Lady GaGa and Controversial are two words you might be all-too familiar with hearing in the same sentence, but after checking out the video for her latest single Bad Romance, I’ve got to say, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Don’t get me wrong, as soon as I heard the video was online I HAD to check it out right away, and it is (as per usual) GaGa-tastic with mind blowing wardrobe choices and an utterly bizarre storyline, let’s face it, after committing a fake suicide on stage at an awards ceremony this year, and killing her boyfriend in her last music video, this one had to go one better, but making yourself look like an anorexic… isn’t that a bit too far?

Whilst I have no shame in admitting I can’t get enough of Lady GaGa’s remarkable dress sense and I wish, wish, wish I could just spend five minutes with her, I am kind of disgusted by what I see at 2.15 on this video – because with the amount of young girls who thing she’s the bee’s knees, this is surely setting the wrong example?

I’m not going to assume Lady GaGa would be all too bothered – because you don’t see girls walking around in porcelain dresses or covered in plastic bubbles – but it’s the principle of the thing; GaGa looks pretty naked in the clip, so kids might assume she’s naked (and therefore ridiculously skinny) in real like too.

Whilst other parts of the video shows her looking rather healthy (and gorgeous) in just her underwear, this small part has ruined yet another masterpiece from miss GaGa… I just think as a role model to young women she should have thought this one through a little better.

I know Christina Aguilera shows the same body types in her video for ‘Beautiful’ but wasn’t that telling people that ‘You are beautiful, no matter what they say?’ when we see GaGa surrounded by hot men albeit in a rather weird setting, I know there would be people wishing to be in her shoes.

So, what do you think? Is it too much, or am I overreacting?
