MTV Did Not Ban Lady Gaga’s Video, She Needs A Break
Here is three pieces of news about Lady GaGa rolled into one, how excited are you? First up we will talk about the following video in which it’s obvious that she needs to take a break and go on a healthy vacation.
During a performance of Bad Romance, the closing song to her Monster Ball tour, in New Zealand she could barely stand and ended up singing half the song on her hands and knees while she swung her head around. Now I’ve been to this tour and it is pretty amazing but this is not the kind of performance she gave which makes it obvious that she is in dire need of a rest.
In her second piece of news CNN reported over the weekend that MTV have decided that they are going to ban her Telephone music video, which you can see here, because they think it’s too provocative. This is not the case at all according to a press release from MTV.
The press release said … “MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ‘Telephone’ video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported, fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online.”
What I found hilarious about the whole rumor is that if it was true … would MTV actually think they are still relevant enough to the music world to ban videos, does anybody even watch MTV anymore? The highest rated program on MTV gets at most 4 million viewers, while since premiering on Thursday the Telephone video has had over 15 million viewers.
As for the video itself, there’s nothing provocative in this video at all in my opinion and what I find more offending is the amount of product-placement they have decided to throw in.
Lady GaGa will not be taking a break anytime soon though because her calendar is completely booked, which leads me to the last piece of news – she has just announced tour dates for her second U.S. leg of the Monster Ball tour, which you can see after the jump.
