Where’s the criticism of cis men’s misogyny (calling women b*****s) or cis women performing sexualised femininity in music videos? ‘Let’s be real, Sam Smith is criticised for producing a transgressive, sexualised music video due to homophobia, queerphobia & transphobia.

[Sam Smith](https://metro.co.uk/tag/sam-smith/)’s new music video is the talk of the internet at the moment, with many music fans astounded by its NSFW nature.

Smith's new music video 'I'm Not Here to Make Friends' has caused a stir online and was debated on Good Morning Britain.

I'm old enough to remember the 80s music video scene. It’s in music videos, it's in fast fashion that’s being marketed to teens and we also live in an age where we know people are getting sexually assaulted at school,” Phillips said. That would have blown her mind. That was 1983. I do get strong Prince Charming vibes though...looks like it was a hoot to film.” Sam, bless 'em, barely twitches the 'controversy' needle!

So the music video is obviously queer and sexualised – hardly unusual given other iconic videos which have been a little more on the raunchy side – but some Twitter users have become upset over the four minutes of footage, branding it “vulgar” and “disgusting”. The video has sparked plenty of discussion on social mediaSam Smith [their latest album ](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/sam-smith-gloria-review-b2269894.html) [Gloria](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/sam-smith-gloria-review-b2269894.html) on Friday by uploading a video for the track, which is a collaboration with producer and musician Calvin Harris and the Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez. However, it appears the main upset from people averse to the idea of fun and glamour is what follows, when Smith can be seen sporting sparkly headwear and gloves along with a corset.

Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley was helming a discussion on Sam Smith's latest music video in the ITV studio, alongside co-host Susanna Reid ...

The three-time Brit winner told Apple Music 1: “It’s been crazy to be in New York and LA, because I feel like I can dress and be myself more in these cities than I can at home. In an emotional interview, Sam said: “What people don’t realise with trans/ non-binary people in the UK is it’s happening in the street. The guest then interjected to inform Richard that they also use they/them pronouns, prompting a sheepish Richard to apologise once again. Then later in the interview, as the panel discussed the music video and whether it was over-sexualised, Richard again made a pronoun mishap as he said the guest 'had a point'. Yet as Richard introduced the segment he made an initial blunder as he listed the scenes in the music video and referred to Sam, who used they/them pronouns, as ‘he’. Sat next to Richard, Susanna was forced to cut in and remind Richard of the fact, prompting an apology from the presenter.

Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid was quick to correct Richard Madeley over Sam Smith's non-binary pronouns.

Speaking to Apple Music 1, they said: ‘What people don’t realise with trans non-binary people in the UK is it’s happening in the street. The Stay With Me singer, 30 announced they were non-binary back in 2019 and asked people to use they/them pronouns.

Richard Madeley referred to Sam Smith, who uses they/them pronouns, as “he” on ITV Good Morning Britain on Monday.

Smith revealed they were non-binary in 2019, asking people to use they/them pronouns when referring to them. However, as Richard introduced the show segment, he referred to the singer, who uses they/them pronouns, as “he”. RICHARD Madeley has apologised and said he would learn to use people’s correct pronouns after a mistake on Good Morning Britain on Monday.

People just don’t like that Sam is queer, plus sized and unapologetic about it. If a straight white cis woman popstar did what sam smith did there would be no problem. It must be exhausting being so hateful all the time. “If a straight white cis woman popstar did what sam smith did there would be no problem,” said academic Dr. Many pointed out that the video would not have caused such a moral panic if it had been a cisgender, female popstar in it, and many videos by such musicians have been more sexualised without anyone batting an eyelid. “Sex has always been a running theme in modern pop music, and music videos often flaunt it,” wrote journalist Owen Jones.

Sam Smith's I'm Not Here to Make Friends music video has been accused of 'normalising pornography' and had calls for age restrictions to stop five-year-olds ...

It doesn't come with a content warning, you don't have to put a credit card in and prove that you're 18 to watch this video.” It is bad, it is unhealthy, it is not good for society and this is a symptom of it.” It is in music videos, it is in fast fashion that is being marketed to teens and we also live in an age where we know that people are getting sexually assaulted at school. Phillips said: “You have had to edit a lot of that video down to be able to show it on television. The 30-year-old shared that the lyrics are based on experiences of being “friend-zoned” time and again on dates. Other scenes filmed them thrusting on a bed in black leather undergarments, while a fountain of water is also sprayed into the Bond theme singer’s mouth.

The Good Morning Britain host made the same mistake twice and had to be put right by both Susanna Reid and guest Shivani Dave.

"And good on Richard Madeley correcting them." "#GMB GO ON @susannareid100 reminding Richard Madeley about Sam's pronouns!" Straight over to #BBCBreakfast for me." Rich wrote: "Why on earth do #gmb seriously employ Richard Madeley as a presenter. "Yes, sorry." I will learn to do that." "They," he said. Viewers watching Good Morning Britain criticised Richard for misgendering two separate people in the space of just a few minutes. The "Writing's on the Wall" singer explained in an interview with [Richard](https://www.cornwalllive.com/all-about/richard-madeley) and Susanna took some time to discuss Sam Smith's latest music video for their new single, "I'm Not Here to Make Friends". The Good Morning Britain presenters were then joined by guests Shivani Dave and Alex Phillips to discuss Sam's latest music video. When discussion on Good Morning Britain today turned towards Sam's music video, Richard, 66, explained to viewers that the footage needed to be edited before it could be broadcast on television.

Sam Smith's latest music video has drawn controversy for the kind of in-your-face sex- and body-positive sensibilty that's become commonplace in modern ...

Compared to many of their pop contemporaries, Smith is thoroughly unremarkable in their willingness to place sex front and centre. [a three-star review of their latest album, Gloria](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/sam-smith-gloria-review-b2269894.html), Helen Brown describes Smith’s singing as the “aural equivalent of watching a lava lamp” – and she’s right. While Smith is currently facing the sharp end of this double standard, it would be absurd to act as if they are some kind of radical button-pusher. When the act of rebellion has been washed clean, made sturdy by history and the heft of consensus. Musicians should not be forced to tailor their output to the sexless whims of the young. In one of the more extreme reactions, ex-Brexit Party MEP Alex Phillips went on Good Morning Britain and likened the video to porn, linking its content to a wider culture of sexual assaults and “relationships falling apart”. And yet, in poured the outrage, with detractors branding the content “pornographic” and calling for an age restriction to be placed on the video. Sam Smith’s latest music video has drawn controversy for the kind of in-your-face, sex- and body-positive sensibility that’s become commonplace in modern music. The mere suggestion of sexuality does not equate to porn, nor is such a suggestion inherently unsuitable for children. “I’m Not Here to Make Friends” has pretty innocuous lyrics – tamely horny lines about looking to pull in a nightclub. It’s a raunchy, unabashed display of sexuality. It’s an accusation that reeks of homophobia.

One wrote: "It's time for standards to be raised regarding pop videos. They are fully available on YouTube and TikTok," she told Richard and Susanna. "We live an age now where porn is becoming so normalised. You have got filth going on in One added: "Hate all the haters. "It is bad, it is unhealthy, it is not good for society and this is a symptom of it." They’re all just jealous."

"You look so happy & free on this new era! "I don't think it is a coincidence that the reporting of things like sexual assaults and sexual attacks, relationships falling apart, the swipe left and swipe right generation.
