Lady Gaga says she is a feminist and seems like a fairly intelligent woman. Why would she consent to do a music video this gross and idiotic with these guys, given their well-documented issues? And you can’t use the excuse that it’s “art”. That won’t fly with this one. (Look at the clip, if they haven’t taken it down yet.) Of course the video is now shelved after all the complaints and controversy.. And everybody's talking about it. Oh, for extra fun, the video was directed by Terry Richardson, the photographer, who has been accused of sexual abuse by several models. Too bad American Apparel's Dov Charney didn't do the wardrobe. Why not go for a hat-trick?
Could it be Lady Gaga (or whoever is pulling her strings) is delving deeper and deeper into the abyss to keep her name in front of the public? Is that all she has? It's too bad, because she does have musical talent. I don't see Adele, St. Vincent, Lorde or Lana Del Rey resorting to these tactics. And I see their names in the press a lot more these days. Whatever happened to the good stuff, Gaga, like Bad Romance or Paparazzi?
Here is the Village Voice article about the charges against R. Kelly.
