Lady Gaga's concert in Indonesia was forced to be cancelled due to protests from Islamic leaders who have called the singer "vulgar". Her sold-out concert in Jakarta was pulled after she was denied a permit to the country. But now, it seems that the show might still go on in Jakarta, as Gaga's promoters are currently in talks with the Indonesian government officials.

Gaga herself seems to be unsure of what is going on. She tweeted: "The Jakarta situation is 2-fold: Indonesian authorities demand I censor the show & religious extremist separately, are threatening violence. If the show does go on as scheduled, I will perform the BTWBall alone."

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way Ball" tour, kicked off in South Korea on April 27. She had faced protests from  Christian groups there - and Christian groups had prayed that the concert will be called off. However, the Seoul Olympic stadium was packed out with 50,000 fans. But concert-goers had to be at least 18 years old to enter the venue because Gaga's concerts were deemed too pornographic. 

Her concert in the Philippines also faced some protests from a Christian youth group. However, the two concerts in Manila took place without any trouble. 

Gaga's concert in Jakarta was slated for June 3. Who knows - There may still be time to salvage the concert if her team and Indonesia' s government come to a middle ground.
