The legendary Scottish singer was asked in a recent interview to further explain comments she made earlier this year that Beyonce was not a 'feminist,' but rather a 'feminist lite.'

She said:
'It's not – it's not liberating, it's not empowering. It's a sexual thing that you're doing on a stage; it doesn't empower you. That's my feeling about it.'


'The reason why I've commented is because I think that this overt sexual ity thrust — literally — at particular audiences, when very often performers have a very, very young audience, like 7 years older, I find it disturbing and I think its exploitative. It's troubling. I'm coming from a perspective of a woman that's had children,' she explained.
