We Could Get Used to This, Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox isn't done skewering Beyonce for her overtly sexual performances and distasteful musical "lyrics" -- and she's happy that her first go at the Queen Bey has resonated with so many people -- in either negative or positive ways -- so she's gonna keep on keeping on ... and we're just thrilled about that. 

In a recent interview, Lennox elaborated on her prior comments about Beyonce not being a feminist: 

"Listen, twerking is not feminism. ... 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 feelings about it. ... The reason why I've commented is because I think this overt sexuality thrust -- literally -- at particular audiences, when often performers have a very, very young audience ... I find it disturbing and think it's exploitative. It's troubling. I'm coming from a perspective of a woman that's had children." 

Annie concluded by saying, "Maybe this is a good thing because it creates debate."

Man. Intelligent celebrity feuds. They're just so refreshing -- even if the intelligence is only one-sided -- aren't they?
