Bette Midler has slammed Ariana Grande’s raunchy stage antics, saying the 21-year-old singer doesn’t need to make a “whore” out of herself to succeed in the music business. Midler told The Telegraph newspaper:
“It’s terrible! It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch… looking so ridiculous. It’s not my business, I’m not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that’s what you’ve got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold.
Midler also said that singers now do:
“whatever you feel like. Apparently people really like to pretend they’re having sex. They really like to slap each other’s butts. I don’t know what the end game is going to be. I don’t know where you go from all that sex in your twenties. I don’t know how you sustain it.”
The 68-year-old actress advised women trying to make it in the entertainment industry to “trust your talent. You don’t have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead. You really don’t.”
