Jakarta, May 23: Pop diva  Lady Gaga is as confused as anyone about whether she'll be allowed to perform in Indonesia.


Islamic hard-liners have threatened violence, saying her sexy clothes and provocative dance moves could corrupt youth.

Police initially denied a permit for the “Born This Way Ball” but are now hinting the concert could ahead if the pop diva toned down the show.

She tweeted Tuesday:

“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.”

What she meant wasn't clear, and her promoters have not commented.

Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim nation of 240 million people, was supposed to be the biggest show on Lady Gaga's Asian tour.
