And exactly what statement is Lady Gaga pushing with her antics? Insane clothing? Banal, egotistical interviews? At least Madonna had a message, and issues she wanted to conquer: sexuality, women's rights, religion, etc. Madonna's songs and media stunts were always about bolstering the underdog: gays, women, those who were repressed by religion, etc. Lady Gaga seems intent on only bolstering Lady Gaga. It irks me to no end.

Yeah, I'm already over her music. I've burnt Alejandro out. Putting on The Immaculate Collection now. So now I don't like the superfluous fans, or the superfluous music.
