The 10 most controversial music videos (DWUW mentioned)

[Serendipity 7,821]

From Nirvana through to Lady Gaga and MIA, sometimes it's not just the song lyrics that get musicians in trouble

 

Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly, ‘Do What U Want’

We can’t provide a link to the original video for this one, as it was never released – bar this 30-second clip leaked to TMZ. When Lady Gaga initially delayed the video for her 2013 hit, the hold-up was blamed on issues with time constraints on shooting the video itself. It was later revealed the video not only co-starred Kelly, himself no stranger to scandal, but was also directed by Terry Richardson, who has had to respond to multiple claims of s-xual misconduct in recent years. In the video, Gaga acts as Kelly’s patient, who tells her, "I’m putting you under, and when you wake up, you’re going to be pregnant." No wonder then, that an anonymous source later told the New York Post that the video was "literally an ad for rape".

Our baby, DWUW still making headlines years after

Madonna, 'Like a Prayer'

Madonna, who has built a career on winding up the masses, played her namesake in her 1989 video for Like A Prayer. The scenes of her dancing in a field of burning crosses already had her crossed off the Catholic Church’s Christmas card list, but the later scenes of her cavorting away with a saint in a church sent the Vatican apoplectic and saw Madonna lose a lucrative endorsement with Pepsi. If only they’d known the antics she had up her sleeve for later decades.

I still resent Gaga for not having released a video for DWUW.

​Imagine DWUW pulling a controversy on the level of Like A Prayer

[Bambino 24,290]

Talk about the impact.

[Creyk 17,817]

She should have released the video. It could be bigger than BR

Besides when will it leak already?

At this point no one but us would care

You can be controversial because of the artistry shock, then it 's good. But it's not good to be controversial because of attention whoring trash and that's what the DWYW video was.

The Paparazzi VMAs were artistically shocking but  beautiful, because it was genuine and authentic. 

DWYW video = attention whoring and cheap trash

The people feel what's the ambition. Glad the video never came out.

​I resent Gaga because in the past she never feared controversy. I'm pretty sure controversy could have helped her album / single to jump in charts. For DWUW it was like she didn't own up what she has done. Actually I feel like it's the same for the whole ARTPOP era... I just hope Gaga won't do the same for next era, it would be disappointing.

The video wasn't even released 

[Flippy 12,895]

I would love to fully watch it...  

I'm sure I would've loved it! Specially after so much hype!

[Swan Heart 7,382]

I'm actually kinda glad we didn't see the video.

... Where the heck did people get the "you're going to be pregnant" thing from? It was never in any leaked intro clip when he puts her under, and to be honest, it sounds far too outlandish and extreme- even for Gaga.
