Werk 13,165 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Was Not Myself Tonight controversial? I'm just confused on why S&M would be more controversial then Not Myself Tonight considering how pretty extreme NMT is.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akiki 3,900 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 At the time, gaga saved christina. It was all about how she was trying to outmatch Gaga. If it wasn't for Gaga people would see how extreme the video really is, but most of the discussion was around Christina bad mouthing Gaga. Thank god they were over it and we had that amazing performance. I'm still chocked to see gaga keep up with x-tina Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Laurent 4,862 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Looking back, honestly, truly, apart from the last scene with the guy, it's not really similar to BR. OT: I think probably the shittiness and percieved Gaganess overshadowed the controversy of it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanWinchester 41,390 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It was a pretty good song but released during a pretty bad time for other artists Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ryan 1,468 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No one watched Not Myself Tonight and it flopped. People watched S&M and bought the song. Neither was controversial by the time it came out we had seen it before... and no for the people with few brain cells I am not talking about Bad Romance. I am talking by the time those videos came out sexuality wasn't a big thing and still isn't... a celeb who walks around naked like a nudist has the #2 song on the Hot 100.

Seeka 12,372 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Not Myself Tonight was truly overshadowed by the idea it was a Bad Romance knock off. However, S&M is far more blatant in its lyrics, and Rihanna fellates a banana. So it tends to be more controversial when it is more obvious and appeals to a larger crowd, and is more raunchy. That's another thing as well. Not Myself Tonight has a feeling of sensuality, while S&M was raunchy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

androiduser 7,087 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I don't thnk it was controversial.... It was just silly because she was trying so hard to be sexual and provocative and people never perceived her as such Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahfan 23,512 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's funny, I was just watching Nymphomaniac Vol. II again, and in this light it feels very weird to me to even start considering NMT or S&M controversial in the slightest way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to work with the people I admire. Lars is actually my favorite director. The way he makes his films evokes truly extreme emotions.

I love how he always keeps pushing boundaries, not to mention the fact his films talk to me on a personal level.
