Image stuff aside at least she writes most of her own **** and can carry a tune. That's more than can be said for a lot of "pop stars" out there today. And to a certain point you do have to sacrifice some of your integrity and give into the label's demands. It's just the price you pay for being uber-famous in this business. Even Stevie would agree with that. No one as famous as Lady Ga Ga has 100% control over their image.

Is that why she posed topless? She's a walking contradiction.

People think she's this amazing and brave new thing but I have 2 words for her and her fans.

And the inevitable upcoming backlash?

To me, LG reminds me SO much of Dale Bozzio from Missing Persons. The crazy hair, outfits, Dale did it all before Gaga.

I noticed one of the covers to LG's album singles (I think it might have been some remixs, possibly) had that same colorful streak across her eyes just like the album cover for Spring Session M.

So I love GaGa. Am I in the drastic minority here?

Yeah I know what you are talking about, I don't remember what cover it was but I remember seeing it and the SSM cover definitely came in mind.

Isn't it possible that the record label wants her to have a sexy image even if she's not that crazy about the idea? Also, you can pose topless and have it be done with some class. Have you seen the photos?
