Lady GaGa - Love her or loathe her?

SparkyTech

I used to like her at the beginning, some songs of hers are catchy, but of late I think shes become more about the commercial image then her ''monster fans''. The image and PR conveying she's trying to keep up of ''Fantasy Meets Reality'' with the meat outfit and the mad hat outfits has turned into an awful mismuchmash.

First concert in the O2, which I went to with friend was 40 odd quid sitting, last one it hiked to 80 odd, refused to pay such outrageous tokens of mula . And as for ''Judas'', She's trying to hard. Sure dont we all worship Satan in our own way. Recently read a quote from someone comparing her to the new Maddona the way she's reinventing her image all the time :pac:

What do you think?

Not if I had a bag of cock's.

krudler

a few catchy singles but cant stand her or her persona

Minstrel27

I couldn't care less. Talented for sure but not my cup of tea.

Tayla

She tries too hard to shock IMO and I really couldn't be bothered with her.......anyway she stole the whole image from her dead friend :eek:

Ghost Buster

As an old punk I like the shock stuff she does such as the meat dress and after seeing her on Graham Nortons show she is quite witty and a good interview but her music is fairly pedestrian 80 gay club disco bland blah!!!

galwayrush

I'm not 10 to 14, so i don't have an opinion on her.

My name is URL

Completely indifferent to her, but I hate the fact that she's so popular.. and that music is so generic these days.. and that I'm going grey

nitromaster

New album is crap.

Some of the older stuff is okay-ish as pop music.

Madonna rip off. Even her dance chereographer admitted to completely ripping madonna off in the videos.

Son Of A Vidic

I absolutely can't stand him.

Naikon

Terrible stuff.

TanG411

Couldn't care less, but fair play to her.

Dravokivich

She's hardly marmite...

admiralofthefleet

i dont know what it is but i would have to be dug out of her.

Mickeroo

I'd give her one but in fairness did anyone see that goal by David Villa just now?!?!

Kevin Duffy

Is being the new Madonna a good thing? Madge has been patchy at best since the 80's rush of great singles and has tried too hard to be an actress, which she really isn't.

GaGa, few decent singles, albums of inconsisent quality, concert prices becoming exploitative, image outstripping the music. Her success says more about the poverty of the current state of pop with X-Factor winners and runners-up soaking up the market, making it harder for decent artists to be heard.

Naikon

Mainstream music these days is a circus. The difference in quality now from say - 20 years ago is huge. I literally can't listen to the radio anymore. At least there is internet radio and underground stuff : \
It all went downhill FAST when people began to believe the Xfactor is quality stuff. Complete joke imo. I blame the average man in the street for ****ing up real musical talent over the last few years:)

bnt

Saw some of the concert video they were showing on Sky 1. She seems to spend an awful lot of time delivering these little motivational speeches. Made a point of saying she doesn't lip sync - which I can believe. because half the time the backing singers (and samplers) are singing instead.

Stephen Fry seems to think she's OK, after they had tea together. The photos are funny.

Lyra Fangs

Funny how she claims to hate money and yet charges such exuberant prices for her concerts :rolleyes:

bastados

hung like a donkey I heard.

seen her in the 80's:pac:

StereoLove

I have to say, I like her. She's got great talent and her songs are catchy.


Maybe I should admit that I bought her new album 'Born This Way' today...

1966

TBH I find the whole package hilarious - she must stay awake at night planning her next shock & awe delivery.

Daisy!

The fact that she's everywhere annoys me more than her...I'd like her to go away for a while, I'm getting sick of her. Meh she's alright and seemed like good craic on Graham Norton's show but meh.

There's a thread here which may be a thinly veiled story about hi....he....Lady Gaga. Maybe.

Tayla

What's with the pointy bones in her face? the ones that only come out when she's inspired :rolleyes: ?

Oh my god they can't be real?! Why would she do that to herself? :eek:

cml387

Lovely catchy pop songs she writes,

Two years ago I was at a Christmas party in Midleton with Gina,Dale Hayes and the Champions playing,and she did an ace version of Poker Face.

You've definitely arrived when Gina covers one of your hits.

Big Nasty

Not a fan at all but I tell ya one thing - she's no madonna

She's so freaky.....ew

nitromaster

Her producer Redone is often described as the key to her musical sound....basically most of the genius and manufacturing music for the masses which will sell is done by him.

What? :eek:

For the past 3 years I feel like she's been constantly on the radio, on the TV and touring. It gets a bit much. She should have taken a break. And her need to shock smacks of desperation. Not half as bad as Madonna. Hate that bint.

Emoi

The only way she could shock us now is if she showed up in a pair of aul jeans and a t-shirt from penneys.

Lady Gaga- GET OVER YOURSELF.

What do you think?

When Madonna learns to play a musical instrunemt, or write songs, or choreograph, or dance or even sing then they might have a point.


She mightn't be everyone's cup of tea but at least she puts the work in.

or choreograph.

but lady gaga doesn't choreograph? and her choreographer openly admitted to totally ripping madonna off basically all the time....

Gaga writes a lot of her own songs and can actually play an intrument or two don't Madonna do either of those things??

FYP

Oh btw like her very catchy tunes

DepecheHead101

I like her. She tries to be as kooky as can be but that's the act like, isin't it. I'm sure plenty of people don't even notice that they fap off to countless Rock and Hip Hop personalities who do the exact same thing but get away with it because they aren't a woman doing pop music.

She puts on a good live show and is a fresh antidote to the hoard of generic urban and Reality TV chart identikit music. The music is pop done good too. The albums aren't the best but Paparazzi and Bad Romance are absoloutely fantastic pop tunes, IMO.

Every generation has had icons kids and teens go nuts for and that's something most of us look back on with nostalgia now just like the folks who are into GaGa will do in years to come. Good on them and good on her.

flyaway.

I quite enjoy a good few of her songs. I don't really pay too much attention to her as a person, though.

Say Your Number

Don't really mind her, of all the sh1te music that gets played to death on radio, her's is the most bearable.

Dudess

I find a lot of her songs catchy - totally generic and similar stuff done by Britney, Nelly Furtado, Gwen Stefani, but I quite like a lot of that. Produced to death, but as I said, catchy. Her "outrageous" style though and the sexual content etc has been done: by Madonna, Grace Jones and Prince. And far better. She's just Britney in weird clothes.

LighterGuy

i like her.

Nice ass alright. Suddenly - she isn't so bad:p

starbelgrade

She does have a great little arse on her. Bit of a jew nose though - not the kind of face I like, but that's not to say that she is universally unnattractive.

Never really knew who the hell she was until I saw her on Graham Norton a few weeks ago. She came across quite well - good sense of humour & a bit mad. Not a bad combination.

Her songs are well written, catchy pop tunes. Again, not my cuppa, but fair play to her - she's doing well out of it & entertaining a lot of people in the process. And that's not a bad combination either.

Ra ra gaga gah
