Anveeroy 56,924 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/02/19/fans-outraged-after-lgbt-lyrics-removed-from-lady-gaga-song-in-bbc-singing-competition/?utm_source=PNFB&utm_medium=SocialFB&utm_content=FBMB&utm_campaign=PNFacebook Some fans of the BBC singing competition ‘Let it Shine’ are outraged after crucial LGBT lyrics were taken out of a performance of Lady Gaga’s hit Born This Way. Lyrics that were taken out from the song included: “No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life. I’m on the right track baby. I was born to survive”. “Don’t be a drag, just be a queen,” was also removed. Fans accused the band as well as the BBC for “straightening” up the song and they expressed dismay that the performance didn’t capture the essence of the song. “As if they f***ing had to straighten up Born This Way. F*** off BBC. #LetItShine,” wrote one viewer on twitter. Another disgruntled person said: “So the BBC edited Born This Way for #letitshine so it didn’t mention any LGBT references. Surely that’s the whole message of the song?” “#letitshine how can you sing born this way without mentioning anything about equality and diversity ??? It’s the point of the song,” someone else added. Boy bands compete in the show to win a role in a stage musical about the group Take That. The band did not make it through to the next round in the show after losing a sing off.

Jenina 14,364 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I appreciate them singing the song but it takes the whole meaning out of the song if you don't talk about diversity and equality. Idk whoever thought that was a good idea whether it was the performers or BBC smh cool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamJ 8,008 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 it wasn't really taken out. I think it was more a case of lets just do a boyband slow version of a song and make it our own but stop complaining it keeps born this way relevant.
