Ellie Goulding has said that she feels you don’t need to dress in your underwear to be a successful singer!

The singer said in a recent interview that her industry peers are being too overtly sexy:

‘I don’t have anything against being sexy. If a popstar exposes herself or doesn’t wear a lot, it doesn’t really bother me the way it bothers other people. I feel like people are less fussed about it in America, whereas in the UK people are a little more reserved. But if someone’s making good music, I don’t care about anyone else.’

Ellie then talked about her peers and said that you don’t need to dress like a ‘skank’ to be successful.

She said:

‘Some of the most successful girls don’t portray themselves as sex symbols. Lorde is doing exceptionally well - she’s been number one in America for ages and she doesn’t dress like a skank. Lily Allen is doing really well and she doesn’t dress provocatively. If you make good music, then that’s all you need.’

Ellie is a good role model.

She never hardly flashes the flesh and is always covered up and she’s successful so it’s good to hear her giving advice out.
