Gaga's too sexy for her fans says Dame Joan

Joan Bakewell, the woman once dubbed “the thinking man’s crumpet”, has helped create a flurry of new headlines after taking a swipe at “over-sexualised” images portrayed by performers like Lady Gaga.
The 78-year-old Baroness said that raunchy pop routines were “absolutely extraordinary.”
Adding that “over-sexing” pop videos could lead to disappointment when young people started experiencing sex lives of their own.
“They are going to do it badly because they are going to be jumping around like some raunchy singer, she told reporters.
Bakewell, who was launching her latest novel She’s Leaving Home, admitted she had been less than impressed by a Lady Gaga concert she had seen on TV, claiming that the singer played up the raunch to such a degree that it rather spoilt the show.
This afternoon she took to Twitter to explain that she certainly wasn’t suggeseting that the Sainted Gaga lacked talent.
“I'm in trouble for attacking Lady Gaga! But its the sexualising of music seen by young girls I hate. Gaga is a great entertainer.” she tweeted.
Dame Joan is certainly no prude. In the sixties she was considered one of THE voices of the permissive society, speaking freely on sex, contraception, abortion, women’s rights and social justice.
Some of those who felt she was a wild child of the post war feminist era may be a little surprised to hear that she now claims that she learnt all about sex from romantic films like Gone With The Wind.
It will give them yet another subject to ask about when she appears in An Audience With Joan Bakewell at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford on January 10.
