Before she went GaGa she was just Stefani, an extremely talented young lady. I can't help but wonder how the haters would feel about her had she just remained this type of performer, rather than becoming the controversial performance artist that she is today.

I think 80% of the "hater's" disdain has to do with the banality of her music. The other 20% is that she's not nearly as controversial or groundbreaking or envelope-pushing as she thinks she is. She seems to thinks she's some kind of pioneering culture warrior laying the groundwork for some massive cultural sea-change when the plain truth is we've been-there-done-that already. And it wasn't even that exciting the first time around. So yeah... while the video clip doesn't do much for me, it's still a lot more tolerable than the schlock she's belching out today.

It is for the clients and we try to be fair to everyone. I can appreciate that.

I kind of liked the song "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen. That is the one she named herself after.
What a funny coincidence as some radio station my coworkers have listened to all this week played Bad Romance out to death too.

Default Lady Gagas New Video! The Clean Version?

Okay, my young daughter who kind of likes Lady Gaga (not a real big fan) likes to watch videos on youtube. As far as I know she hasn't looked up this one yet. So, I go to check it out because I've seen some of her other videos. Well, Let me tell you I couldn't watch it. I turned it off after maybe 30 seconds. It might as well be listed under lesbian porn.


I know that some will say I'm a prude and that art is subjective, but when they play her music in the commercialized airwaves and to young impressionable girls/boys

I think she should keep her pants on. AND it's not so much nudity as the sexual inuendos.

I Agree with you...It's getting out of hand what is acceptable in society...people are all bent up about their right to view entertaining artists and they don't think of the kids....Now these kind of videos shouldn't be banned from being made because as an adult we have the right to chose what we want to see, but it should be regulated on the radio and tv. They should have a limit just as they do for movies because kids shouldn't be looking at that kind of stuff without a parent allowing it. Which I doubt any real parent would allow their kid to view that kind of garbage.

She's not starring in any Disney or Nickelodeon shows. She is an artist, and does exactly what she feels. It's up to the parent to PARENT.

Pigs like Miley Cyrus are the problem.

Yeah but there should be a limit to what is seen on national TV such as MTV...Maybe you can control what your kid sees at home, but at their friends house? or at a store like Target with the video playing on one of those tv's for sale?
