This is the only time I've ever enjoyed a Gaga song:



Best.****.Ever.

For all of her absurdity and ability to take herself a bit too seriously sometimes, Gaga is articulate and fairly intelligent, which makes me like her a lot more. I don't love her, but at least she's a departure from the run of the mill. I don't care about her "authenticity." You've got to start somewhere. Nobody exists in a vacuum. I've never understood why people's influences are used against them. No one accuses Stevie of being a copycat because she appropriated some random chick's look.

And to offset taking herself too seriously, she sometimes tells people to suck her hermie dick, so.

I also don't think she's hideous, but that's just from Italian schnozz to another.

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.

All I'll say is that if the Pop Music business were a war and Britney Spears, Christina Aquillera and the rest of that crowd were a battle, there's some generals who would be bouncing twice on the sidewalk for leaving such a blatant opportunity open for Lady GaGa to grab. .......

More power to her, I say. Like "Maverick" said in Top Gun,
"I saw I had the shot, there WAS no danger, so I TOOK it!"
GOOD for Lady G! ...

I personally love Gaga, I think she's one of the best things to come out of pop music in ages. People judge her because she has a knack of writing accessible pop music, but she is technically a great musician too. Better still, she can actually string a sentence together which seems to be an achievement nowadays in the entertainment industry.

I think Lady Gaga is okay. I'm not a fan but I can tolerate her songs more than I can some by other new artists.I guess the real question to me is when did it happen that women musicians had to look like(and act like) porn centerfolds to become 'famous'?
I know a lot of people will say this started with Madonna, but what is in the videos of Britney, Gaga, Rihanna, well, that's a different ballgame! On the off chance that I happen to watch MTV or VH-1, when there might happen to be an actual music video on, all the videos with women are sleazy. Yet the videos with men are nothing like that. Maybe I am too old to get why this is important to being a musician (I'm 35). If the record companies are making them dress like this to stay on the label, I don't know what to say.........
