Donny Osmond critical of Lady Gaga, Beyonce video
Donny Osmond is the latest celebrity who has been critical of Lady Gaga’s and Beyonce’s music video for “Telephone.”
On his radio show, Osmond said
“I’m all for freedom of speech and against any form of censorship, but all I know is that I’m a parent and I’m upset about this. I wouldn’t want my child to watch this video. Would you? What do you think? Should these two extremely gifted female role models for millions of young girls, maybe, have given a little more thought to the effect it might have on their core audience?”
The music video shows Lady Gaga wearing scantily clad clothes, and she kisses a woman while she’s locked up in jail. It also shows Lady Gaga and Beyonce killing customers at a diner by putting poison in their food.
If Osmond doesn’t want his children to watch the video, then don’t let them watch it. Just like if people don’t want their children to watch the violence in horror movies or soft-core porn on Cinemax, then don’t let them watch it. It’s as simple as that. No need to raise a big fuss over it.
Earlier this week, R&B singer India Arie also criticized the video. Click the link to see Arie’s comments.
