I would very much enjoy Gaga-ing you with your own dino-ripped out placenta. You are a talentless batshit.

now that’s a statement I can really get behind!
pop music is just glamorized karaoke.
i <3 dino
Today’s commercial music scene is total shit. We need another musical revolution like the early 90’s to turn it around. Unfortunately, in a society that watches crap like American Idol, I’m not sure if good music will ever be popular again.
zZz, no you’re wrong. There are actually some very talented karaoke singers out there. The problem is they don’t look like models.
Not how I would have put it but I probably couldnt have put it better. What ever happened to music?
She’s not so much a musician as she is a “visual artist”. Case in point, her video for ‘Paparazzi’ was one of the best of the year, despite the song being average/mediocre at best.
P.S. There are millions of people buying songs and albums that would disagree that the current state of pop music is “shit”.
Quantity doesn’t mean quality, hellakitty.
Didn’t she go to Juliard?
P.S. The mass amount of people have no musical taste. They buy and download music for fodder not to appreciate it as art. There is a difference, and as the saying goes the cream rises to the top.
I’m not a fan of current pop music either. But I don’t automatically assume that people who like it have no musical taste, they just don’t have MY musical taste.
You know what else I hate? Snobs.
I like that BRoc, ‘cream rises to the top’.
…But quantity represents popularity, which usually means people LIKE something. Newsflash, things don’t suck just because you don’t like them!
White rises to the top of the Halifax Harbor?
What, rather.
Newsflash, hellakitty. Just because you have 500 people like something (compared to 5 or 50 who don’t) doesn’t mean its necessarily “good” or “quality”.
Popularity is a mere cycle (and a very short one); quality is forever. It doesn’t mean a thing.
Very true NGF, another great saying is “shit floats”, but as we all know eventually sinks to the bottom. Same applies to crap music that’s the flavor of the day. None of that “music” will be remembered in 10 years time. On the topic of great music, you guys should check out the new Ben Harper band (Ben Harper and the Relentless 7). I have no idea why an artist of that caliber can’t get airtime.
Ben Harper needs to make a music video of he, his band and hoes shakin’ dey asses.
And do a collab album with Timbaland, GaGa, Tiesto, Kanye and Marvin Gaye (I’m sure there are studio sessions that could be bought).
A wannabee attention-seeking Millineum Madonna – same schtick – el boring to the max.
I’ve heard lady gaga live and she actually has an amazing voice… She could be doing so much more with her voice then pop music. She gets a lot of attention because she’s excentric. People want to know about the weird.
I had only heard of Lady Gaga, but since I don’t have cable, and don’t listen to the radio, I didn’t know anything more than her name. Then I was at a friends place and managed to see like 3 of her videos in under an hour. I wasn’t surprised by her music, pretty much what I expected, but I have to say from an artistic/production design stand point, her videos were pretty impressive.
She’s not eccentric and her lyrics make no sense.
She’s eccentric – she wears no pants, FFS. I’ll get shit for this, but I like her. Her music is fun to drink to, it’s fun to dance to, and it’s great to run with.
*Ducks*
Wow, wearing no pants. She’s as eccentric as Groundskeeper Willy on The Simpson’s and Orko from He-Man.
Lol NGF!
Aahh, but does she go commando like Britney?
I love all kinds of music including Lady Gaga! Poker Face always comes on when I have dance party’s in my living room.
Well, the next time I have a dance party in my living room, I’ll make sure to throw on some Lady Googoo.
Ben Harper and the Relentless 7 are incredible! Ben Harper has a video for Steal My Kisses. It’s actually rather funny 😛
