Re: Lady GaGa Thread
She understands that to have as high a level as fame as she does it requires you to constantly be in the spotlight. The way she dresses and acts is a way to get attention on her and away from other people. It works.
Her song sounding a little like Madonna is just to get people talking about it. She's not stealing from any other artists. She understands how the music industry works today and she's using that knowledge to full advantage.
It works because it's taking attention away from her actual talent level, which isn't very high. She's not "stealing" from anybody, she's using every cookie-cutter music format out there to make marginally okay songs. Then she gets attention for her antics and appearance while she's marketed at a high level. That isn't talent, that's manufactured bullshit. There's no difference between her and Miley Cyrus.

Obviously it works. She's sticking to a formula that has gotten her extremely famous and successful. I get that. I wasn't disputing that. Simply saying, I'm over it. It's beyond annoying at this point. Of course it really doesn't matter what I think. I'm certainly not going to slow her down one bit. She's got her millions of "Little Monsters" that will continue to follow her, regardless of how more ridiculous she becomes.
Re: Lady GaGa Thread
I still don't get it. She's a little-talent hack pumped up by stealing other people's ideas, trying too hard to be shocking, and overplay on pop radio. She's the thing that most of you complain about in every other case...why the fascination with her?
That's a very valid point, but I think the quality of her songs and the catchiness of them overall is what keeps her appealing above the level of all the other rip offs.
I got to be honest, when I listen to her, and like what she's doing, I actually don't like what SHE is doing specifically herself, I just hear all kinds of elements from artists of the past that I really like, and it's kind of like revisionist fun for awhile.
Write this down, her songs will NOT live in infamy. This is a moment, make no mistake.

There's a large difference between her and Miley Cyrus. For one, Lady Gaga can actually sing and write her own songs. Miley Cyrus is a fucking joke.

As I said, no difference.

Re: Lady GaGa Thread
I have been a fan of most of her big hits, but "Born This Way" sucks IMHO. It's just not daring enough considering tracks like "Bad Romance" or "Poker Face." And considering she had such a great song like "Speechless" on her previous album, it's disappointing that she comes out with this song as the lead single for her new album. Makes me think the rest of it isn't very good either.

TOMMY LEE 'Would Love' To Work With LADY GAGA - Apr. 8, 2011
MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee told the Artisan News Service that he would love to one day work with pop superstar Lady Gaga — and not just because she is one of the biggest artists in the world.
"I totally get it, man," he said. "And depending on what she's influenced by, I can tell — because I see her rocking MÖTLEY CRÜE shirts, so she's definitely a rocker, and she obviously, stylistically, with her music, she's very talented; she plays crazy piano and sings her ass off. She likes the modern dance and club shit, so she's basically throwing it all in there, and that's what I'm into, and that's what I'm doing — essentially throwing it all in there, from electro to fucking metal; I like it all. There's a girl I would love to do something with one day, man; it'd be really cool. We would probably come up with some sick shit."
