    I can't stand her music or whatever but she is raking in a **** load of money and is a good entertainer. No matter how much whining people do it isn't going to stop her and should just let whoever enjoys it enjoy it. I'm sure we were all into some ****e when we were younger at some stage.

    I'd poke her face.

    Her last music video was just.........................confusing, I mean more confusing than normal............ it's more like a film than a music video :p

    I don't understand why she put the tape over her nipples ? I mean why go topless and not show nipples ?

    Anyway. At least she put paid to the rumours that she had a cock.

    i dont wish to know who she is.

    Lady Gaga is a marketers wet dream and completely over the top. She is Marilyn Manson for this decade.

    You could say that at least she can write and play music. A lot of people in the music business these days that cannot do either of them.

    You one the other hand, are an internet poster.. Your opinion on the thing matters not at all.


    But thanks for sharing.

    Funnily enough your opinion means **** all to me. I wont thank you for sharing though.

    I'm a big fan of Lady Gaga but I just can't see her lasting very long purely for the reason that she makes no money so she can't sustain herself.

    The Telephone video cost $1m to make apparantly and concerts are the one area where artists make their money - Gaga's concerts cost more to put on that ticket sales she gets back so she's in the negative every time she does a show. All the money is spent on Haus of Gaga for the wild clothes, etc. She'd wanna get somebody to start teaching her about money or something.

    She is probably loaded from her song writing. I hear she has written lots of songs for otherse.

    I'd say she got a **** load more than $1M in sponsorship from the amount of product placement...

    Yeah, but I shared a link to about 100 awards from people who are paid to know their stuff. As opposed to you. Internet angry guy.

    But, let me explain. I have a classical music eduaction, as does gaga. I am more than a decade older than her. I am not the constituency who tend to follow pop. I dont listen to radio, and I listen to jazz, but classical mostly.

    Occasionally a pop song stands out above the rest, and I say that as someone - like the 100 educated people and critics who gave Gaga (unknown last year) an award - who knows what I am talking about. Unlike internet angry guy,

    Now people can become famous for any reason. They could be cute. The general concensus is tha Gaga isn't. They could be a 20 year old andorognous male. opinion is divied on that as regard Gaga. But I digress....

    It is possible to come from nowhere and get to the top becuase of talent. Unlikely but possible....

    When that happens the medocrities of the world get annoyed, and get even more annoyed by real talent. Look they say, she is popular and therefore must be cr*ap.

    Get over it. She is good. I say that not because I am into pop, populatiry, or her ( I dont buy pop music) but because I know she is good. And I normaly buy classical. I know this because I have the training to know.

    Hating someone who is popular, precisely because she is popular is so utterly dull a belief system it is almost not worth arguing against.

    But you need to be learned.

    Very talented girl. Like her music now, really didn't at first. Unsure how people can say she is not talented, even if they do not like her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,616 ✭✭✭8k2q1gfcz9s5d4


    She is? That's great!

    Would you be aware of any plans of hers to release said "good pop"?

    well she is one of the biggest pop artists in the world, you dont get that popular releasing sh1t music and being crap live.

    as for "good pop", its impossible for anyone to say what music is good and what is bad. I love some bands, i cant stand other bands, however the bands i hate are loved by other people, and more people havnt even herd of them! isnt that what makes music so interesting and individual? What you say is good pop, might be crap to the next person, and vice versa

    and in lady gaga's stuff, her songs are really not that complicated.

    her songs are actually absolute genius


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    im middle of the road with her kinda. i like some of her songs (poker face and bad romance) and find most of her songs pretty good. shes differenet in terms of what other artists are around these days.

    on the other hand sometimes i think shes just being weird and different for the sake of it and goes way over the top.

    the telephone video is meant to be a continuation of the paparazzi video where she kills her boyfriend. thats why shes in prison and beyonce bails her out. makes no sense to the lyrics though which are utterly ****e. shes in a club and doesnt want to answer her phone????really write a song about that? the only line missing is ''im in the jacks pukin, ill call ya back!''


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    i think she is the best thing to happen to commercial mainstream music in a long time. timbaland & the black eyed peas? boring. will.i.am may be a decent producer, but he does the same tricks every time.

    bad romance is a fantastic song. its also the slowest peaktime song i play that fills a dancefloor (im a commercial club & pub dj) @ 119bpm, and i havent got sick of it yet. definitely one of the only songs that id play at a gig and also play in my car (and sing along to!).

    im very much a fan. i didn't like just dance though. thought that was ****e. everything else she's released ive liked. telephone is her weakest in a while, and its still good!

    Ah now, I think if you have a quick scan of the charts you'll see that you really do... Unfortunately.
    Lady Gaga is far from the worst tho, at least she's different and quite easy on the eyes too! ;)

    'that popular'

    First person to ever have a billion views on youtube and I never really even heard of her until recently enough in the scheme of things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭OxfordComma


    I despise mainstream pop music as a general rule, but I actually think Lady Gaga's quite talented. I think she's managed to make pop into a legitimate art form, considering the amount of horrendous commercialised rubbish being released by the likes of Black Eyed Peas et al.

    I genuinely think some of her songs are quite good - Bad Romance and Just Dance are great, in my opinion (and I only listen to rock/indie/folk music normally). Love her or hate her, you have to admit that she's good at what she does. She's not exactly a musical genius, but she's the best standard pop artist around at the moment, in my opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I just watched that Telephone video for the first time. The song's okay. :o But I noticed some subtle references to Michael Jackson's videos in there (specifically Thriller, maybe even Bad) and some other, not-so-subtle references to Quentin Taratino's films. Are we so devoid of creativity nowadays that when people are pastiching pastiches or homaging homages it's considered good enough to get, what, 40 million views on Youtube? Holy ****. So much for "art."

    Execs :So, Gaga, I had to call you in as the company thinks your latest song is, well, a bit ****e.

    gaga : oh.

    Execs : Can you can it & do another better song please?

    gaga : No, I'm a lazy slag.

    Execs : Hmm, how about when you do the video add some lesbianism, that always sells music.

    gaga : Cool, what else

    Execs : Well, we can get another massive name to add to the song, she wont be heard singing anything but it will seem as if she is on the video.

    gaga : Cool.

    Execs : And swear a lot, kids love it when you swear.

    gaga : consider it done. How about if we sell advertising space on the video? That should get some cash?

    Execs : Naa, we've already spoken to the big advertisers, they think your song is ****e too. The only one interested is Virgin, slightly ironic I know.

    gaga : Thats fine, I'll give them at least 30 secs with the phone in view.

    Execs : Cool, what we heard was that if you show your muff, we can sell diet coke space in the video. People link coke with what comes out of your muff you see.

    gaga : Cool, I'll get myself tatoo'd with the diet coke symbol. Since I'm getting my muff out should I nail myself with a can?

    execs : There are limits gaga, ffs! All we need is for you to show your guff at the start of the video, whatever you feel comfortable with.

    gaga : I'm a slapper, so I'm comfortable jumping in front of the camera stark bollock naked.

    execs : So its done then, you can make some money off your ****e song by having a more creditable name on the song with you, doing some naked jumping stars, some lezzer action and stapling products to you.

    gaga : consider it done.

    execs : don't you feel you are whoring your 'artistic talent' in doing this?

    gaga : not at all. Money talks. You can zip up now, I'm done.
