The Lady Gaga Thread

[bellcurve]

Yeah, I agree. That was pretty weak.

[Sylph]

It's this tedious meme Sylph is the hater, there is nothing he likes etc., which no one gives a [!@#$%^&*] about anymore. Nor was it ever true, but hey, whatever.

[Soapsuds]

You dont like anything is what I mean...I never see you praise anything....lol

[Sylph]

Utterly irrelevant, no one wants to know. Back to Lady Gaga. But before – I have to add the two other ones I forgot: the hipster troll one and doesn't watch soaps. Amusing.

Lady Gaga time.

[All My Shadows]

Nonsense. Sylph loves Hidden Palms.

But back to Gaga. She needs to be more like P!nk in that "Bae, I reeeeally don't give a [!@#$%^&*]!!" way.

[Sylph]

Among other things. Don't make me list all of them. Nobody wants to know. Those who've looked attentively know that I sometimes love utter trash and am unapologetic about it.

[Bright Eyes]

HEY! It was good for a few episodes ...

As much as I detest Ke$ha for her annoying lyrics, overplayed songs, and fake image, at least she's just doing her own thing instead of comparing herself to Madonna or to anyone else. Ke$ha doesn't take baths, she has chapped lips in all her videos, and she autotunes about drinking while pregnant and back alley abortions before going out to the clubs. She's not trying to pass along some social message to an audience or is even attempting to be "the voice of a generation." She's just gonna be who she is, fake image or otherwise.

Honestly, I really don't think Lady Gaga has the composure or the humility to accept commercial failure. And as I've mentioned in this thread before, part of Madonna's "success" was always her ability to lick her wounds and try again. That's what made Madonna have staying power. And this was well before the internet, TMZ, Perez, etc. where everything was shoved down your throat via all forms of media. Madonna made her way via great promotion, hard work, and coming to accept that not everything would be as successful as she or Warner wanted it to be.

[Sylph]

That is precisely why, bellcurve, I don't think such a thing as a new Madonna is possible nowadays. Everything changed. There is too much promotion, it hogs the "airwaves". Songs, artists, actors, films – you get pretty sick of it pretty quickly. Tonight you're hot, tomorrow you're a flop. And no one gives a damn. They just move onto another one, the next in line. People are also too cynical and perverted, nothing is really genuine anymore.

Lady Gaga arrives to the Grammys in a turd:

[Adam]

Its suppose to be an ovum isn't it? She hasn't been "born" yet.

[Sylph]

Right...

[bellcurve]

Well she's an "artist." It's all up for interpretation.

She says it's an egg. And I believe it's a turd. Much like the new single.

[Sylph]

And everyone is tweeting about it! Yaaay!
