Do you find this music video offensive?

Lady Gaga - Alejandro

I for one don't find this offensive, maybe because i'm not highly religious.

The singer seems to have invited the wrath of Catholic Church as she is seen swallowing rosary beads while getting close with her lover in bed and experimenting with intimacy.

Piece of art in my eyes .

Well it is rather risible and I had to stifle my laughing at this hour of the morning before I woke up any neighbours.

I can see that the S&M red nun outfit, the rosary bit and the inverted cross might upset the Vatican and Catholics in general.I thought the simulated sex scenes were silly and just thrown in to shock..But it isn't much worse than Madonna's previous efforts to upset Catholics.

To be totally honest the song is brilliant enough and doesn't need this very funny attempt to shock.

It's certainly cheered me up at this hour on a Monday morning.

I do not. The thing is the press seem to be out to get Gaga they did the same thing with Telephone which was a lot sexier.

One thing that does come out in this video is how unattractive she is without loads of face makeup on. I always thought she was quite good looking even though the press said she was fugly. Mind you with a body as fit as hers I wouldnt say no anyway lol

[Kymmy]

She's just copying a certain Madonna video in trying to use shock tactics aimed at the catholic religion

Do you mean Like A Prayer? because I can not see any resemblance at all between the 2 videos? They are totally different and totally different styles of song

Madonna did wear pointed Bra in a lot of her live shows but ive never seen her wear one with M60's pointing out the front

[Kymmy]

Try rereading my post and note that I said it's the same because she's trying to use "religious shock tactics"

nah I still disagree I do not think she is copying anything in anyway. Gaga has her own style and does not need to copy anyone elses style.

Perhaps she just decided that was the way to go with the video I doubt Madonna has anything to do with it.

Unless of course you are prepared to say any artist that are just singing without anything else are copying Queen . Just because an artist uses a certain subject thats been used before does not mean they are copying any and all previous users of said subject ..

[Kymmy]

Nope, just said one comment about comparing one madonna video to another which both use religion as symbols of shock, nothing more and nothing else. If you truly believe that there's an anything else to be said about my thoughts (amazing what people infere from just a few words...PMSL) then please go ahead with your limited viewpoint on the matter.

I don't think the vids are totally to blame, just a small part of the culture that shapes our children.. Probably why I decided never to have any

look kymmy I was going totally on what you said. You backtrack all the time. You didnt say comparing you said and using your words "she's just copying" you said it there clear in type kymmy so I am not infering anything just going on what you said.

Sorry zing I can see Kymmy's point..They are not exactly alike BUT they are similar in trying to use similar shock tactics against the Catholic church.

Anyway I think it too funny for words..I can't wait to see the send ups on YouTube..[COLOR="Silver"]

No not offensive at all.
If the idea was to upset the Catholics then Madonna's video was much better at it.
Considering the sexualisation of our children that has already happened perhaps this video should carry a 15 rating.

whats more to the point is how did that chap get his hands on Derek S's riot helmet

What is it with you zing?Can't people disagree with you without you regarding them as an enemy..

kymmy said "copied"

Last time I looked similar does not mean copied or does it maggy? your the teacher just because something is similar does it mean its copied? Does the fact both Madonna and Gaga use religion in totally different videos mean Gaga copied Madonna? I do not think so.

I do not think its "copied" the only resemblance is the fact it uses catholic religion
