Singer Sharon Corr has blasted female singers who resort to wearing nearly nothing on stage.
The former Voice of Ireland judge can’t understand why women feel the need to “be naked” to sing.
She said: “I see so many overtly sexualised images these days and I wonder why women have to be naked in order to sing a song.
“My new record is a female album, I feel very strongly about representing women in a way that’s not negative; that tries to progress the female cause forwards rather than backwards.”

The Corrs star, 44, added that she is happy to push female sexuality on her new solo album.
She said: “Women are extremely stereotyped, my songs are not about being unfaithful, it’s about expressing the normal things that we feel and we think.
“Women are not shy and retiring about wanting our husbands or our partners or whoever it is. I don’t feel that way, it’s just that I hate the stereo-typing, women are so much more liberated than that.”

But Sharon does find it tough to juggle a music career and being a mum to Cathal, eight, and seven-year-old Flori – but wants to show them women can succeed.
“I love my kids so much, they are the most important thing to me but I can’t live without my music,” she told 2FM.
“I have this constant tug of war between them both, I try to balance it all and I have a very supportive husband.
“I want to show them what women can do in life and how you can succeed when you take life by the horns.”
