yxi 4,999 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Gaga was aware of Rape Kelly's crimes and she did the collab on purpose to be controversial and she felt bad afterwards. If RedOne turns out to be a creep, she won't delete anything because she didn't know at the time they worked together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 56,083 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I mean, its pretty safe to assume most of Gaga's producers and collaborators aren't pedophiles or abusers, even though in music industry but I guess you never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - Gaga made a bad, twisted mistake of working with him during a dark time in her life and now she is remorseful. Removing is a good idea that sends a strong message, even if so many of us love the song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxi 4,999 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 By the way, Kate Bush did the same thing last year. She removed a rapist's vocals from her Aerial album: http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/kate-bush-removes-rolf-harris-from-the-2018-remaster-of-her-album-aerial/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochestrMonstr 3,216 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yes I believe she did the right thing. Even if services don’t remove his discography, I believe Gaga did the right thing by removing him from her discography. I also think she would be getting extreme backlash if she had not removed the song, as opposed to the very mild, almost non-existent “backlash” she is currently receiving.

And even if I don't even agree with that statement, nowadays people are tryna wanna erase everything which even slightly bothers them, so I'm gonna stick to that statement after all. I'l still listen to DWUW, it's not like I'm committing some sort of crime or even just not caring about how horrible rk is. I'm just listening to a song that I like, that's all and that should be all for everybody, even more if I'm not even listening to his awful voice or reading his name in the title of the song Colourful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga wrote her solo demo first, then had Kelly write in his verse, and then Christina re-recorded Gaga’s written verse. So the Christina version has nothing to do with Kelly. He may have writing credits for the song in general, but we know he didn’t help at all on that version Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the first one that got surprised tbh I agree he has technical credits for the song in general but I believe he really didn’t do any of the song writing that appears in the Christina version (that was all gaga) So he may still be getting money from that version but I don’t see him actually being “involved” in that final product. If that makes sense Like i know he gets money for the song but I don’t feel his input when I listen to the Christina version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think she did the right thing, The problem is people wanted actions after This whole deal. The amount of News stories that don't acknowledge every thing she's done in the past like Till it happens to you, The Oscars performance with the Survivors or Her work with Joe Biden.

What made DWUW very problematic was the very sexual, almost rapey, meaning of Kelly's part, combined with his real-life crimes. And the fact that said crimes were publicly known at the time of creation of DWUW. This. I think if it was any other song and not ‘do what u want with my body’ it prob would still be online lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu 1,212 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think you all should watch Surviving R. Kelly and then listen to DWUW featuring him. It's pretty easy to understand why deleting DWUW was the right thing to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
