Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Reminds me of when male artists cover love songs written by women and they change the pronouns to not seem gay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Probably was a matter of shortnening it  honestly if they were anti-gay would they even have chosen this song at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaojen 1,571 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I sing in the Orlando Gay Chorus and we bought s choral arrangement of Born This Way that had those parts omitted. We added them back in. Silly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Greg said: I doubt it was the BBC that decided to cut it out. Gaga has sang BTW more than once on the BBC, and she never censored the lyrics. It was probably just the decision of the producers to make sure they fit in the time slot, even though it was tragic anyway  Contestants barely have a say in what they are going to sing and wear in these singing shows. I don't know much about this particular show, but usually there's a whole team from the tv station behind everything. Also, I imagine Gaga having the last word when deciding what and how to perform - she brought them a lot of views after all (especially during the BTW era when she was the pop act of the world). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 1. The song was probably shortened due to it being a reality show. That always happens with performances. 2. I don't think they even sang the bridge? 3. Glee did a similar thing. When they performed BTW they cut out the LGBTQ part. Idk why and that'll always haunt me about the show. But I don't think this should be blown up to the heavens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlaeUrAnus 14,823 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 They BUTCHERED it  The bridge is the main part of the song so I do question why they removed it  In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 137,288 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Isn't it pretty common for people to cut out the bridge of songs when they perform them like this? Not that I don't think there's some kind of issue here. I remember the UK censored an episode of Steven Universe for implying that the main characters were lesbians...which they are so Regardless, they average singers but sound terrible together. Like, tone deaf, as if they're just yelling/grunting the song  but that's just my criticism for the band. I hope there wasn't an agenda behind them cutting out the bridge. I doubt there was since BTW is a very well known pro-LGBT song 💚 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
