Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera criticised by Stacie Orrico.

TEEN POP star Stacie Orrico spoke out about the overtly sexual image of pop stars Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Speaking to journalists before the MTV Asia Awards in Singapore, she told them that it worried her to see young girls emulating Spears and Aguilera. "The reason that I don't dress trashy is that I'm trying to set an example for little girls. From the time they're seven or eight years old (girls) are being taught that the only thing that makes them special and beautiful is their sexuality and I think that's wrong."

Orrico, wearing a loose, long-sleeved white shirt and jeans, said she doesn't approve of the revealing clothes sported by Spears and Aguilera. "I don't think that's sexy, I think its degrading," the bubbly 17 year old said. "I think that (being) a truly sexy woman come from being confident and being classy, respectable and mature." The singer also weighed in on Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident at the Super Bowl, calling the stunt "unnecessary." "I definitely don't think that she's a good example," Orrico said.
