Who is 'us lot'? Did you go see her with Gazza and the boys?

Because she can only sing a bit when shes stood still. She isn't autotuned within an inch of her life for no reason

Us as in the Thatters I saw her twice when she supported TT. Was meant to see her three times,but she had a big strop about lightning and refused to perform at 2 of their shows,hence the booing when she did perform a week later.

yes we did? there was no one like her in the mainstream. Her fashion was always out there her music had little quirks. It's called growing and maturing as an artist.

She sounded awful to me and was just random and kept saying stuff like 'I can't believe how many people are here' as if to see her *rolls eyes* And she took the longest fricking changes ever.

Ahhh, didn't think she'd be supporting them, seems an odd mix

If the Lady Gaga we know today was genuinely the same one as a year ago (ie not pushed by a PR team and all on her own merit) then why didn't she jump into her 'quirkiness' from day 1, and why have we been gradually introduced and told how quirky she is?

Look back at her Just Dance video, she seems practically normal.

I saw one video of her from a few years back I presume. She had dark hair and a tan and was wearing a plain dark dress and flip flops. It is clear she has not always been this quirky or unique, so it does make me wonder if this is just a gimmick.

It was. They had The Saturdays,James Morrison,The Script and then Lady GaGa. It just didn't work at all.

I have a larger respect for people who write their own music, but I can appreciate those who don't aswell if they're a good artist.

All them before TT? Guess to be a Thatter you need to have a little patience

But it was just a bit different. Then it grew a bit more in Pokerface, then we were lead to believe she had a screw loose during Paparazzi and thats when her quirkiness really took off. Noone had really noticed until then. We've been given more and more as each video progresses until the last couple of months where shes emerged as a fully blown freak. It has been manufactured because it has been eased into us.

Theres no wondering about it, it IS a gimmick. Just look at her silly tea cup for that

Lol no,they switched around! I think they did 4 dates each or were meant to at least. GaGa did 2 and The Script ended up doing 5. Gary Go was on first and then one of them,then Take That :P

Anyways I've gone way off topic as per usual *gets outta thread*

You saw the Jonathan Ross interview then? Probably the most cringe-worthy interviews I have ever seen! I dunno what was wrong with her that night, usually she's quite charismatic.

Of course it's all down to how it sounds of course, but it's still possible to keep 'real' and manufactured music seperate in your head. I listen to plenty of pop, but I keep it to one side in my brain. It's like watching a dumb action movie to chill out. 'Real' music is my passion.

Sure it's all noise but it should still be possible to evaluate. What does Britney Spears actually do that contributes towards her being a musical artist, for instance? Not a whole lot.

So when it may all be sounds in your head I believe it is completely within out rights to say, free from being pretentious, that some of them are more 'real artists' than others.

Sorry if that sounded awkward, but it's 8:34 and the brain has not kicked in yet .

[xDramatick]

Eh, I'll listen to whatever I think sounds good.
However, I only have respect for those artists who write, have creative input into their music and perform live.

edit;; oh & Enid, she didn't really start forming the Lady GaGa persona 'til late 06 / early 07 iirc.
vids of her with dark hair like the one where she's like.. 16? and performing 'Captivated' and 'Electric Kiss', is Stefani.
'Lady GaGa' was created after one of her team described her performances as theatrical, and due to being on quite a low budget, she'd dress:



which is how 'Lady GaGa' began.
she can't wear all the unique, quirky fashion style clothes she wears now if she couldn't afford, hence the mis-matched coloured leotards, random disco balls and underwear+heels combinations.
