I've never really been a fan of Lady Gaga but I watched her couple years ago at Singapore. My friends and I were enjoyed it a lot. The concert was more like a mini concert (at Fort Canning Park). The audiences were decent and we're all dance and sing the night away. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. She even didn't do a lipsynch (which is rare nowadays). As far as I might concern, NO endanger moves, or suspicious symbolic that leads her to be Lucifer's wife or something like that? No sex party after the concert (not that I knew of).
It was absolutely normal, just like another concert..

You've probably heard about the cancellation of Born This Way concert that suppose to be held this Sunday at Jakarta. As the news itself has been online and aired worldwide. Once again, our lovely country put to shame by the narrow minded people and bigotry that stand behind the face of Islam.
I feel so sorry for them, all of them. Big Daddy as promoter, Lady Gaga & management, and also the fans. Fans who have been waiting for years to see their idol live. Who did almost anything to watch Gaga, from practicing flash mob dance to prepare the costumes. Known as eccentric singer, no wonder her fans just as eccentric.
There were several "discussions" in local TV whether this issue. Oh trust me, it's beyond ridiculous. How they stated Lady Gaga as "the messenger of evil", pornographic, and would definitely bring harm for those who watch her. Hello... for three fucking hours? She just SING. S I N G and dance. On more ironic side, is there any single person on earth who "turned on" by watching Gaga's concert? And later rape her friends, or turn themselves into so called "evil"? All the chargers that pointed out at Gaga were absolutely horrifying and don't make any sense! Yes she wears provocative costumes, stupendous heels and props but that's it. I strongly believe it is mere an expression of art! No more, no less. Even she fights for equality, she concerns in bullying, and have donated to various foundations (she also owns one CMIIW)
Worst is, I saw several people on TV news brought posters that written, "if you still come here, GBK will be sea of fire" or "you won't go out alive" or "go to hell" etc etc.
WTF?!
Them (you know who you are), who hid behind one religion wall, may you find the true peace. Go find a nice job, feed your wife and children, or go home to your mom. Why don't spend the rest of your life by helping others instead of bashing others freedom of expression? Or maybe, just maybe, you can go and fuck yourself.
Who am I to judge who's wrong or right, but as Indonesian I also feel humiliated. It's sickening.. This case will likely put Indonesia on black list of major concerts. Who knows US or UK or other countries give their citizens a "travel warning" to Indonesia?
As for little monsters, I'm sure this was the best decision. Your idol's safety is #1 priority. Just.... Hang in there and put your paws up!
And what do we get from hatred?
nothing but a sea of fire in your heart.
