‘Stop the Lady Gaga!’: Filipino Christian Youths Protest Pop Star‘s ’Questionable’ Concert

MANILA, Philippines (The Blaze/AP) — She may have been “born this way,” but one thing is for sure — many religious youths outside of the U.S. are less than content with pop star Lady Gaga’s quirky and edge behavior. Scores of Christian youths in the Philippines chanted “Stop the Lady Gaga concerts” at a rally Friday calling for the pop diva‘s shows here to be canceled despite assurances from authorities that they won’t allow nudity and lewd acts.
Sold-out crowds and angry protests followed Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” Asian tour. Fans younger than 18 were banned from the Seoul concerts over complaints her lyrics and costumes were too sexually provocative, and she was denied a concert permit in Indonesia by police under pressure from Islamic hard-liners.

About 70 members of a group called Biblemode Youth Philippines rallied in front of the Pasay City Hall in metropolitan Manila. They said they were offended by Lady Gaga’s music and videos, in particular her song “Judas,” which they say mocks Jesus Christ.
Lady Gaga has secured papers for two concerts Monday and Tuesday, but Pasay City Mayor Antonino Calixto said he told organizers to ensure that “they follow the rules and regulations stipulated in the concert permit earlier provided by the city government.”
“Although we respect artistic and musical expressions, I won’t allow anyone or any group to provide acts which may be questionable in a way at any venue under my jurisdiction,” he said in a statement. “We reminded the producers of Lady Gaga’s concert that the show and the event as a whole shall not exhibit any nudity or lewd conduct which may be offensive to morals and good customs.”
Protest leader and former Philippine Congressman Benny Abante says his group plans to file a case against Lady Gaga and concert organizers if she sings “Judas” at her Manila gigs.
Organizers from Ovation Productions did not immediately provide details about the upcoming concerts, including whether Lady Gaga will perform “Judas.”
Former Manila Mayor Jose Atienza said the singer and organizers can be punished for offending race or religion. Under the penal code in the conservative, majority Roman Catholic country, the penalty can range from six months to six years in prison, although no one has been convicted recently.
Atienza and a prominent lawyer, Romulo Macalintal, met earlier Friday with Calixto to press their concern about the concerts, which will be held at the newly constructed seaside Mall of Asia arena with a seating capacity of 20,000.
The Rev. Reyzel Cayanan from Biblemode Youth Philippines said he will lead another protest march and a candlelight vigil Saturday near the concert venue.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 9:17pmI never understood why people think this female creature has any talent. Same with Bruce Springstein — he just yells and screams along with loud music. Same with so many of the so called big names — they are talentless imbeciles who have some marketing company basically implant the suggestion that these pigs have talent into the minds of millions. Howard Stern is an example of a failure — no real talent, no real skills, no real anything to give to society except dirty talk. As if that is really funny, at least not to a person in his or her right mind. Think of it, before the past century or so, these multi-millionaires with foul mouths, lousy voices, and no talent would have been juggling balls in the street, singing in the corners with a basket in front of them, or working as the court jester, which is all Howard Stern is really. Anyway, God bless the filipino ladies!!!

The only decent role I’ve ever seen James Franco play too. There are excellent descriptions of heroic Filipino People and how they suffered some rather heavy losses while assisting the 6th Rangers in their mission to break out the POWs from Camp Cabanatuan. The Japanese plan was to kill all POWs if the Americans were to get close.

I love Lady Gaga because her music and her videos are entertaining; not because I wanna walk around in meat costumes. Would I ever go around wearing extravagant stuff that she does when she performs? No! Can I appreciate the beauty in most of it? Yeah, I can.

For the last 50+ years the gov‘t has been pushing the political correct indoctrination down white people’s throat, after 50 years of this – rap is normal, high crime is normal, high divorce rate is normal, drug use is normal, it’s all become a joke.
Don‘t believe me watch some old movies from the 1940’s 50′s they are great clean movies without all the garbage of today, the all white schools back then didn’t have the problems of today.
Ending segregation started the degeneration of America
The reason you call yourself a “conservative” is a way to hide from your father that you have been with a colored guy, I’m right yup thought so, it‘s not your fault thats what the gov’t wants, thats how they break us down from a once conservative society.

Rayblue
Posted on May 19, 2012 at 11:32pmAnd I’ll add this. Rap is a heavily conformist form of monolithic expression. By the sheer fact that academic performance is rated by the ability to memorize the exact “opinion” of professors and earlier teachers. Rap depends on the ability to memorize lyrics in the same manner as a lesson taught by teachers that have no interest in thought outside their own world. Hence, the genre’ is essentially liberal, closed minded and thought debasing in its conception.

I actually agree with Enciwhateverhisnameis, because we definitely don’t want to train our youth to think alike. That would be uh….kind of the opposite to our beliefs, to say the least! Doesn’t take a dumb liberal to figure that one out, does it?!
She isn’t evil; in fact, she is Catholic and respects the religion. Don’t believe me? Do the research.
And lastly, I must say, yet again, that people who have it out for her (especially as extreme as most of the replies here indicate) may have their own self confidence issues.
If you really hate the music, then cool. If you never really listened to it, but still decide to hate the person behind it, then I feel sorry for you.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 6:36pmChristians and Muslims agree in their hate. There is little differences between the Fringe Christian and Islamic hard-line nuts.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 6:52pmAre you for real? Is that the key word for you leftist drones? Hate? How is protesting a Lady Gaga concert hateful? Or is it ONLY Christian protests that are hateful? Radical leftist protests like Occupy are just fine and dandy. Peace and love…. Maybe you liberals should at least attempt to think for yourselves for once instead of buying into all the BS talking points.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 7:18pmThere is a difference between protesting and saying, “Lady Gaga‘s performance don’t stand up to my moral compass, therefore I will not be attending her concert“ and ”Lady Gaga‘s performances don’t stand up to my moral compass, therefore I will try to keep her from performing here.”
Religions have always cared more about other people’s morality then they do their own.

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 7:20pmDid you notice what was missing from all those (as you call them) “evil” protesters? Not one of them felt the need to hide their faces behind a mask or hajab!

Posted on May 18, 2012 at 7:39pmModerationIsBest, so you must feel slavery is alright then, right? Let’s change your post and instead of “Lady Gaga” we will insert “slavery.”
There is a difference between protesting and saying, “SLAVERY doesn’t stand up to my moral compass, therefore I will not OWN SLAVES“ and ”SLAVERY doesn’t stand up to my moral compass, therefore I will try to keep OTHERS FROM OWNING SLAVES.”

I figured the Christians had no problem with slavery, I mean the Bible is okay with it, hell, the bible is okay with honor killing.

Wait, I may be confused here.
Did you just really equate slavery to a Lady Gaga concert?
Please tell me that’s not what you were implying.
Were you really saying that trying to STOP slavery and trying to STOP Lady Gaga performing are equal on a morality scale? I really hope I am wrong in my assessment of your claim because I don’t want to think that there is anybody that stupid and morally inadequate in this world.
If this is your claim, I am going to claim that you are morally BANKRUPT and so brain washed that you can’t think on a rational scale.

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 4:10amYes ENCINOM..People have been evil since Eve ate the apple in the garden a long time ago. People did aweful things because thats when sin came into the world. Cain slew his brother Abel….not too long after that, sin was running so rampant that God destroyed the world with a flood (it broke His heart)..because nothing but evil was on their minds continually (alot like people now)…but He saved Noah and his family. The bible “says just as it was in the days of Noah, will the coming of the son of man be”…people were eating and drinking and marrying and they didn’t have any idea they were getting ready to die by drowning…It will be the same this time only Jesus will come back at a time we don’t expect…..so be ready. Yes…you are right about that…there has been slavery and alot worse since sin came into the world…all done by rebellous sinners….not God. God is a just judge.
