Donny OsmondSinging legend Donny Osmond is slamming Lady Gaga and Beyonce for including "profanity and sexual exploitation along with nudity, and graphic violence" in their Telephone video. The star is insisting he's "upset as a parent." Donny admits he was shocked to see the very saucy scenes in the new promo, in which Gaga was stripped naked by prison guards and groped by a woman, before dancing while wearing a thong. The video also shows Beyonce act out a poisoning scene, killing a man by lacing his food with a toxic substance. And Osmond is worried young fans will be subjected to the explicit images.
He says to E-Online, "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. Unlike 20 years ago, in today's modern, viral world in which content becomes instantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music industry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to making an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence available to anyone with Internet access. "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?"
MY THOUGHT...ok..i have not seen this video yet, have been looking for it like mad...yeah..really, but...is the video really worth all this drama?...

i think this is highly ridiculous...WHAT????????????????/
I watched the video on youtube.it's about 11mins long. Interesting but a bit too edgy.it does have Lady Gaga showing a lot of skin. A diner filled with people were murdered by Lady gaga while Bey poisoned her man.
You have to watch it to understand. Don't blame these people for speaking against it. The violence in the world is getting outta hand. Celebrities are role models and people esp. children look up to them.
