Lady Gaga sweeps up at VMAs

2010-09-13 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 51 Comments
Lady Gaga took home eight prizes from the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles last night, including the coveted Video of the Year.

Gaga won fully half of the 16 prizes on offer - though she was nominated for 13 - and is now tied for the second-most honoured artist in VMA history alongside Norwegian pop group A-ha. Peter Gabriel set the record in 1987 with nine awards for the groundbreaking 'Sledgehammer' video.

Detroit rapper Eminem was the only other multiple winner, taking a pair of awards for his 'Not Afraid' video, while Justin Bieber took the Best Newcomer gong. 30 Seconds to Mars, Muse, Florence + the Machine, the Black Keys and Jay-Z & Alicia Keys won in the technical categories.

Gaga took the stage three times in all, wearing a different outfit each time, including what appeared to be a large black bin liner.

She also took the opportunity to announce the title of her next album, Born This Way, and sung a few bars from the chorus of the title track.

She never disappoints her little monsters.
She truly is an amazing artist and seems to be the bell of the ball when it comes to outfits and speeches.

The cracked article is (almost) completely right. Lady Gaga has some good some, plenty of horrible songs, and a few great songs. Bad Romance trampled its competition at the awards musically. However, ultimately she is just a cross bred Manson-Madonna attention magnet. She's famous because of her image and the retarded clothes she wears, not her music, and that is what will keep me from ever respecting her.

"She's not an artist. She's a product".

I don't like Gaga that much. But I respect that fact that she is somewhat of a fresh specimen in an otherwise over saturated market of whorish, whiny and terrible singers and songwriters... Or singers who throw away their ideals to create generic summer hit pop albums.

Did anyone notice Lady Gaga accompanied by the gay service members before the show? I knew one of them from my company. Puts me two degrees of separation from Lady Gaga I suppose... whoohoo.

I'd like to know which he disposable pop singers he does credit with "observable" talent.

Actually I'm lying.


It should read:
It's just disposable pop with no observable talent, like most disposable pop.


Case in point; Gaga sucks.

i think the general consensus is that her music ranges from awesome pop to generic pop. it's her marketing team that's so fucking irritating.

britney spears definitely doesn't need a comback. seriously, she doesn't have the voice of christina aguilera, the song writing skills of lady gaga or the just raw appeal of beyonce.

she pretty much sucks

The article Emim posted has a lot of truth, few know that she has a creative team of people who help her with the outfits, music, stage design, etc. There's a small window of originality like maybe 0.1.%, it's all about interpretation because what most artist are doing today can be traced back to the original source.

Nope, all of you are wrong. Lady GaGa is the shit, and I love her music, even though I despise most other pop.

I'm happy for her.

christina aguilera is the only pop artist with real Talent if you ask me, GaGa sucks, not that great of a singer and all shock value. Nothing special at all.
