    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?

    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:

    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!!!

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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:)

    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. :o

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

    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...

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
