Shame about the show in Jakarta being cancelled although not really a surprise, I feel sorry for all the fans that bought tickets.

Regarding the cancellation, I return to the comment I made the other day...silly people trying to control everyone and slamming their attitudes and opinions on everyone else

It really sucks that the Jakarta show has been cancelled, due to some spoilsports (to put it mildly!). You just know some people are going to have a field day with this though.

When will their faves be culturally relevant enough in Indonesia to sell out a 40k stadium, ignite religious outcry that threatens 30k protestors which results in the government having to ban/cancel the show?

Haha! I know it happens to very few, I know Madonna has always had problems, the Pope himself urged people to boycott the Blond Ambition Tour in Rome, so she had to cancel the show

It's not fair that they've both had to cancel shows due to silly ignorant people living in the dark ages

These two articles I came across show that some people are pissed by how Indonesia is run.

Article 1

Article 2

A damn shame.

The irony of it is that nobody shouts louder in the name of tolerance than Gaga yet her concert has been cancelled because of intolerance

God himself must promote devil worship, in that case.

Those polls are absolutely ridiculous, the fans who made them are clearly pressed about one another.

LOL at the MF. "Lady Gaga Lipsyncs!" Uhh, that's called singing, dears, it's what they're supposed to do LMAO It's why no sound comes out if she doesn't move her mouth.

I'd love to see anyone attempt to sing a studio version of Heavy Metal Lover live You have to be a complete tool to claim that the HBO special of TMB wasn't entirely live - then again there do appear to be some sad people in the Main Forum

So is the Jakarta concert cancelled completely? Or just postponed? She must be pretty upset and angry about it!

Don't bother about the lip-syncing thing - if people want to think that then they're misguided but that's their opinion. Everybody always acts like there's one rule for everybody else and another for Gaga. Like nobody else has used backing tracks? Suddenly that's lip-syncing? What about Beyonce? Madonna? Xtina? Janet?

I guess the point is that Gagas always made a big thing about not miming, and I do think the backing track is too loud sometimes - she doesn't need it (though maybe for stamina she does) it'd be nice to hear her more on tracks like BR and the more production heavy ones.

Gaga's a brilliant live vocalist, so no matter.

Very true and frankly the people who don't like her still won't no matter what she does or what you say so best to ignore them and they will eventually wander off and attack someone else

RE miming, you think the OP would've used a clip where it actually looked like she was miming.

I've asked several times in that thread for a clip of her miming, and not got one, so there''s the proof in itself.

Yeah you guys are totally right

Better just to let everybody have their opinion and not try to change it as it's impossible really. You can't be liked by everybody...

TBTWB has grossed $30 million from just 8 shows so far.

Spoiler


http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/chart...ntboxscore.jsp

+

Gaga's been awarded by BMI for her songwriting on Born This Way and The Edge of Glory.


+

Gaga has been named #5 on Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list (May 2011 - May 2012). She was #1 last year, and noted she's only placed lower this year because she didn't tour.

"Last year's top celeb slides from No.1 on our list due to a lack of touring, but stays near the top because of her tremendous social media influence. With over 24 million followers, she's the world's most popular Twitter user; her 50 million Facebook fans are more than any other celebrity aside from Eminem and Rihanna. Thanks to multiple older hits as well as her latest album, Born This Way, the singer-songwriter still makes plenty of money off of music sales."

+

New clips of Gaga on The Simpsons:

I love how tongue-in-cheek this appearance is. Should win people over who think she takes herself too seriously.

$30mil from 8 shows?! Slay,bitch,slay! I love the clips as well. Matt Groening stanning for her was pretty nice to see,considering how many big names have guested on the show. As for Forbes,I reckon she'll be back in the top 3 , maybe even Number 1 again,next year. No biggie.
