According to the San Fransisco Gate Newspaper, Anti-suicide advocates are upset by Lady GaGa's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. They claim that the performance "romanticizing suicide" with her performance of song "Paparazzi."We all seen the performance and if you didn't you can check it out here. However, GaGa revealed that the performance represented her private life being killed by the paparazzi. Bosses at U.K. teen suicide prevention group PAPYRUS were outraged, calling the idea "irresponsible." In a statement, a rep for the charity says, "This act is not cool -- sensationalizing and romanticizing suicide is irresponsible. "Celebrities, who are often idolized by young people, need to be more aware of the impact that such acts can have on vulnerable young people."
Personally, when i saw the performance i though Phantom of the Opera. The performance to me wasn't extreme and it defiantly fit the song "Paparazzi." I think sometimes groups like this who feel really passionate about their cause. Can get lost in it. I respect that, but it's not that serious in this case. Then again, i could be insensitive to the issue. (I've battled with suicide)
