Prince of Tennis posted:If you appreciate pop then that's good, but your post gave off the impression that you don't like mainstream music and thought Lady Gaga is somehow different. This is ironic because the whole point is she is pop music given the face of art to make it "OK" to like. I mentioned Warhol because she's basically putting a picture of Cambell's Soup into a museum so that it is art. If you think Gaga is separate from the "garbage mainstream music" you are one of the people being made a fool of for separating high art and low art. Okay, thanks for explaining your point. Now I see that I came off as some kind of music snob, but I gotta tell you, I'm not. I do listen to pop music, including La Roux, Yelle, Ladyhawke, Madonna, and Heloise & The Savoir Faire, but I don't like people like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Pink or Beyoncé. I don't mind their stuff, even though it's not my cup of tea; I wouldn't choose to listen to them while driving or anything, but I don't consider them a disgrace to music or the worst thing since the Holocaust. At the end of the day, I still dance to their songs if they come up at a club. What sets GaGa apart from them, I think, is how connected she seems to be with her act, and the way she integrates different elements like fashion, theatrics and the music into a full package. I like artists who are more than a simple catchy hook put together by a group of producers, and GaGa is one of those. Maybe this makes me a music snob to a certain degree, but I'm not one to piss on someone else's music taste. One of my best friends is a die-hard fan of Britney and I don't give him poo poo for it. I feel this post has been a ramble, so I'll just say that Teeth is a great album closer

That's ok you seem reasonable I was more lashing out at the general trend among music "snobs", especially on this forum, who look down on pop music or music for women. Lady Gaga has become trendy to like, but most people don't understand what makes her good or why critics like her.You're right about Gaga as a whole package, but if you actually like the music itself you should think about what separates her songs from stuff you dislike, especially when she regularly says she wrote her song in 5 minutes while hungover. Also Kanye gets a crazy amount of hate here (and everywhere), even though he is basically doing the same thing except with more musical innovation and less fashion innovation.

the first page of this thread posted:With Lady Gaga, it's not just a matter of aurally-attractive pop'n'lock back-broken beats, or lissome-kissed labial lyrics; no, as an artist who embraces the idea of the "Total Package Persona" I find it very disturbing that a more concrete mention of her radical (one might say, après-fashion) embrasure of style was left aside. quoting for context, it's not like this discussion is covering any new ground sure, she wrote the song in 5 minutes, but there's a marked difference between listening to 'Just Dance' and watching her perform it.

Part of that might be because he's such a loving douche. For most people it's kind of hard to separate the performer from the person.

What are they worried about snow for, if God is on their side to the degree that no one outside their church goes to heaven?

I liked Lady Gaga from the moment I first heard Just Dance because I'm a huge whore for pop music. But I also thought she just made a couple really nice pop songs, which I bought individually. Now after reading the thread I shelled out for the albums and I'm impressed that she actually made more than 2-3 good songs per. And almost every one has a chorus that is loving perfect. It's amazing.

I bugged out when I first heard this on the radio. So good. Then I read the comments on the A.V. Club post, I mean, I love that site but their community just rages on about pop music. They just don't know how to have fun.

I don't know if the difference in range of sizes would be there, but if you want that shirt sooner and not have to worry about shipping, I saw it last night in Hot Topic when my friend dragged me in there. They've also got a few more if you're looking for a variety of shirts to show off how big of an unapologetic fan you are. I almost considered buying it myself when I saw it.  EDIT: I can't believe I didn't notice this earlier, but because of the way my music library is set up on Winamp, the end of The Fame Monster goes straight into my Led Zeppelin music, which starts with Hey Hey What Can I Do. Oddly appropriate considering the lyrics of the Zep song and Gaga's music overall. EDIT2: Studying chemistry to Gaga is pretty awesome.
