Lady Gaga is known for pushing the
envelope with her performances, but
has she gone too far this time? The
controversial pop star has come
under fire for a recent performance in
the U.K. in which she simulated a
murder scene on stage.
It was a revisiting of the performance
Gaga did at the MTV Movie Awards.
This one took place in Manchester,
England, and she pretended to be
brutally attacked by her male dancers, before falling to the floor
covered in fake blood.
Christina Aguilera vs. Lady Gaga: Jealous Much?
People are outraged because it occurred just one day after a cab
driver went on a killing spree in the country, killing twelve people
before taking his own life. In addition, there was an incident last
week involving a PhD student in the country who was charged
with murdering three prostitutes.
Concert-goers were shocked and offended. One told the UK Sun,
"I'm a huge fan but was shocked like everyone else. It was sick,
especially after what happened in Bradford and Cumbria. It was just
over the top and gory."
Another concert-goer adds, "I'm absolutely sickened at what I saw.
We know Lady Gaga is not exactly mainstream for all the family,
but she crossed the line this time. It was extremely tasteless to see
her pretend to be attacked in such a gory way, especially in front of
kids."
Anti-violence campaigner Lynn Costello, spokesperson for Britain's
Mothers Against Violence charity, said, "I wouldn't let any child of
mine go to see Lady Gaga - I think she's tasteless anyway and this
scene appears to back what I believe.
"Something like this is tasteless at any time but so soon after what
happened in Bradford and Cumbria it also shows a total lack of
sensitivity to the families of the victims. These people seem more
concerned with selling tickets."
Check out the footage below. Is this just Lady Gaga expressing
herself, or did she take it too far this time?
