Lady Gaga: More pop than idol?

Lady Gaga’s latest performance in Manchester, in which she gets stabbed by a dancer who dresses up as a vampire/psycho killer, has made parents of kids visiting the show mad at the singer born as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. The reason for this being that it happened just a few hours after the shootings in Cumbria. Lynn Costello of Mothers against Violence claims that this is just more proof of the tastelessness of Lady Gaga and says that she “wouldn’t let any child of mine go to see Lady Gaga”. She also says that people like Lady Gaga, considered idols by young kids, should behave accordingly.

My personal reaction to this is that if the parents were to take their child to a show of Lady Gaga, they should do sufficient research into what the show is like. This way they won't be surprised. The article also says that her act was tasteless, given the recent shootings in Cumbria, but nowhere does it mention that Lady Gaga knew what had happened a few hours prior to the show. Then again, even if she did, then I feel that she made the right decision to continue with the act. Switching out acts on the fly like that could’ve cost a lot of money and I also believe that whatever happens, the show must go on.
