LADY GAGA MAKES GIRL VOMIT ON HER

[Eric]

so self-induced vomiting is something beautiful??

I believe she is referring to the coloured paint as beautiful. beauty is in eye of beholder, right?

[Eric]

oh didn't know she's an artist who throws up to make painting

well

[Judas]

the 'artist' in question also rtweeted this message from demi posted in the past:

and defended her work as a way of expressing herself and making her feel powerful, 'creating something bbeautiful' rather than 'punishing herself to conform to society's standards'. There is no denying millie brown is clearly mentally ill and the performance was in bad taste. poor and misguided excuse for art? yes. glamourizing eating disorders? not so sure, but i guess that's up to one's own interpretation. the music industry has really hit rock bottom, seems like artists are just clamouring for ways to shock us rather than actually make enjoyable music.

Mentally ill? Because she has a unique definition of art and expressing herself? Hmm...

Anyway, I don't see how the music industry has hit rock bottom because artists try to shock. That has been happening since ... forever. This isn't even the first time Lady Gaga has incorporated puke into her work.


From 2009

Since Elvis gyrated on national television back in 1956...

Show Hide

Presley has already appeared six times on national television, but it is his appearance on The Milton Berle Show on June 5, 1956, that triggers the first controversy of his career. Presley sings his latest single, "Hound Dog," with all the pelvis-shaking intensity his fans scream for. Television critics across the country slam the performance for its "appalling lack of musicality," for its "vulgarity" and "animalism." The Catholic Church takes up the criticism in its weekly organ in a piece headlined "Beware Elvis Presley." Concerns about juvenile delinquency and the changing moral values of the young find a new target in the popular singer.

Since Eminem incorporated misogynistic and homophobic themes into his lyrics...

"He is misogynist scum who will influence some women and men," she told the Sunday Times on 4 February 2001. "Rather than censor him, though, I wish someone who took offence at his lyrics would leave him in a coma."

Since John Lennon claimed The Beatles were 'more popular than Jesus'

Show Hide

There was an immediate response, starting with an announcement by two radio stations in Alabama and Texas that they had banned Beatles' music from their playlists. WAQY DJ, Tommy Charles: "We just felt it was so absurd and sacrilegious that something ought to be done to show them that they can't get away with this sort of thing".

Since Madonna danced around in a field of burning crosses and flirted with a black Jesus figure, since Sinead O'Connor tore up a photo of the Pope on live TV, since Guns n Roses released this song....

Hell even since Stravinsky debuted The Rite of Spring in 1913 and caused a riot in the audience due to his unconventional composition and story, music and shock have always gone hand in hand. And you're going to try and suggest that artists have just started trying to shock audiences in 2014?

[Rixion]

She's trying too hard and it's really uncouth

[OldLoveSong]

umm, EW? blech

[God]

Wow, such art and beauty, really artistic.

In a recent interview from Millie, she stated "Im not crazy! My mother got me tested" She said she was tested only a few weeks ago.


Anyways this is just ******* gross, and imagine what this is doing to peoples minds, glamorizing a eating disorder!

[Derrener]

I was half joking about Millie being mentally ill. I appreciate art as much as the next man and will defend freedom of expression to the death, but this is on the borderline of the offensive.

Performance art that shocks us by going against the grain of our expectations is something that appears throughout history, yes, but my view is that the pop industry as it stands is dominated only by those who are prepared to take this to its very extremes in order to get people to internalise the message they are trying to portray in their songs. I never said that this is the first recorded instance, just that it's happening far too often today - especially where Gaga is concerned. Had she not made a confessional speech about bulimia and accompanied her song with such an outlandish performance, do you think the message of the song she was performing would have had the impact she wanted? My own preference is for a song to be sung and the rest be left to me. That is my own relationship with music, though.
