I dont doubt that she is fact an artist, but that's not what her work represents.

You can hate her pretentiousness, you can hate her music, you can hate her style and her image, but you can't really say she's not an artist. She writes, she plays, she performs, she tries to shock and let's be honest: it works. Her pop music is the best written in years.

I hate to use phrases like "haters gonna hate" but I really can't understand why people are against her so viciously. As for the Madonna thing...Madonna's hardly talented. Sure, she's way more important as a revolutionary figure, but come on. Stop attacking what's popular just because she isn't any more.

1st - Im not a Gaga hater, I enjoy listening to her once in a while;
2nd - I didnt express myself properly, i shouldnt have said that she is not an artist, but I definetely dont think that her work represents art.

I agree on your first paragraph and also think it answers the second one. People hate her because - though there may be a bit of substance - a lot of people recognize that it is at the end of the day a case style over substance. Which is fine for pop. But it's the utterly blatant way she does it I suppose. Wearing outlandish outfits and posing rigor mortis in a way that is guaranteed to get her plastered in the sig and avatars of people who value those traits everywhere a day after the photoshoot because it 'just looks cool'.

She is no doubt a master at it. Probably one of the most effective cases of cult of image since our zany hipster western interpretation of Jesus Christ.

[Shaun]

Yeah. I agree with that - and I think the fans don't help.

[Stu]

She's a bit like Paramore. The fans drive me nuts and would render me unable to admit my true feelings for the band in public but they do have some nice beats when I think about it.

I actually don't even hate her. Quite enjoy her music. What I hate is her obsessed followers and their OTT praise of her and their desperate desire to parade themselves as one of her children! Probably because theyre dull and dreary and think that attaching themselves to her glamorosity in such an obsessive way somehow makes them look more interesting. Er, no. Personality wise, Gaga is a dead donkey. At least Madonna had an arrogance and sexual predatory feist about her.

And disrespecting the woman that is quite blatantly her biggest influence and inspiration is both ignorant and disrespectful. Yes, I mean Madonna. I seriously doubt there would be a Lady Gaga without her. Sure of it, in fact.

ps; personally I couldnt care less about Madonna still being top bitch. Her place in music history is already set in stone and a few more number ones won't change sh!t. Nobody can stay at the top forever, thats just a fact. But she sure stayed there for a damn sight longer than just about any other popstar. Let's see if gaga is still talked about in over 20 years time. She certainly will not be top bitch.

She should retire now, I just want to see her 'Monsters' cry and become depressed because believe me there would be some sad bastards that'd take a knife to their throat aswell the day she dies or stops making music.

[Shaun]

The duet sounds promising...it sounds very Beatles inspired. Any news on the Bowie collaboration?

[Smithy]

Yeah someone else said that!

And as of now it's still a rumor, but a rumor called Vinyl

How exactly?



Is it because you know you're probably one of the GaGa fans that would gather together to commit suicide the day she retires?
