Lady Gaga

[tilthefirefades]

So I basically have a rant in store First off let me say that in the beginning I loved her music. Last year she was the soundtrack to my summer, when it was simply fun catchy pop music. Perfect for the summer time. Then, all of a sudden, she became this icon, and captured my generation. I do not understand how she is an icon, nor where people get the idea that she is some fresh, new, creative entity. Now let me say this, if people would stop placing her on this pedestal above all other creation, I might would still enjoy her. There are many things that trouble me about her, let me list them:

-Her huge amount of gay fans. If I could obtain some amount of public attention, and claim that I just love the gays, it would be an immediate fan base. I really don't think she cares too much about my life, nor any other fellow LGBT people.

-The fact that people are claiming that she is better than Madonna. Madonna being the woman who, IMO, started the revolution of provocative women in the pop world. Not to mention that she is a true icon.

-That people think that Christina Aguilera is copying Lady Gaga. Christina being the one alongside Britney Spears who helped shape what Madonna started into modern pop genre and style. Christina had her "dirty" phase back in 02 (I think) and that, to me, was shocking. Only her exception was the talent before and after it to make it worthwhile and enjoyable.

-And finally, is it really that over the top? What sparked my creating this thread, is the massive amount of my friends who agree with me. Also seeing Viv's sig pic made me see that I am not the only one who is over Lady Gaga's evil rule. Cigarette glasses, bra and panties, stupid hair, all of it. It's not really that over the top, unless you make it such. Lady Gaga is only doing what Madonna did in the 80's, and what Manson did in the 90's.

Anyway, what does everyone else think about her?
