hmm 979 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Idk in both cases she's used for propaganda purposes. In Tel Aviv she was yelling about Israelis being strong and brave etc, I bet there were many soldiers in the audience (I found that awkward after bloody outcome of summer bombing) and then do you remember that zionist group in USA who took that quote just to show how even Lady Gaga supports actions of the Israeli government. I wish she would know more about world afairs tbh. Or to be like Madonna in the case of Israel/Palestine; if she's ready to perform there, then speak out same time against war, educate yourself, use your voice for good. idk I get that she's used for propaganda purposes in both instances but in the Israel cases it's general comments she's made with others misconstruing it to be political support That group in the US were embarrassing in that it made zero sense In the Azeri case she's point blank making herself the propaganda (as I see it anyway - you could argue that she could've been more foresighted on Israel too). As for your second paragraph on 'being like Madonna', divisive words Maybe in years to come Gaga will become more aware of world affairs and be confident in speaking and acting against them, it's just odd that she isn't at this point.

lego 44,165 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I haven't read much about it but I don't understand Gaga's connection to it She was a distraction. She met Assange in 2012, maybe this appearance was planned long time ago. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 She was a distraction. She met Assange in 2012, maybe this appearance was planned long time ago. She or the entire opening ceremony though, the latter is more plausible Doubtful that she or that meeting was connected, Baku wasn't even awarded the games (Idek if we knew about their proposed existence) at that point never mind opening ceremony plans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane_c 480 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 All about perspective. People interpret music in various ways. Speechless by Gaga can be viewed differently from me to you.Speechless is about Luc Carl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katharine Hepburn 4,607 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The point of these international events is to promote unity between countries despite politics. Gaga performed in support of this idea of unity which is shown by her choice of song. xoxo Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
