craig 680 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The ministry previously endorsed Gaga's performance, citing that the Grammy-award singer would boost tourism in the country. Ministry data show that around 12,000 foreign tourists from Australia, the Philippines and other ASEAN and Middle Eastern countries had bought tickets to the concert and had booked rooms in three- and four-star hotels in Jakarta. How many of them will buy tickets again there for a concert, with twin threats of cancellation and violence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMarty 96 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 How many of them will buy tickets again there for a concert, with twin threats of cancellation and violence? Fewer still the number of non-native artists who would consider performing there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDD 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm glad the show has been cancelled for safety of Gaga and her fans, but I do feel sad for the monsters who now won't be able to see her. I would be distraught if something like this happened in England and I couldn't see the BTW ball, so I know how upset they must be. It really is for the best though, risking safety is just not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
display name 4,360 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 After seeing those videos of the fans and the flash mob in Indonesia, I do feel sad for them. I hope they all have the opportunity to see her at a different show of the tour because I don't want any of them to have to miss out just because of one group of ****s.

TOSK 640 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Lady Gaga’s Appeal Grows in Indonesia Despite Scrapped Concert Lady Gaga’s Indonesian fans may no longer be able to catch the pop idol live, after her concert was canceled owing to threats from Islamic extremists, but her songs and videos may be getting more attention in the country now than ever before. According to Google Insights for Search, search queries for the American pop star in Indonesia have increased more than five-fold since early May, when news of Lady Gaga’s concert first started making waves among conservative factions in the country. The drama over her now-canceled concert may also have had the unintended effect of popularizing the controversial icon’s songs, with “lady gaga songs†and “download lady gaga†also topping the search lists in the Southeast Asian nation. Among the fastest-rising searches in Indonesia, according to Google, was Lady Gaga’s “Judas,†a song that religious groups – Christian and Muslim alike – have latched on to as evidence of the American pop star’s “devil worship.†On YouTube, the song has more than 139 million views, compared with her more radio-friendly hits like “Born This Way†and “Edge of Glory,†which have 94 million and 59 million views, respectively http://blogs.wsj.com...oogle_news_blog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the FPI's plan backfired. Everybody knows that if you forbid something, it only makes it all the more desirable. Why else would there be so many practices that go against Islam going on in Indonesia right now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 you know Gaga was kicking and screaming to do it. but she doesn't call all the shots. This. GaGa didn't let it go down without a fight. I'm sure she tried everything in her power to do the show. Hell, she even said she would perform the show alone. But GaGa doesn't pull all the strings, and it's obvious they thought it it too threatening and wouldn't allow her to perform. I mean just look at her tweet. She is absolutely distraught and devastated over the show having to be cancelled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
