The Christian Institute has voiced alarm over how Christina Aguilera appeared on stage with backing dancers wearing nothing but bras, knickers and suspenders. Their provocative dance routine at times simulated sex and has been likened by critics to pornography...the Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone said that the lewd performances by US pop stars Rihanna and Christina Aguilera on Saturday night’s X Factor final...the minister said the show were unsuitable for the show’s legions of young fans....the sexualised routines have sparked over 3,000 complaints from viewers....although Rihanna’s skimpily clad performance of “What’s My Name” has caused concern among viewers, the outrage appears to be directed mostly at Aguilera’s performance of her new song “Express”, from the soundtrack of big screen musical “Burlesque”, in which she stars. Simon Calvert, of the Christian Institute, said ITV had made a “catastrophically bad error of judgement” in allowing the production to go out before the watershed.....He expressed concern over the effect of such performances on young people in particular....“Lots of people are concerned and parents are particularly concerned about the effect this kind of thing has on their sons and daughters,” he said.....“Daughters are made to feel that this is a normal way to behave in public and sons are taught to expect women to behave like that. It is very unhealthy.”
