Babies Perform Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'

Cute

lady gaga baby telephone We'll say it again and again: the internet is completely lacking in its parodies and tributes to Lady Gaga. Does the internet even know who Lady Gaga is? She's a world-famous cultural icon and yet YouTube is all, like, "Sorry, it's still Beyonce-time."

Just kidding. JK JK JK!!!!! Lady Gaga might as well be Al "56K" Gore at this point, she's so internutty. She practically owns us. And now some babies have been positioned and manipulated at the hands of savvy adults who understand that YouTube is not only gaga for Gaga, but for babies too.

Normally, we wouldn't necessarily be on board with the whole making-babies-do-stuff thing, but when an infant is surrounded by dancers and she sits there, puzzled and without responsibility, it's anything but a bad romance.

This was a horrible video. Not even a good parody. What a shame.

Sad statement on today's culture. Objectification of young children never a good thing!

What in the hell is this world coming to when it is JUST OK for a little toddler to be in a video with women dancing like that in the background and singing a song about hanging out at a club with a drink in their hand. This is not even cute! It is discusting and I guess who ever the parent is just wants to show other parents how to corrupt their babies at an early age... discusting .. and those parents should be ashamed.

I like lady Gaga, and understand a lot of people don't. But, I like her because I think she is a great ADULT entertainer, and her outfits and messges in her songs are suited to those aged late teens up to any age adult. However, I don't think her style of music tranlates well at all down to a child's level. I personally believe that the exploitation of children for any reason, whether it is to sell something or gain popularity (whatever the use) is debasing to the innocence of childhood. Yes, I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but that's just my opinion, and I've expressed it. No, I don't need to "lighten up", in that I'm pretty lightened up by nature anyway! Let kids be kids, and let adults be adults.

I say, that whenever babies utter their first word, "Gaga",
it shouldn't be interpited to parents as saying "Lady Gaga".
Whoever's babies they are, their parents or grandparents
must've taken the reverse end of that, and thought otherwise,
so they thought, "Hey, I bet they know who Lady Gaga is, so
let's make them dance to Lady Gaga." To top it all off,
Beyonce & Lady Gaga's "Telephone". which has been banned
in Germany is the song they happen to be dancing to. Why,
even Beyonce's latest song, Why Don't You Love Me" has
generated enough contraversy to have that video banned.
When it comes to Lady Gaga, a line has to be drawn somewhere,
but appearantly, no lines were drawn for Lady Gaga, here.

I refuse to watch the video. The thought of people thinking this is okay is just another sign that society has lost it's morality. Children are in pageants dressed as floozies and now they have babies dancing or whatever to Lady Gaga. And you can't blame the babies, it is all the parents who lost their sense of morality. They care more about media attention than anything. Some parents these days should not be parents and Society should not support this type of thing. Just sad, what is the baby going to turn out to be? I don't even want to think about it.

Connie I completely agree that the role parents take in pageants is wrong because it really is alllll about the parents and their insecurity issues and not the children having fun. but i think this video is FARRRRRR from as damaging as those pageants.

LMFAO!!! yes because that makes PERFECT sense jenna. you are a sad person if you think someone not caring about unimportant things makes them a slut. take a look around you jenna, we've got a ocean full of oil, women being widowed by war and children starving on our streets. those things are much more important than worrying about a video made by a bunch of bored parents trying to make themselves a viral hit in the attempts at fame and fortune.

but if i'm a slut, than i'm f*cking proud. because you, miss jenna are a crabass, and we all know people like sluts more than crabasses. :)

WOW, Amber really has some morality issues if she can't what's wrong here. Hopefully she is not a parent, and if not, let's hope she NEVER EVER procreates unless she puts it up for adoption.

oh and TS let me add to your "HORROR". I am a childcare provider and I'm also a psychologist.

Dangerously misinformed Amber, Your child care and psych licenses should be revoked until you understand it's always zero tolerance when it comes to child exploitation. Nothing should ever be presumed as "innocent" and "not in harm" when it comes to child welfare.

So what you're saying is that you lied about being a psychologist? That pretty much destroys any credibility you may have had up to now. So it's pointless to continue any intelligent discussion with you.

No, it just means that it's easier to work with your fears than your actual knowledge.

But I'm glad you're done with all this nonsense because so am I.

Stop the psychobabble Amber. These are CHILDREN and the "fear" here is for their SAFETY. Not PERCEIVED fear, but REAL fear and in our society today their SAFETY is our foremost concern. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Never once said it wasn't Kathy, I just stated I didn't think the amount of fear thrown at this simple 2 min video was necessary.

But that's just the point dear heart, it IS offensive and the predominant rational response here reflects that. Those who cannot see a problem with it or think it's overblown are treading on dangerous ground and NEED setting straight. YOU need setting straight if you really think it's not that big of a deal.
