<p>Grammy Award winning R&B/soul singer India Arie respects Lady Gaga and Beyonce but calls the "Telephone" music video "socially irresponsible" !</p><p>Sharing her thoughts via Twitter over the weekend, the "I Am Not My Hair" singer told fans "I agree gaga is being her image .. I dig her creative mind But still … Thers a such thing as socially irresponsible… I’m just sayin."</p><p>Referencing the phrase "pushing the envelope," Arie went on to say "There’s an artist ever 10 years who pushes the envelope … but its bout to fall off the Table. When is it too far? I respect the creative mind but disagree with the "choices" as a dish meant to be served for mass consumption…"</p><p>Nearly ten minutes in length the "Telephone" music video has been celebrated and slammed since its release. Some calling it a masterpiece, while others have been outraged over sexual innuendos, partial nudity and girl on girl kissing. While Arie credits Gaga for being creative, she believes certain parts of the video are simply going too far for a mainstream audience.</p><p>"I’m not referring to the abstract nature of the video … I’m talking about the IMAGERY – the unspoken back story, the language the message. Its not long before somebody does a straight NAKED video. Not like Alanis morrisette "thank you india" like NAKED dancing around. LOLhahaha. Crazy to me that the Dark, underbelly, s shock at all cost thing is a TREND like asymetrical hair and big shoulder jackets .Slippery slope!"</p>
