Do you find this music video offensive? - Page 2

Maybe you are being too literal as I understood her viewpoint wasn't copied exactly but to be similar in using Catholic symbolism to shock.

Anyway it's hardly that important to get uptight about.

I don't find it offensive at all, however she has tried to do what Madonna did and used the Catholic symbols and imagary to cause an uproar and get the video more publicity IMO.

Or just to be weird like she usually is.

Zing, Kymmy was correct in saying copied as she was referencing the use of Catholic symbolism and not that the video was copied.

I find the audio quite offensive to my ears. Its like a glorified Eurovision song.

Any more personal comments in this thread will be deleted and the poster infracted. Grow up people.

absolute rubbish

Why does the fact Madonna made a totally different video years using Religion mean that Gaga has "copied" it today? it does not simples

Anyway back on topic

well me and my wife have just watched it (both GaGa fans)and came to the same conclusion ,not offensive ...unless you are Madonna

we both think it is a bit of a p...take of Madonna and Gagas' way of telling Madonna that her time is up and a new queen of pop is here and whatever Madonna did GaGa can do it better
would be interesting to see a reaction from Madonna

but very well done imo

Flyboy · 15-06-2010, 02:08

Maybe I am just getting too old, but I found it to be...well....crap!

**Maggy** · 15-06-2010, 07:06

I'm still laughing at it.

Shame about the video but the song is great...

Uncle Peter · 15-06-2010, 15:44

Coming from an Irish/Polish (parents) catholic background perhaps I should find it offensive but I don't because it's ultimately just another crass, disposable pop song which I'd have otherwise completely ignored if it weren't for this thread.

Hiroki · 15-06-2010, 17:11

I don't find it offensive at all but that's because Madonna has done it all before.

Lady Gaga looks like "True Blue" era Madonna in the video, the song sounds like "La Isla Bonita" and the video tries to ape "Like A Prayer".

It just looks like one of those montage type videos that labels put out first when a new song from a greatest hits album leaks and they have to cobble something together - It lacks any though and originality and it's quite cheap to take a pop at a religion to get attention and keep you in the papers.

The girl needs to find her own style and originality quick or she will just fade out.
