The music business needs people like her.
I know some will not agree.
Just my point of view.

I like her. I'm just bored that there aren't enough people to like mainstream other than her, and that there are so few new faces in music since 2000. That's the sad part. Think about it. Every award show, it's been the same folks for like 10 years.

Maybe because award shows are bought and paid for insider circle jerks ?

No more real than "reality shows" are.

It would be like me and the boyz spending a million dollars to call ourselves the winner of this years prestigious red carpet burn awards.

Meaningless.

Yeah but award shows used to be fun to watch because you had all the different genres. Now they flip through classical, jazz, rock, country just so everyone can watch Beyonce and Jay Z can do their overly produced, garish productions.

(Yawn)

There was a time way back when
up and beyond this kitschy din
Artists displayed what was in their heart
now it's all gone, it's been torn apart

Replaced by a plastic so hard and so course
a music so weak it has no inherent force
Eyes once bright have since grown dim
becoming accustomed to these computerized Sim

Cities, once risen and now they fall
the breath leaving, exhaling a mourn-filled call
The pulse has flatlined, but we shant fear
a new time, a new movement we can again hold dear

When? I don't know, but I hope it's in my lifetime

The music business needs musicians too.

Why don't you dress up something like a male version of Lady GaGa and call yourself Lord GaGa?

Actually Lady Gaga IS a male version of Lady GaGa (sorry for the confusion...)

Bannnnngk! Sorry Bob, and thank you for playing. Actually, we have the male version of Lady Gaga.

It's Prince Poppycock!

Is Prince Poppycock a singer also? After seeing all this baffling B.S. I often wonder what I would have to do get more attention. What other gimmicks are left that would get enough PR to make it in the world of music today? Amazing that anybody would pay money to see or listen to any of these musically unredeeming "artists."

Uh, just for the record, I unfortunately DO know who Lady Gaga is...my response was just a shot at humor (Bob had responded in the same way to quite a few Gaga-oriented posts, and I couldn't pass up the opening). As far as quitting the music business (if I hadn't known who she was), I can ensure the fact that I will still be writing and playing music long after her/his 15 minutes are up-and Lady Gaga will be reduced to making douche commercials. :lol:

The same kind of things were said when Madonna came out.

@ Bob. Again, and not for the first time, I say that I am NO musician. So I guess my point will be lost in all of this.

=======

She is needed, and I admire her tenacious, never give up attitude. She's always in touch with her fanbase. Last year she was tipped for so many things and failed, This year she got exactly what she deserves.
I thought people admired hard work, that gets results? I believe she's largely done this on her own at the start. Something people go on about, i.e. manufactured bands, for staple audiences.

I agree with Cheeya about the same old faces, but hasn't it always been that way? In any case Gaga is new, she's hovered the fringes for a long time.
She deserves it, she's different. I like different :D
