Young Lady GaGa Copycats Flood YouTube

I’m not one to get too bent out of shape if I hear kids singing along with Lady GaGa or Beyonce. Throughout primary school, I listened to songs with risqué lyrics (I remember performing a dance to “Like a Virgin” to my shell-shocked parents in fourth grade), and I didn’t end up pole dancing for a living. But neither did I videotape myself singing the song as seductively as possible, and then post it to the World Wide Web, which is what a bunch of young wannabe Lady GaGas have apparently been up to.

And it’s hard to imagine any (healthy) adult who wouldn’t feel disturbed watching a young girl sassily pout her lips and suggestively twirl her hair as she sings lyrics like, “I’ll get him hot, show him what I’ve got,” and, “I’m bluffin’ with my muffin.”

It’s inevitable that kids are going to hear songs with sexually explicit lyrics from time to time, and most likely, learn to sing along with the catchiest of them. Listening to an inappropriate song or two is not going to screw up any child for life who has involved parents. But for children who get most of their sex ed. from pop culture, copying Lady GaGa is a frightening prospect indeed—and would parents who are involved allow their children to post videos like these to YouTube?

The boy, you may be interested to know, goes by the stage name JesseJigalow.
