No, it's not just that. She's the epitome of everything that's wrong with the music industry. More people talk about the stupid poo poo she's wearing or the "outrageous" thing she did last week than they do her music. I detest everything about her for it and am surprised that most people on this board don't agree. It has nothing to do with some stupid smug and pretentious opinion about pop music in general... I just loving despise this woman because of the above.

Lady GaGa has never been known for "the outrageous thing she did last week" because the only outrageous things she does is make great music and awesome costumes.

I feel like I've been hypnotized by her act. I don't listen to pop music at all, but this girl's work is phenomenal. Why is every aspect of her act so good? I have read this entire thread, listened to all her songs, seen all her videos, joined her fan site, and I still don't understand why I like it so much. Am I really that gay?

The Bad Romance video takes this all to a whole different level. I was very surprised when she went with the curly hair for that one shot. Was that the first time we've seen anything besides a braid tower or huge straight hair? I was also glad to see that she has somewhat gotten better at dancing since Paparazzi. She is getting closer to keeping up with the back-up dancers now.

This is how I started, and eventually I just gave up and decided that I must be gay to consider paying $100 for a lock of her hair

I just got the new spin, and they debunk music myths, one of which being "Lady Gaga is talentless." It's pretty much the longest blurb in the article, and phenominally written for people who don't "get it," but when I tried to explain it to my coworkers, they still thought I was weird or gay.

:sigh:

I love Lady Gaga. If she has a penis, I'll suck it. I don't care, man.

edit: here it is

quote:

MYTH No. 3: Lady Gaga Is All Style, No Substance
By Chuck Eddy on November 9, 2009 4:53 PM (41) Comments

REALITY: Lady Gaga's bizarre getups only distract from the fact that she's a brilliant songwriter.

Lady Gaga's purportedly transgressive persona -- wearing doilies over her head in lieu of pants, possibly having a secret penis -- relentlessly dares you to despise her, and it's no surprise so many have taken the bait.

The press focuses on her performance-art shtick in lieu of her songs, so even though The Fame has been one of 2009's biggest-selling albums, nobody seems to have pointed out that it's also one of the best.

Partly it's the sound -- an unabashedly bonkers, rubbery synth-loop boogie that manages to sell back 35 years of esoteric Eurotrash as something unmistakably in-your-face and American, without ever branding itself as retro. If you're tuned in to them, blatantly uncool references abound: Ace of Base's Swedish reggae, Aqua's Danish Barbie twirl, Boney M.'s Teutonic West Indies world disco; her single "Paparazzi" has the ominous minor-key fragility of '80s Italo-pop.

Gaga ropes in distorted rhythms from KMFDM sprocket-rock to Peaches electroclash. But she also croons a cascading Latin freestyle ballad called "Brown Eyes," heartfelt enough to be Lisa Lisa in 1987.

And in her flirtiest tracks, "Boys Boys Boys" and "Summerboy," she's a California girl on Echo Beach, bopping along to Blondie in her new-wave bikini.

All of which would already be wonderful if Gaga's songwriting wasn't just as inventive. But on The Fame, she leaves no doubt that word games are as much her idea of a good time as love games. "Poker Face" extends a gambling metaphor through several verses as cleverly as any country outlaw. Over the hard thump of "Just Dance," a celebratory night out implodes into fright and confusion in ways so mundane it's a shock no lyricist thought to detail them before: A boozed-up girl misplaces her keys and phone, turns her shirt inside out, forgets what club she's in and what song is playing.

Gaga's most inescapable obsession albumwide, though, is kinky sex, which she's sane enough to depict as not so much decadent as funny. And through it all, she's tossing off nonsense syllables and phrasing pirouettes and juvenile side chants and martial Marine grunts and cherry-cherry-boom-booms just to throw you off balance, preferably without losing her own footing. If you play along with her bag of tricks and disco sticks, accept her pretensions as a new twist on club music's costumed tradition, and refuse to be blindsided by her backstory, it's as delirious a dance as you've witnessed all year.

Not to derail the thread but some of those choices are absolutely dreadful, speaking as a manchild. Best couple is a big dissapointment, as well as being forced to choose between Zac Efron and the Sprouse brothers. I remember when people like Tim Allen won best actor at the KCA. What happened, man?

Also Linkin Park as best band. They haven't even put out an album since like, 2007

I almost brought Uffie up yesterday. I actually thought Kesha was Uffie the first time I heard Kesha on the radio. I had no idea there was enough room out there two of these. I guess there is a market out there for awful "rapping" about stuff teenage girls might be interested in?

Is Uffie supposed to be ironicly bad or something? I never really understood why her song was included on that Justice album.

The Virgin Mobile spot is the only placement that I feel is really out of place and blatant. All the rest are fine or integral.

Wonderbread/Miracle whip is relevant to the diner scene as a whole, I feel.

Diet coke is aesthetic,
The honey bun is name-based, since I think Little Debbie calls them Honey Buns
The polaroid is what it is

I think that's all of them? D&G doesn't really count I guess. The Virgin Mobile is jarring, though.
