La Roux has slammed RnB music, labelling it "empty" and "lyrically really bad".
The chart-topping singer - whose real name is Elly Jackson - told BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat: "It's very kind of empty, like hollow and not rooted in anything good or healthy.
"Lyrically it's just like really really bad - I think a lot of it just doesn't mean anything."
She went on: "I think a lot of it is, 'Baby I love you, I want to kiss you.' It's just like, 'What are you on about? Shut up.' It certainly doesn't make me feel anything special, or doesn't make me think, or go somewhere else in my mind. I just don't get it."
Elly, who is at No 1 with Bulletproof, also has a problem with the outfits associated with the music.
"The clothes... I just think it's like basically naked," she moaned.
"It has been like that since the 90s, it's not just now. I just don't think it's good and there's lots of girls in pop that are 17/18-years-old and they're half naked and it's just 'why?' And you wonder if you weren't half naked, would you be selling any records? Which obviously is just wrong."
She added: "You shouldn't be selling records because you're half naked - if you want to do that, be a porn star."
I wish some people would just keep their mouths shut.
RnB is hardly my favourite genre either, but I don't feel the need to go badmouthing it. I'm sure a lot of RnB singers don't like her music either, but as far as I know, none of them have said anything about it to the extent of what she's just said. Congratulations La Roux, you've got yourself a bit of publicity out of all this, which I suppose is an alright thing if you dont mind sounding like a narrowminded tit.
