summerboy's the perfect car song, such good shit. if i'd known about fame monster too before i made my 09 list it'd show up on there for sure

idk guys maybe if she makes a 'toxic'

You seem to be implying that she's an artist, when in reality she is a woman who sings extremely catchy pop songs. I wasn't trying to say that her idols were any more relevant in the artistic realm, because they aren't, and that's what makes her so laughable as well.

google "what kind of shit has lady gaga pulled lately"

Even if her stage performances had any thematic relevance to her music (which barely scratches the surface of the human mind), I would hesitate in calling her an artist of any kind simply for wearing abnormal costumes (some of which are works of art but they were certainly not designed or manufactured by Lady GaGa) and dancing around lavish decorations.

i think what we have here is a basic misunderstanding that pop is music when it is clearly not and no practitioner of pop is a musician

She is mainstream convention, which is controversy just offensive enough to warrant a double-take and just safe enough that my little sister can freely talk about her with my mom. Miss GaGa was far more of an artist before she became GaGa and was writing simple piano ballads which challenged absolutely nothing but the people they were about.

dude how do you get this pretentious

i bet you shit your pants over andy warhol but this shit is just too poppy

What exactly about her is unacceptable or would be unacceptable in any situation besides being broadcast to an Amish village?

imagine if wayne coyne and lady gaga fucked

So I heard that the Westboro Baptist Church wasn't a big fan of her... As Jesse Lacey would say, "c-c-c-c-c-c- controversial".

john you are so fucking drunk right now

i wanna cross swords with the lady

I am not, you don't need to be Beethoven to be an artist, but you can't be so crass and unoriginal and still keep the title. What she happens to be wearing, however many "conventions" it may have challenged, does not qualify her as anything but a model, and if you consider models to also be artists, I disagree with you enough to give you a good ole' fashioned British drive-by.

i thought lady gaga was a stripper

i think of lady gaga like kurt cobain, cause he's like oh dont listen to us listen to these guys and then exposing people to pixies and sonic youth and such, lady gaga is really just referring people to this other counter-cultural world and that is why i respect her because she is able to open people up to this odd place even if she doesn't inhabit it herself.

I would accept her as anything so long as there is proof. But I will give you the gratification of calling her an artist: she is a bad artist.

i bet erasedcitizen farts on his pancakes and calls it art

There is no proof that she is an artist, there is only proof that she is an eccentric singer. Even what you say proves that. Remember, you're the one who called her a performance artist, so consider the likes of the people you rank her with. That comparison is a slaughter.

I don't like Poker Face or Love Game, but I quite like Paparazzi. I'll give this a listen sometime
