Ghost of Electricity Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 She's got the world's attention and she provokes serious debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 debate about what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 for example, the rights to practice religion, the right to freedom of expression, and where to draw the line when these come into conflict. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Really...I don't think she has brought anything that new to the table. In fact she took a lot form other artists (Madonna / David Bowie MJ.....). When is "line dancing" just another line dance....this is what they all do. I think the days of "Rock Stars" having a wide cultural impact went away with the 60's. Don't get me wrong she has huge talent as a songwriter and performer but I think the youth of today knows about the religious and sexual orientation options....they don't need a rock star that charges $100+ for tickets.

IRememberDBoon Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 i actually like her more than Madonna. i always thought madonna was full of shit with her bisexual crap and we see where that got her in relationships. am i the only super liberal that doesnt believe in bi sexuality??

tinnitus photography Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 is it possible to 'believe' in a lifestyle choice? yes, i believe there are bisexuals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 yeah its just unbelievable that there are people who are attracted to people and not specific sexual organs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong she has huge talent as a songwriter and performer but I think the youth of today knows about the religious and sexual orientation options....they don't need a rock star that charges $100+ for tickets. obviously she is heavily indebted to her predecessors, but it's not the 70's or 80's, it's the 21st century, and we need a broader global village perspective. religion doesn't mean just the christian right, it can extend to mean muslims, jews, etc. : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-18073961 and i'm not even considering her as a musician or a rock star. I'm considering the media to be her medium. the 21st century media of the internet as well as the traditional mass media. she plays them all like an instrument.

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 the chorus of bad romance alone makes her superstar status worthwhile the rest of the song is pretty lame, but that chorus. man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think the "substance" of Lady Gaga is one of the most over-exaggerated takes on an artist in the pop media right now. I think Justin Bieber is just as interesting as Lady Gaga (which is to say only kinda) and someone like Justin Timberlake is much more interesting. Homogenized dance pop with weird costumes...... meh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm impressed with anyone that writes their own songs but other than that, I think she tries way too hard to be edgy and exciting and she bores me to tears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 i like that song "Born this way" having lived in dupont im the most pro gay straight man you will find on planet earth so you guys think a man can be bisexual for reals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't know a single Lady Gaga song, and my original point had nothing to do with music. Her medium is the media, both new and traditional. Whether or not she tries hard to be edgy is irrelevant. What matters is that she gets a reaction and gets people talking.

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 so you guys think a man can be bisexual for reals?absolutely. and besides that, why would it be any more or less believable for a man than a woman? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Banned Jakarta shows might happen: http://www.nme.com/news/lady-gaga/63935?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Twitter-ladygaga Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 So you guys think a man can be bisexual for reals? Yes I think it's possible for a man to enjoy fucking both men and women. Why is this so hard to believe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm feeling an Andrew Dice Clay joke coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxiebean Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Honestly, I don't see all that much about her in the media. Then again, I'm not out there looking for her - I guess I'm not reading the right newspapers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If she's the greatest artist of the 21st C (so far), I'm glad the century has barely begun. She's un-orginal in thinking she's original. Sounds like other artists, dresses like other artists, likes to try and stir up talk by being so "shocking" in antics/words, etc. She's a talented singer, musician, and entertainer but beyond that she's more hype than substance, imo. And, for the record (in case some of you are keeping a record of stuff like this), I believe in bi-sexuals like I believe in leprechauns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 so you guys think a man can be bisexual for reals? I still can't decide if this is for real or not. IRDB, do you ever read Dan Savage? His Letter of the Day on his blog yesterday was about this very thing: http://slog.thestran...thank-you-noted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
