Controversy
The album "Love & War" features zero mention of Jesus' name in the lyrics, including variants such as "Christ", "Messiah", "Lamb" and more.
Since disbanding in October 2012, the band has been accused of compromising on its previous stances of purity, anti-abortion and anticonformity.
In 2013, while the band was operating a BarlowGirl Merch liquidation sale, two band members gave accolades to Beyoncé. Lauren expressed her approval for the solo singer in January 2013 after hearing her perform at Barack Obama's second inauguration. In addition to approving of the pro-abortion president's second term under the claims that she wants "to be nice to anyone that has different views than us", and in addition to idolizing Kelly Clarkson,[1] she also tweeted: "If Beyonce [sic] runs for president in 4 years, I'm totally voting for her...." Some fans disapproved of this, with responses such as the following: "WHY?!?!?!?!", "I do hope you are kidding" and "popularity votes are what got this late term baby killer elected".[2] It was later revealed that Beyoncé lip-synced this performance. Later in October 2013, Alyssa complimented that artist's song "Run The World", calling it "the appropriate song for the moment" while watching her "5 year old niece get a trophy for most touchdowns."[3] Beyoncé has partnered with Victoria's Secret, the NFL and the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise.
