There’s an online debate brewing over the web’s newest viral star: Baby Gaga. In just five days, a toddler-driven video spoof of Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s controversial short film has garnered more than 1 million views on YouTube. But child psychologists and some parents fear that the parody — which features 3-year-old Keira Ladrow in heavy makeup, dancing, while wearing handcuffs — is just the latest in a string of racy virals vids heating up the web.
Nearly 5,000 YouTube subscribers are weighing in on the debate One called the video “The cutest thing ever.” Another wrote, “So what? She’s in handcuffs, (it) makes it more theatrical.” But many Gaga fans are put off by this latest tribute to one of music’s brightest stars: “There are no excuses for using a child this young for a parody.”
On The Early Show Tuesday, host Maggie Rodriguez spoke with Baby Gaga director Jake Wilson and Heidi Ladrow, whose daughter was featured in a Lady Gaga spoof. Psychotherapist Heide Banks also weighs in.
