LADY GAGA Protesters Rally For Cancellation Of Concerts In The Philippines

May 19, 2012 in Hollywood News, Syndicated Posts

Celebrity news has learned that several LADY GAGA protesters are rallying for the cancellation of her concerts in the Philippines.

Looks like things are not going as planned for her Asia tour…

JTM 058948

After having to cancel her sold out tour in Indonesia due to being banned in the country and losing underage fans as attendees to her South Korea concert, some religious protesters in the capital city of the Philippines are now rallying for the cancellation of Gaga‘s concerts, which are due to take place on May 21 and 22.

Why else, but because of her controversial songs and her raunchy antics?

Roughly 70 protesters, who are all members of the Christian group “Biblemode Youth Philippines, have been chanting “Stop the Lady Gaga Concerts” are apparently non-fans of her music—especially her song “Judas”—and they want her to cancel her concert just less than a week before she arrives in Manila.

However, sources confirm that her concerts will still take place, as long as she regulates her wild ways. As the mayor of Pasay City Antonino Calixto 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.”

As for her song “Judas,” former Philippine Congressman Benny Abante threatens to file charges against Gaga if she performs it, on grounds of offending religion, which could imprison her from six months to six years.

Whoa.

Do you think the Filipino authorities are right about regulating Gaga‘s concerts or are they overreacting?
