Tel Aviv was magnificent, star singer says in interview, and its people are in good spirits
Pop star Lady Gaga says the worlds image of Israel is inaccurate, calling the country a beautiful place.
Oh it was fantastic! said Lady Gaga in an interview published Friday by The Independent, talking about her September 13 performance in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv was magnificent. The world view of Israel is just not reality. Its in a beautiful place, the people are in good spirits.
I had a very emotional show with those fans. It was wonderful, she said.
The 28-year-old singer also said her duet at the Tel Aviv show with famed crooner Tony Bennett was not planned, but was rather his idea.
And I was very overwhelmed when Tony surprised me there. I knew he was coming in [to Tel Aviv] for a show, but he came a day early and he said: Hey, you wanna sing Anything But Love at the ArtRave? And I thought: Gosh, how magnificent! To bridge the jazz and the pop world at the same time. And at that show there were 25,000 people singing every word.

What do you mean by that creepy statement ?
Does it mean I get reported to some extreme right wing group who hates Jews , Gays and Israel ?
What exactly do you mean ?

WTF ?

(25,699 posts)We're well aware that you take great pride and joy in the killing and oppression of Palestinians. Your breathless joy at everything you perceive to be a failure of BDS makes it pretty clear, over and over again.
Do you feel threatened to have your love of brutality noted?

(25,699 posts)You're so over the deep end, because I point out that you are continuously showing everyone that you celebrate and take pride in the oppression and brutalization of Palestinians.

(25,699 posts)Spend half a day rockstarring around Tel Aviv, and the other half performing, before retiring to one's hotel room... isn't a particularly good way to get insight into the matters that Israel wins criticism over.
Kinda like dismissing the oppression of Tibet on basis that you stayed in a really nice hotel after a night of gambling in Macau one time.

Now I'm sure Lady Gaga is the voice of all knowing when it comes to Israel just like her duet with Tony Bennett was totally spontaneous
