You can tell even at that age she took other people's critiques of her seriously but still did what she wanted to do. And that is why she is on the X Factor today

Exactly. I remember people talking ****, even back then.
While I agree with the statement that a popstar is not a parent, I think it's a flawed answer that doesn't really address the real issue. It's taking the easy way out. It's like placing your boob in a child's hand and saying, "I'm not their parent" (exaggerated example).
The reason parents have criticism for artists who act in these ways is because it goes AGAINST their parenting. They're not asking popstars to start babysitting. But the fact remains that popstars do in fact spend a lot of time with their children, in various forms of media. So while a popstar is not a parent, their market is often children, which is where the criticism comes from.
This would bring up the discussion of who is at fault. The artist who wants to be themselves, or the company that markets this artist to a young audience. I'd say that the company that promotes it is more at fault because the popstar doesn't necessarily decide where they're music/videos are going to. However, I'd wish that some of these popstars would own up to their actions a bit more.
