yxi 4,999 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Lady GaGa's 'X Factor' performance has attracted over 200 complaints. The 'Applause' singer and her backing dancers appeared on the ITV show wearing flesh coloured bikinis as she took to the stage for a mashup of her latest release 'Venus' and single 'Do What U Want'. The TV watchdog is now assessing whether to launch a full investigation into the show, which aired the raunchy clip prior to the 9pm watershed. An Ofcom Spokesman said: "We will assess all the complaints received on this issue before deciding whether to investigate." Some people voiced their upset at the performance - which came half an hour before the nine PM watershed - with Jane Faram tweeting: "Unfortunately I'm watching the X Factor & so are lots of young impressionable kids. (sic)" Joannna Parker echoed her sentiment writing: "Seriously this is the rotten level we've come to for our kids to watch this debauched s**t on a Sunday night." Vivienne Pattison, director of Mediawatch UK, told the Daily Mail: "The X Factor are doing everything they can to keep their ratings up. I don't think things like this should be in TV. It is damaging to the children who watch the show." An ITV spokesperson defended Gaga's performance - watched by an estimated 10 million people - saying: "We do not believe Lady GaGa's performance was inappropriate for the family audience of the show, which has an established tradition of performances from the biggest music stars. She's well known for her highly individual style."

Didymus 34,379 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well, I also thought DWYW was unnecessarily "s-xy", but Venus was not vulgar in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
