Lady Gaga's Manila concerts face protests

(CNN) -- Christian groups in the Philippines planned to protest
Lady Gaga's performances there Monday and Tuesday, just after Muslim protests
have cast doubt whether she will be allowed to perform in Indonesia.
"This protest is not against
Lady Gaga as a person but on her music and on how she declares distorted views
about the Lord Jesus Christ," said Reuben Abante, bishop of Lighthouse
Bible Baptist Church and secretary-general of Biblemode Youth, which is leading
the protests.
Reached by phone, Abante said he
expected a couple thousand protesters outside the Manila venue, Mall of Asia
Arena, Monday night for a grand prayer rally before the concert. "We are
Christian Filipinos. She comes to our land. For us, this is something that
should not be shown to the youth we have."
His brother, the group's president,
is former Congressman Benny Abante, himself a pastor.
Of particular offense to the group
is the pop star's song, "Judas," with lyrics like, "Whoa whoa
I'm in love with Juda-as, Jud-as," "Jesus is my virtue and Judas is
the demon I cling to I cling to."
This is something that should not be
shown to the youth we have

Lady Gaga's Filipino promoter,
Ovation Productions, is run by Renen de Guia, who is described on the company's
website as a born-again Christian. Attempts to reach him were not successful.
When asked if Lady Gaga's concerts
could contravene Philippine laws, Loretta Ann P. Rosales, chairwoman of the
Commission on Human Rights, replied in an email, "The Philippines is proud
of the fact that we do indeed have one of the best Bill of Rights in our
Constitution that has the widest latitude as all other Constitutional
democracies in protecting freedom of thought, freedom of expression, freedom of
religion."
"I have heard raves over her
concert by Filipinos who have watched her," she added. "Maybe I shall
have a chance to enjoy her concert too one day."
It is not the first time Rosales and
Abante have faced off; in 2006, while both were in Congress, Abante had blocked
passage of an anti-discrimination bill co-authored by Rosales aimed at
protecting lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders.
For Lady Gaga, the protests in the
Philippines are the latest in her problematic Asian tour. Her provocative
lyrics and risqué costumes have prompted conservative Muslims in Indonesia to
call for the cancellation of her upcoming concert in Jakarta.
As of Monday, her Indonesian
promoter, Big Daddy Entertainment, was still trying to secure a permit, and the
June 3 event was still on, according to its website.
When she opened her tour in Seoul,
South Korea, last month, it was to concertgoers aged 18 and above after the
Korea Media Rating Board banned the show for minors, even with an accompanying
parent or guardian.
At the heart of Lady Gaga's
"Born This Way" tour is her message to gay youth to embrace and
accept their sexual identities.

(CNN) -- Lady Gaga may have to disappoint a lot of her
"little monsters" in Indonesia after Jakarta police recommended that
her sold-out June 3 show not be issued a permit because of security concerns.
"Yes, it is for sure, the
promoter will not get a permit to hold the concert," National Police
spokesman Saud Usman Nasution said Tuesday.
The concert promoter, Big Daddy
Entertainment, declined to comment on the development.
"Please wait for further
official information from us," spokesman Alif Ramadoni said.
There has been an outcry against
Lady Gaga performing among Islamists and conservative Muslims, who say her
revealing costumes and sensual dance moves are "haram," an Arabic
term that means "forbidden by Islamic law."
The chairman of the Islamic
Defenders Front, Habib Rizieq, said his group could not guarantee what might
happen, as far as security goes, if the concert were held.
The pop star was given a thumbs-down
in March by a "high-ranking member" of the country's highest Islamic
authority, according to The Jakarta Globe.
The report said that Indonesian
Council of Ulema chairman Cholil Ridwan was urging Muslims not to attend the
overtly sexy and controversial singer's upcoming concert in Jakarta.
"[The concert is] intended to
destroy the nation's morality," Ridwan told the Globe.
Ridwan is concerned that the singer's
revealing outfits and sexy dance moves will set a bad example for Muslim
youths.
Newspaper reports said more than
25,000 tickets were sold in the first two hours after the concert went on sale
in March. Police said the promoter should not have started selling tickets
before getting a permit.
This isn't the first bit of
controversy during the singer's "Born This Way" tour. Gaga also ran
afoul of Christian groups in South Korea, prompting the government to ban kids
under the age of 18 from attending her show.
Ahead of the concert in late April,
detractors called it "pornographic" and a promotion of homosexuality.
Yoon Jung-hoon, a reverend who
helped organize the "Civilians Network against the Lady Gaga Concert"
movement, told the Chicago Tribune that his group collected 5,000 supporters on
Facebook. He also advocated a boycott of the show's sponsor, Hyundai Card, in
addition to Hyundai Motor Co., Korea's largest automaker.
"Some people can accept this as
another culture, but its impact is huge beyond art and debases religions,"
Yoon said. "Even adults can't see her performance, which is too homosexual
and pornographic."
The show went on as scheduled.

Lady Gaga Responds To Religious Protests With Emotional
Speech During Manila Concert (Video)

Lady Gaga has had a rough couple of weeks. What
should have been a celebratory kick-off to her "Born This Way Ball"
has been marred in controversy, as the pop superstar has encountered protests from religious groups at
nearly every turn.
The tour's first show in Seoul,
South Korea, was marred by protests from Christian groups saying
Mother Monster was "obscene" and could "taint" young people
with her performance. The protestors even managed to get the Korea Media Rating
Board to elevate the age rating for the concert from 12 to
18, prohibiting minors from seeing the show.
She encountered similar troubles in the Philippines,
where her May 21 and 22 concerts in Manila were met with similar derision from
Christian groups claiming her lyrics are blasphemous and that the sentiment
behind songs like "Born this Way" promotes "promiscuity"
and homosexuality. A few days before the first concert, anti-riot police were
forced to stop hundreds of protestors from descending on the venue. Gaga responded
to the hubbub today on Twitter, saying, "And don't
worry, if I get thrown in jail in Manila, Beyonce will just bail me out. Sold
out night 2 in the Philippines. I love it here!"
Then there is her planned June 3
show in Indonesia, which is entirely different animal in that the show is
courting not only protests and governmental interference, but Gaga is being threatened with violence by radical
Islamic groups in the country. "The Jakarta situation is 2-fold:
Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious extremist
separately, are threatening violence," Gaga tweeted earlier today.
She's responded briefly on the
controversies on Twitter, but now the pop star finally addressed the
controversy at length. During her concert today in Manila, Gaga spoke to the audience about
the protests, saying, "I just feel like, you know, so many people have
been protesting and it really doesn't bother me truly because I know that there
has to be change, but for all those kids all over the world that take their
lives when they're so young because they feel bullied or they're afraid because
they're gay and they don't want to tell anybody, don't you think that some of
us should stand up and say the god**n truth?"
Read on to see the video and read
Gaga's in-concert statement in full.
I just feel like, you know, so many people have been protesting and it really doesn't bother me truly because I know that there has to be change, but for all those kids all over the world that take their lives when they're so young because they feel bullied or they're afraid because they're gay and they don't want to tell anybody, don't you think that some of us should stand up and say the godd**mn truth? It's true. It's not about the music, it's not about, it's not about anything, it's not about my clothes, it's not about having a hit record, it's the fucking goddamn truth that people in the world need to be free of who they are and be proud and feel valuable no matter where they are."
