Queen of controversy Lady Gaga is making headlines for yet another racy video featuring highly sexualized material combined with religious imagery. But while some argue Gaga has crossed the line between edgy and tasteless, her use of distorted Catholic imagery speaks to a rising trend in Hollywood.
The pop princess, real name Stefani Germanotta, recently released the music video for her single “Alejandro” and has sparked quite the outcry given its saturation of controversial imagery, including her swallowing rosary beads in a latex-version of a nun’s habit, holding the crucifix in front of her crotch and simulating group sex with a bunch of beefed-up men, who are nearly naked save for underwear and high heels.
Even fellow songstress Katy Perry, who comes from a religious upbringing, hinted her disdain for the music video last weekend when she tweeted, "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.”

I’m sure God has a special place for her when her time comes - unless she has a “come to Jesus” meeting while still here on earth.
I agree. They do this for the attention and they have to keep topping themselves each time. They WANT us to talk about them - if we ignore them, they lose.
She’s really just a Plain Jane with an empty soul.
The woman in front has a nice booty.
Satan really thinks he can swallow up the Lord Jesus Christ and destroy Him and make Him go away? No - Satan has read the end of the story - he knows what will happen to him.
inane euro-esque techno garbage with no soul. i suppose they have to try to sell this schlock somehow.
Imagine the bloodcurdling screams of human horror and agonizing pain as hot blobs of fire came down from the skies and totally consumed the town of Gommorah, hit people on their heads as they tried to run around for useless, hopeless protection. Imagine how they finally woke up to their sin, but too late, and how smug and arrogant they were just a few moments before.
The Times (London) week of 3-11 AUG 1994: “When the depraved becomes the norm, what’s depraved anymore?”
That song sounds like something Ace of Base would have put out back in the early 90’s.
Is Ms. Germanotta a baptized Roman Catholic, or not?
According to her bio she went to Convent of the Sacred Heart of New York.
What popularity that ... performer has is due to the complete alienation exhibited. It’s bothersome that so many find that appealing.
she is successful....she went to Catholic School.
she should thank Catholic School for making her a success.
The Catholic school did....what to give her that voice?
I dunno...I never heard her...and only recently heard OF her.(nor will I hear her if I ever get the chance to avoid it).
I am assuming she had the SMARTS to parlay a NO TALENT music style into a livelihood.
and that is all I am saying.

I heard her. Amazing voice but not really music that I care for. Kids had the radio on a station that I didn’t approve of (I listen to air1) and there she was. Disgusting lyrics sung with a beautiful voice.
I have no idea what her music is...only what I see of her in pictures on the net.
she is quite a show person and she is smart enough to know how to use that.
My Catholic School nun teachers beat a work ethic into me and I did well. I assume in a perverted way that same work ethic worked for her too.
