Kesha’s Rape Allegations Echo at Lady Gaga’s Oscar Rehearsal

[yASSsss 35,510]

Diane Warren had just gotten home from watching Lady Gaga rehearse with a full orchestra for her Oscar night performance. Gaga will sing “Til It Happens to You,” the song she and Warren wrote about rape, nominated for Best Song.

In the corridors and changing rooms behind the stage, people were whispering about Kesha — whose rape accusation against producer Dr. Luke is sending ripples through the music world and has led to a standoff in court with her erstwhile label at Sony, which is holding her to a recording contract.

“She’s brave,” said Warren, when I called her late that night. “Braver than I would’ve been. She can’t record ’til she gets a decision from a judge. In this business three years can be like 10 years, unless you’re Adele. So she must feel strongly to take that stand.”

Suing Sony is one thing. Going public against a producer with whom she has a contract is another, said Warren. “She’s still signed to the guy,” Warren said. “This is still someone that controls you.”

Rape is not what it once was in our society. It has come out of the shadows to the point where women stand out in the light and name names, as they do in the documentary “The Hunting Ground,” the film that includes “‘Til It Happens to You.”

Now it is coming out of the shadows in Hollywood.

I think a lot of these girls have dealt with that,” said Warren. “They feel bad for her. And there’s a lot of genuine empathy for her right now. Two, three years ago, people didn’t talk about rape. If it happened, you didn’t talk about it. “

She added: “These women are warriors. These girls that were too afraid to talk about it, now they are speaking up. Kesha was really brave to do what she did. That took a lot. “

I wonder if Gaga will dedicate TIHTY performance to Kesha... What would you guys think of that?

The only thing to get her out of this contract is to change her name and get signed into another label.

I don't want her to do anything too explicit... Maybe somehow a quick flash of Kesha's face on the backdrop?

I wouldn't like it, the sentiment is nice, but I'd rather her dedicate it to every vitim and anyone dealing with it. That way it encompass her, but doesn't specifically name her.

I agree. She should say something like "this is dedicated to every survivor, and specially to Kesha Rose".

I think it would be a risky move - and it would definitely go viral if she did. Could be a really strong message to Sony and the GP though that Kesha has support. I'd be very interested to see what happens.

I think Gaga will dedicate the award to Kesha if she wins

This would not be okay for the millions of people who had suffered rape. Kesha is not the only one nor the most important.

I think we're in agreement

Gaga should dedicate the performance to ALL the rape victims because there are SO MANY out there who aren't in the news and the press, and they will never be..
