertainment because you have dumb kids and lacking parents and they don’t know the difference from tv and real life.
Rihanna was never targeted to young kids, so she’s doing nothing different from J.p, Janet, Beyonce and so on. What makes Miley so bad is just a few years ago, she was targeted to 5 to 14 yr olds and I can see a child still seeing her as Hanna. It’s really a case of be a bad girl, take a chance of being the next Lohan and have press or be a good girl, have no press like Duff. But you can tell she’s just doing it for show, I actually believe she does have it all planed. We’ll see I guess.
PREACH. . . .CHUUURCH. .. .
I think that Rihanna’s PIU video release was a bad idea smh. The fact that she is now competing for this “ratchet attention” with Miley is sad. It just proves that this “reign” that her fans speak of is up for grabs. And why tf do you guys keep bringing Beyonce into this? C****** shots? Ass shots? The woman wears a damn leotard with multiple pairs of stocking under…like a lot of dancers. As for dancing, well at least her routines consist of actual footwork and challenging choreo, like Run the World, End of Time or Single Ladies, as opposed to merely walking up and down the damn stage while p**** patting. Does Beyonce take s*** pics? Yes. Does she have sensual performances? Yes. As does Jlo, Janet, Madonna, Shakira…hell! Mariahs a straight up vocalist and she even has s** appeal. They are all s***. They have yet however, twerked in a damn GSTRING…for all to see. Rihanna is officially in the same boat ass Miley and that’s sad as f***.
@JESS, U and MARK111 are the same person, its obvious! Stop trying to get your point across using different user names!
I won’t take the time to tell you how wrong you are. I bet you think that MJ and Janet are the same person as well. I’m not gonna free you, I’m gonna let you and Digger B**** sit you y’all delusion.
Yessss Spill it. They trying to drag THE QUEEN in this because they don’t want R**** to look like the only s***. But she is. THE QUEEN take s*** pics but they never go to far. Her outfits on stage are the same way. The dancing stays street but s***. Now Rihoeanna screams SLUUUUUUUUUUUUT! P**** pat downs. Acting like the mic is an d*** on stage. Attention Whoring on Twitter and Instagram all the time. And fawkin 10 to 20 men daily. The W**** is Straight C** in the Alley.
King B stays flawless and she inspires people.
R**** only knows how to be a s***

. . but a bdsm outfit is ok?. .Two times has she actually wore such things–the second in this calendar when she a** poppin (the photo used to promote the calendar). . you do know the bdsm lifestyle is where rubber or vinyl panties come from, don’t you?. . . . .but you have issues with faux g-strings. . . .chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

These stars like Rihanna and Miley should be ashamed of themselves. Its disgusting the s*** they’re subjecting kids to. Stuff for adults should stay for adults and stuff for kids should stay for kids. The line is being blurred way too much nowadays.
I do not agree with this style of parenting, but to each it’s own. We all know how the preacher’s kids, and little catholic school girls turn out..u hide things from them, it makes them want it more…b real, and open with your kids…it works actually, b/c u have trust, and they want to let you in more…BUT hey, its his life…
Why would he? Which parent would let his child visually abused by slutanna???
We need real artists like Beyonce to teach young girls to be proud of them.
And OH! Miley has better vocals than r****
s*** they probably already watched it
Rihanna has been doing raunchy s*** for the longest so why is everyone acting brand-new all of a sudden? What he said really don’t have nothing to do with rihanna it has more to do with him feeling embarrassed by miley cyrus VMA performance — so as a way to ease the embarrassment “Lets call out rihanna too” Right? GTFOH Dude. Miley started her own fire so let miley put her own s*** out and leave rihanna out of that mess and out of your mouth just because miley shamed you. Miley was on that stage – Not rihanna so stop using rihanna as a DEFLECTION.
As a matter of fact LADY-GAGA have her ass out on display more than rihanna that’s how i know dude is full of s*** but he tried to play it strategically which is why he purposely didn’t mention Lady Gaga but mentioned rihanna. Miley shamed a lot of white people and she caught a lot of heat for it so he wasn’t about to put another white girl under the micro-scope that would be a bit too much … Right? So who does he mention out of the bunch? Rihanna A “BLACK WOMAN” FOH DUDE – Miley made her bed so let her lie in it.
