First off, I am a fan of Lady Gaga. I have been since April 08, way before her album was even released or touched the charts. It was amazing to see the success come her way because the music is awesome, but one of the things I always enjoyed about her was how unique she was. There wasn't anyone else like her, but now I'm finding it increasingly difficult to be a fan of hers because I feel like she's taking this image too far. Images like this:





Shock me. Please don't give me the "it's her unique style look" answer, because there's a huge difference between artistry and pretention and she really needs to learn that. Her interview/performance on Jonathan Ross really just sealed the deal for me as well. I now believe stunts like this are just her wanting more attention, when really its just driving more negative backlash her way. This is a reason I'm finding it difficult to be a fan of hers right now. I'll forever enjoy her music, but she as a person is changing and I don't like it.

Does anyone else have any opinions on this? I didn't post this in the Lady Gaga thread because I didn't want it to get unnoticed and I'm also interested in reading the opinions of members who aren't fans and wouldn't look in the thread anyway.
