Erotica 34,929 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This is ridiculous as hell. The fact that she's performing in Eurovision , which is a non-political event, has nothing to do to with the Israeli governments actions on Palestine. She's not the first, nor the last artist to perform in countries like that. I mean, where were everyone when Gaga performed in Russia and Azerbaijan for example? Should artists just ignore their fans in those countries just because the governments are f*cked? In that case they might as well boycott the US too for electing Trump.

mariomania1234 11,368 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This trend of articles citing like three tweets as "backlash" is always amusing to me. But yeah, she took a big risk when she booked this performance.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,974 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I mean, it's to be expected so I'm not really surprised. I remember reading that her performance was going to be provocative and the event organizers weren't very pleased. So I wonder if she was going to do or say something related to the government's treatment of Palestine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we're on GGD with lots of Madonna haters so I'm not surprised. They are so desperate to bash Madonna as fast as they can that they don't remember Gagas actions.
