Gaga invented green wigs and mechanical horses.
Gaga copying Kerli complaining about the copycats.
Here's Mariah's Letterman interview.
She really needs to watch her own interviews, I don't think she's even aware of how she comes off. Those odd moments where she covers her face or looks completely down at the floor while talking. You'd think she be used to these interviews decades into her career. And then her casually mentioning how her character gets raped and her father murdered to set up a joke for how important her character was behind the scenes.
Please oh please, just let the music be good.

Fucked My Way To The Top better be good.
the amount of seething that monsters do over katy is completely unprecedented...i've never seen an entire stanbase so utterly pressed and bothered by another star
i mean this popped up on my tumblr feed the other day
the level of delusions and seething fumes is worrying. i'll say a prayer for them tonight.
They just make themselves an easy target for shade and drags tbh.
To be honest It's kind of pathetic to have people who loved the Gaga novelty in 2008 and gave her the "power" rooting for her disgrace and making bets on how low she can go. I'm sure everyone went crazy with Just Dance and stuff, but then some people find so fun seeing her down, wasting her like human trash that was already used.
Even if I might not like most of her new music I will always respect her for all the things she did (You know that without Gaga today's landscape would be very, very different) and I will never revel on her disgrace. That's just cruel.

Yes her entire fanbase is delusional because of a paragraph on your tumblr.
I'd send a prayer to most of them though. lol

The best thing Gaga did was getting popstars to step their game up re: music videos. There was a marked improvement in mainstream pop videos after Paparazzi, and Bad Romance/Telephone proved that MV releases could still be events.
linking to this review again because it's basically everything i think about gaga only better than i can say it
i like the fact that she brought general theatricality back to pop, MVs being a big part of that
Yep. That and actual musical composition in her songs.

She also re-energized the other pop stars as far as being an event themselves. Red carpet fashions, taking political stands, having a big social media presence, iconography, creating cult followings, etc. Even though Gaga's name is pretty ubiquitous now and her star power has settled into itself with the other pop girls, I definitely feel like the pop landscape would be pretty different right now if she never rose to stardom. She helped bring back the "pop star as a spectacle" dynamic that started to die off halfway through the decade.
oh godHope There's Someone
don't even
hope there's someone
who'll take care of me
when i die, will i go?
hope there's someone
who'll set my heart free
nice to hold, when i'm tired
I agree with this, but I think part of the reason I'm starting to go off Gaga is that at some point she started become a real person, and I found that person quite annoying. That sounds unfair but I really enjoyed Lady Gaga the woman who wore those weird costumes and never really revealed anything about herself.
My feed is filled with Lily Allen vs. Popjustice and I agree fully with Peter because it seems so cheap that Lily basically writes a song about loads of people and pretends it means nothing because it's "pop", which undervalues the entire medium.
edit: WAIT new La Roux yaas gawd!! Her debut was so good why did they disappear for 5 years
let me bring back Bulletproof.

I can see it now
In your eyes you let it fall
Yeah she does seem a little bloated but I don't think it's a "big" issue. I bet she'll probably try to slim down a bit by next month when she should be in full swing promotion mode.
She did that track years ago with him, which doesn't make it any more right but it's not a new track. And I believe the pee man was found innocent in a trial of his peers...

I do think that most people turned on her once she no longer embraced being an enigma and was more forthcoming with herself and her personality. i.e. the Born This Way era. She did it in such a confrontational way though that there was no real transitional moment, it was like she took the mask off and there was this grungy, ugly entity inside. I mean the visual narrative speaks for itself:
From this
to this:
19 MORE DAYS!!!!!!! Hold on to your faves' wigs tighT!!!
My faves are supposed to hold their wigs because of Cher Lloyd "Sorry I'm Late"

Christ, what a miserable, ugly woman.
She released a decent album and a new single last year. IDK what she's done since then.
My flop country is not participating this year so I'm going to skip this year's show
It's out on Spotify as well. It is better than Busy Doing Nothing (which was, mildly put, sub-par), but that doesn't mean much, it's still not good enough, IMHO.
