While I only think her songs are okay-ish and I'm not rushing out to buy her album or see her in concert, I like her a lot for another reason:

In a period of time where bisexuality or lesbianism in pop music is portrayed as some kind of gimmick novelty or a weekend lesbian fling (looking at you, Katy Perry), Lady Gaga at least seems like she's doing what she can to support and speak out for gay or bisexual people without hiding behind some kind of "I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT, I HOPE MY BOYFRIEND DON'T MIND IT" irony curtain.

If you think that there isn't a little more under the surface to Lady Gaga than to something like the Black Eyed Peas, I really don't know what to tell you. You at least have to admit that she's a little more interesting/thoughtful than most top 40 acts, even if you don't like her music

I'm really loving reading through the 1-star reviews of the Christmas Tree song on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Tre...nDateDescending

"How could you take such a great idea ("a new free Holiday song every day until Christmas") and then totally ruin it with explicit lyrics and explicit references to sex? So far, 2 out of the 6 offerings are too disgusting to download. This song does not meet my definition of the Holiday Spirit by any stretch of the imagination. I'm sorry that I even clicked on the preview button. I'm very disappointed in you, Amazon, and I know you can do better than this."

"Yet another awful song on the 25 days of free Christmas Songs. Why does Amazon insist on including songs like this one? It's not a Christmas song - it's a song about sex. Another disappointment."

"I find this song offensive, with all it's sexual content being forced upon Christmas. I wish that Amazon would have chosen a different song for the free download."

"This song has no place listed on any Christmas play list. I am glad that is was the first person to listen to this song and decide whether or not to add it to our music library. Shouldn't it be safe to let their kids listen to songs on a Christmas list and not worry about if the song is sexually explicit? Sad, now we have to worry about Christmas songs being inappropriate!"

"Amazon should know better than to insult and offend people by placing this type of music on any "Christmas" list!"

"OK, when I listen to Christmas music, I expect to hear about Christmas, not about promiscuous behavior taking place under the Christmas tree. Not only was this not a very good song, from a compositional perspective, it was terrible subject matter as well. I was appalled."

"raunchy sex song not appropriate for 25 days of Christmas! Amazon: shame, shame on you. did you even listen to this song? Good grief."

"Another example of the liberal media and the artists they try to promote degrading Christians and their beliefs. I feel like I'm living in a cesspool! I can't even download a Christmas song with out being fed their degenerate garbage. The moral decay of the late great USA is getting out of control. Wake up Sheeple before it's too late." <--- this one is probably satire, but you never know.

"The meaning of Christmas doesn't even enter into this smut song. In fact, it has no place being considered a Christmas song the holiest historical event of all time. Shame on you GaGa."

"This song is terrible. It's totally inappropriate and disgusting and the worst thing it doesn't even have a good beat. What a waste. Glad I got the download for free."

Though the vocal melodies aren't bad when not copped (not that I dislike the reappropriation), the vocal cadence is stilted and undesirably robotic, the beat silly. It's possible to think the song bad without having to get up in arms over the lyrics. :colbert:

Oh I'm aware of that, don't worry. I'm definitely cool with someone not liking the song but I just find the people that hate it because it 'desecrates Christmas' hilarious

But for real why do you care if she produces and masters the music? Yes she writes her own music but why does she have to produce and master it too :confused:

My first album that I remember loving was TLC's "CrazySexyCool" when I was like 7-8 years old; I didn't lend any special meaning to the lyrics about sex or whatever probably because I just thought it was a Gross And Boring Thing Adults Did (like eating non-sugary cereal), and it did nothing to screw me up mentally I promise.

Eh the Bad Romance video was much better. The Telephone video had less to do with the actual song and was more of an excuse for her to make a mini-Tarintino film. Which is fine I guess, but Bad Romance had more symbolism

Haha calling Lady Gaga the "shittest music" that you've "ever heard" is a dead giveaway to me that you've heard of like 20 artists or bands in your entire lifetime. Not to sound Helldumpy but you also have posts in a drat Muse thread; are Muse's overwrought bullshit lyrics really better? Strip away my semi-confrontational tone and I'm asking an honest question here

Crows Turn Off posted:

Yes? And nothing she said is really anti-gay, just really, really dumb. She very clearly doesn't hate gay people.

She has not literally said "kill gay people" or "I hate gay people" no but the point of this discussion is that she perpetuates negative stereotypes about gay people and shows no nuance, understanding of, or senstivity towards sexuality in general. Her music, that underneath the surface level reinforces the idea that being heterosexual is more normal, is a detriment to the gay community, particularly 'Ur So Gay'.

I don't like this album overall, but n-thing that Scheiίe rules and is almost definitely her best song to date. It's extremely catchy and bombastic, with a good message. Probably one of her most obviously 'Lady Gaga' songs, in juxtaposition to most of this album where I'm sitting there thinking "anybody could have carried this song". I wouldn't mind if it were a huge single that I hear everywhere but I can see too many people struggling with how to pronounce it; and hey, if it's not a big single I might not get as tired of it as fast.
