London, March 2 : Veteran Scottish pop star Lulu, 60, has slammed the music industry for exploiting present-day singers as sex symbols.
She said that young female artists were being forced to dress in sexy outfits and perform provocative acts.
She blasted industry bosses saying that semi-naked routines-like those performed by the Pussycat Dolls, Katy Perry and Girls Aloud-had become more important for them than the music itself.
