Lady Gaga wouldn’t know art if it smacked her in the face (but I’d be happy to instead)

Hi, I’m Meathead. I’m sorry to bother you, I know you’re busy, but there’s a question that’s been nagging at me lately. What function does Lady Gaga serve? Seriously, I don’t get it. Why does she exist? I feel like I’m missing something here. Am I just out of the loop or what?
I guess I’m a little late on the game here. While I’ve been dimly aware of her existence for a while now, it was only recently that I was forcefully exposed to what she passes off as music. My hopes and dreams of never having to listen to a Lady Gaga song were tragically dashed against the rocks of “Poker Face,” and I am now a victim of ear rape.

So why is she famous? Simple. Because some idiot at Interscope says she is. And because her album is called The Fame. And because she’s just a dumbed-down, over-produced, mass-marketed, bottle blonde version of what Peaches has been doing, much better, for years. Oh, was I not supposed to say that?

Yes, I’m aware that’s not the official video, since, well, there’s no official video, but it was the next best thing I could find on YouTube. Come on, it’s got fuckin’ Don Knotts in it.
There’s nothing original about Lady Gaga. Nothing. Her music is boring, and she knows it, so she overcompensates by pulling this “controversial artist” shit. Sound like anyone else we know who’s been threatening to murder us?
Hate to break it to you, Stefani, but dressing up in wacky costumes does not equal creativity. Wearing a fucking costume made out of Kermit the Frogs does not make you an artist. Granted, there are a lot of easily impressionable kids out there who disagree, which is why idiots like you continue to pass off this act and sell albums. Then again, Titanic remains the highest grossing film of all time, so you can hardly say that popularity is an indicator of quality.

gaga-hairHi, I’m Meathead. I’m sorry to bother you, I know you’re busy, but there’s a question that’s been nagging at me lately. What function does Lady Gaga serve, other than to get on my nerves? Seriously, I don’t get it. Why does she exist? I feel like I’m missing something here. Am I just out of the loop or what?

I guess I’m a little late on the game here. While I’ve been dimly aware of her existence for a while now, thanks to the endless photos of her and her stupid sunglasses helpfully plastered all over every single square inch of the greater Los Angeles area, it was only recently that I was forcefully exposed to what she passes off as music. Tragically, my hopes and dreams of never having to listen to a Lady Gaga song were dashed against the rocks of “Poker Face,” and I am now a victim of ear rape. But that’s okay, I guess my ears were kind of asking for it anyway, what with them being dressed all sexy and everything.

So why is this vapid bitch famous? Simple. Because some overpaid cocksucker in a suit at Interscope says she is. And because her album is called The Fame! And because she’s just a dumbed-down, over-produced, mass-marketed, bottle blonde version of what Peaches has been doing (much better, I might add) for years. Oh, was I not supposed to say that?

There’s nothing original about Lady Gaga, at least not to anyone who rode the long bus to school. Her music is boring, and she knows it, so she overcompensates by pulling this “controversial, misunderstood artist” shit. Sound like anyone else we know who’s been threatening to murder us? OH, WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW, LOOK WHAT I FOUND:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWhmPmjozEo]

Gee, what a shocker! One self-important attention whore who thinks she’s courting controversy by dressing up and acting like an jackass is collaborating with someone else on her wavelength. And the result is a nauseating pile of noise so insultingly horrible that calling it “music” would be like calling the McRib “food.”

gaga-kermitHate to break it to you, Stefani, but dressing up in wacky costumes does not equal creativity. (Hmm… didn’t I say the same thing about Kanye West not too long ago? Coincidentally, Lady Gaga will be touring with Kanye West soon.) Wearing a dumbass costume made out of Kermit the Frogs does not make you an artist. Granted, there are a lot of easily impressionable kids out there, with their brains stuck in neutral, who would vehemently disagree with this sentiment, and would argue that pointlessly covering yourself in muppets somehow does mean you’re relevant. And that’s why idiots like you continue to successfully pass off this act and sell albums. Sure, Michael Jackson wore some wacky clothes back in the day, but then again he also made Thriller, the best-selling album of all time, so I think that kind of excuses him. You, on the other hand, don’t get the same pass, because your music fucking sucks. You know goddamned well you’re full of shit and have nothing substantial to contribute to society, but as long as you keep up this retarded façade (and the Kermit suit), the depressingly huge percentage of consumers who are conveniently unexposed to real artists with real talent will continue to gaze upon you (and your fucking Kermit suit) with awe, because you’re just so original and — dare I say it — edgy! As much as you’d love to be early-’90s Madonna, back when she was still pissing off Catholics and didn’t have arms that looked like they’re made of pretzel dough, you’re not even close. You make empty, meaningless dance music, and you wear fruity costumes, and that’s it. And some coked-out record exec with his finger right on the pulse of today’s youth figured that’s enough to move units. While you’re unfortunately riding a wave of popularity right now, you’ll be lucky if you end up as more than an asterisk ten years from now. But I’m sure it’ll be a really shocking asterisk.

From Lady Gaga’s Wikipedia page:

When I’m writing music, I’m thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage. It’s all about everything altogether—performance art, pop performance art, fashion. For me, it’s everything coming together and being a real story that will bring back the super-fan. I want to bring that back. I want the imagery to be so strong that fans will want to eat and taste and lick every part of us.

gaga-maskLady, the only thing your “performance art” is bringing back is the taste of that pizza I had for dinner last night. At least you come out and admit it’s all about appearance, as if it weren’t already obvious. Congratulations, you’re just like every other worthless wannabe that’s polluting the airwaves with inconsequential garbage that prioritizes style over substance. And it’s not even good style, for fuck’s sake! I mean, what is that crap you’re wearing there in the picture on the right? Did you just now discover the Nine Inch Nails “Closer” video? Then again, you did get to hang out with (and probably get VD from) Shock Rocker™ Jon Lovitz Marilyn Manson and his omnipresent hoodie. That might also have been provocative fifteen years ago.

On the off chance anyone else reading this has miraculously made it this far without a crystal clear understanding of just how hopelessly dumb this girl is, allow me to provide one more damning piece of evidence for you. One universal thing that seems to unite all these vain, self-absorbed brain donors who think they’re stars is the video blog, or “vlog,” which I refuse to say out loud. They all have one, and they all think they have something to say as opposed to just wasting bandwidth. Naturally, Lady Gaga is no exception. Her video blog, cleverly titled “Transmission Gaga-vision,” shows her just “chillin’” and “bein’ like totally real,” so you can experience the thrill of hanging out with her backstage with the added luxury of being able to shut her the hell up with the simple click of a mouse.

While watching the following episode of “Gaga-vision,” don’t forget to play the official Lady Gaga drinking game that goes along with it. All you have to do is take a drink every time she says something that doesn’t make you want to shove her in front of a speeding train. Trust me, you’ll be good to drive afterwards.

  • you are my hero!

  • lady gaga has been sent to earth to shit the bed.

  • i guess she also went to the same high school as paris hilton. i always wonder what family reunions are like for these pop “stars” that come from unbelievably rich families (like the strokes and grizzly bear and fucking everyone else). do their families taunt them for being “artists?” or is it like that scene in american psycho where the “hip” kids are eating dinner with patrick bateman? do these people become “famous” because they beg daddy? this whole thing just blows my fucking mind to think about.

  • meathead, please, marry me!

  • I can’t wait to read about you dead=meathead

  • ha ha ha, well said!!!
    the word “gag” appearing in her name was no accident ..she reminds me of the “cool girls” in my school who thought they were soooo cool with their shitty hair & shitty clothes ..i made fun of them. they made fun of eachother. ah, memories.
    more sickening than some fat-rat thinking this was viable art is the people who “love” her. bring back the super-fan. i dare you. oh wait, the superfan is a dork with nothing to ill their time ..& theyre probably obsessed with someone far cooler!

  • I heard that she said in an interview that she would die for the cause of good music. So why are we still waiting???

  • Why can’t this shitty world be filled with COOL people like us? You’re the shit, dude!

  • Gaga in Greek means stupid, silly.
    E.g.: “You’re completely gaga!” (you’re completely stupid!)

    This ain’t no coincidence, I tell you.

  • I like poker face. It’s not art or anything but it’s as good as super mainstream pop gets.

  • it’s as good as super mainstream pop gets? which means terribly shitty and NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! you should think before you post something like this.

  • I’d like to, once again, congratulate Meathead for preaching the the truth and nothing but the truth about all of these self-proclaimed “artists” that plague tvs, magazines, websites, music stores and stupidly gigantic bilboards and publicity screens around the world.

    It seems that nowadays mainstream media has brainwashed a big piece of the worlds population into thinking that the word “celebrity” means the same thing as the word “arist” therefore making them consider “media personalities” (are they even personalities? You do need to actually have personal identity to be a personality right? Weird stuff) artists. Hear us out anyone who’s reading this blog and thinks we’re all dead wrong about this and that celebrities like Lady Gaga really are artists: Some actual artists might be considered celebrities but a pure celebrity will never be an artists. Art comes first, fame should be dead fucking last.

    Good old Lester Bangs once said:

    “The first mistake of art is to assume that it’s serious.”

    Celebrity Twitters, Celebrity Blogs, Celebrity “Vlogs” are self important trash, and just goes out to prove how “serious” these mooks are about their “art.”

    There’s a girl in my photography class that’s a fan of Lady Gaga (she emulated that white hair thing) and I can see all these vain and vacuum influence bleed into her photographs that offer nothing but aesthetic and stylic value to the viewer, and it makes me sad.

  • Something tells me Stefania Gabriella Germanotta’s father probably put money upfront to get her famous. I don’t know that is just a wild guess. Don’t quote me on that.

    I can almost swear she says in the lyrics:
    pa pa pa poker face
    fa fa fa fuckerface

    Dressing like jackassery doesn’t give you the right to call yourself an artist.

    Hey whatever happened to that Debbie Gibson?

  • Hi! Lady Gaga is crazy! I’ve just made a mix of her “Love Game” with dialog from The Mighty Boosh, one of my favorite series ever. Check it out on my official site!: DJ Bread n Butter

  • and here I was feeling like a gaga-outcast… what the fuck… I couldn’t get past the intro to that glob-of-shit she calls “gaga-vision” (I was afraid to watch the other videos). MEATHEAD, thank you for preaching the good word!

  • Bitch better recognize if she wants to stay on the air. I’d rather listen to Christina at this rate.

  • its’s bad enough that she is projecting pure stupidity in its finest form all over the globe, but what bothers me is that some of the dumb ass people willing to pay for it could possibly be making critical descisions that effect all of us later in life… and that terrifies me.

  • Yup. Her music is atrocious. I read in a Maxim interview( don’t judge me) she admits that she makes soulless pop music. But her defense was, that if you’re on ecstasy, and dancing at a club, that’s when you’ll truly appreciate “her” music. You know what? If I was on ecstacy, I wouldn’t want to listen to that shit. I’d rather listen to Portishead. Ya know, GOOD ARTISTS.

  • I like to change the hook in “Poker Face” to coke whore face.

  • I liked what she said about wanting to have a four way with the Jonas Brothers. That was funny. Her music is pop pap. She gives good quotes in interviews, but that’s where her appeal begins and ends.

    Madonna was/is pretty much the same attention seeking cunt hive who hung around the cool kids in New York and ripping off ideas from the real artists peforming in the club scenes.

    There’s a Guardian feature where Frau Gaga says that she wants to be the ‘new Andy Warhol’ or some shit. Except that Andy Warhol helped bring the Velvet Underground into the mainstream – until Lady Gaga makes a similar contribution by bringing bringing a great hitherto unheard of musical act into the mainstream she can shit off.

  • ‘bringing bringing’? Copy & Paste fail.

  • The world needs more Meathead.

  • Wow, Meathead, you made me happy again!

    Lately everyone attacks me with videos of this talentless cunt, saying, “she can play her own songs with a piano, and its all cool and, she sings for real, how cool is that?”

    Well, fuck you, everyone.
    Once again I have to hear a fucking beat of these tasteless gobshite “tracks”, i’m going to grab Marilyn Manson’s hand, and together we attack her at night with chainsaws and shit.
    And thats gonna be real crabcore for cokeheads

  • She’s trying so hard to pass as a “true” artist, it’s almost funny…

  • When I hear Pokerface… I can’t NOT hear that dude’s voice from “Come On Barbie Lets Go Party”.

    Lady Gaga makes me feel like my dad must’ve felt when I used to crank License to Ill in my bedroom in 5th grade. He hated that shit.

    Gaga chokes.

  • Poker Facehole!

  • Thank you Meathead for bringing Gaga down and for showing us the Jon Lovitz remix of Love Game! It’ll be a hit at all the Frat parties in the US and will cause me to forcibly remove my eardrums from my head.

  • the chick just exudes suburban teenage doucher who goes to raves on ecstacy, dosed by god to die a quicker more humiliating death, while dressed like a slutty baby referring to herself as “gaga”

    <3

  • Not forgetting she’s ugly. Clearly the one in high school that was the practice girl. But yeah, I blame the govrnmentz.

  • i agree that she is a huge attention addict, but i actually find some of her music good to listen too. really, its a matter of opinion, but I DO like some of it. granted, only a small fraction of what she publishes is even remotely palatable, but i think your over reacting. most of your statements could easily apply too a large portion of modern music.

  • mr meathead this is some truth (never thought id say that). and manson… you suck

  • Lady Gaga has ONE thing going for her.

    She writes her own songs. Or at least, claims she does. That’s not saying much considering she’s been produced to high heaven, but it’s more then most disposable pop stars can say. Most don’t even pretend.

    Gaga is one of those who was brought up from inside the studio system. She was made, she didn’t make her self, and while it’s possible she has some real talent under there somewhere, as long as she idolizes rich assholes she’ll be as obnoxious as the vapid class she emulates.

  • Just be patient folks! Lady GaGa will be headlining a state fair with the Click Five and 3Oh!3 in no time. Having a mostly teenage, female fanbase is essentially the kiss of death as far as longevity is concerned. The have notoriously short attention spans and are disloyal to boot. If you don’t believe me, observe the career arcs of the Bay City Rollers, New Kids on the Block, Bush, Sugar Ray, N’Sync, and the Backstreet Boys.

  • Say what you want about Lady Gaga, but don’t insult the McRib.

    Lady Gaga appeals to the stupid impressionable chicks who want to be electro pop hippies but 3 years ago were part of the “emo” groupie fad, 2 years ago were part of the “Bright Eyes” craze, a year ago thought they were hippies and hip hop.

    But, is being a fan of the dumb bitches in Millionaires or Brokencyde or “Crabcore” even worse where they somehow managed to incorporate all that shit I just posted above worse then this? It’s like asking what kind of shit do you want to eat. Horse or human. Or people who wear the Hot Topic Che Guevera shirts?

    Fuck, now I’m worried.

  • So… she’s not a tranny? We’re absolutely clear on this?

  • Horse or human.

    i’d say horse. the McRib is sure to liquefy upon impact with a human’s stomach.

  • Ladyboy gaga

  • I agree Meathead. Lady Gaga is a dumb cunt, but so are most of the “artists” in the mainstream music scene. But do not worry, the scene changes rapidly when talking about girls. They all follow one thing to be cool, but within a year, they forget what their favorite musician was. Look at the emo fad a few years ago, and the raver fad, etc. They all try to be cool, but deep down they have to know Lady Gaga has zero talent and that she should kill herself.

    She is a disgrace to art and artists. As a musician, it saddens me that I cannot make millions off of the true music I write, yet this cunt makes millions off of shitty singing and a beat that I could have produced on the toilet.

    FUCK YOU LADY GAGA, GO DIE IN A GUTTER!

  • ahhhh….are all you people that pathetic that you have to come onto this message board and post about someone needing to kill themselves?

    Her music is mainstream pop music, and that’s how all of it is. She is working hard to achieve what she has achieved, and I don’t see any of you with a hit single (if any of you have one I stand corrected but I can guarantee you don’t).

    I’m an adult, I don’t listen to this kind of music, but her songs are catchy, even if they are a bit weird, and I don’t mind hearing them on the radio. She can sing, and her music is obviously popular.

    As far as her being ugly…I’m guessing you guys are sooo much better (not really, assuming most of you are probably 40 year olds living in your parents’ basements preparing for the next star wars convention by sitting online and trying to hurt other people who will never be influenced by your comments)

  • Well spoken.

    You know, Lady Gaga didnt made it into my cognition. yet. But then I read something about her and Manson dumbfuck some few days ago, and it rang a bell. Its not like I would have checked out her website or even bothered to google her weird, mindblowing dumb name. All I was recognizing was the fact that she hangs out with Manson. Or Manson with her? I dont know. That was all that made me make an opinion about her. Your whole article just confirmed my sneaking suspicion bout that douche. thx

  • Good Fucking Lord!!!Gagga My dick in your mouth you stupid little bitch.Don’t you remember the porn series the gag factor…ga ga ga ga ga ga ga!!!!

  • I want to marry Lady Gaga and move with her to Alabama. That way I can beat her mercilessly without anyone giving me any trouble.

  • There’s this new girl who sits right next to me at work, and she listens to nothing but one of LA’s most obnoxious mainstream radio stations (i.e. KIIS FM).

    Now mind you, before she came along, I had nothing but DEAD SILENCE to greet me in the early hours of the morning.

    Thanks to you Meathead, I now know which “artist” sings this godawful “song,” because they overplay this soul-stealing fuckery every five minutes of the fucking day.

    I’m very, very sorry to have clicked that play button on You Tube, because the mental image of her turd-stained face now accompanies an equally horrific soundtrack I’d care to avoid.

    Tomorrow, I am throwing my co-worker’s portable radio out the fucking window.

  • meathead lady ga ga is too easy of a target. plus its crazy the amount of marriage proposals u get after your posts ive seen marry me meathead! at least a dozen times.

  • What bothers me is the fact that the chorus to Poker Face is so pop-excellent. That seems to be the case with all her songs: shit-puke verses and killer choruses.

  • This is the best version she’s done of Love Games to date:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7yLOUT-L4Q

  • Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite. “Her” junk came out on stage. Video confirmation below:

    http://bossip.com/139759/chicks-with-dcks-is-lady-gaga-packing/

  • You all are just crazy, jealous, and have no talent worthy of knowing, which is where the jealousy comes from. Thanks for posting though; your ridiculous comments, beginning with the initial post, made for a good laugh. There is so much I would like to say to you crazy fools, but I would have to waste my time to do so. Ciao!

  • poke-her-face

  • [...] year-old-world (and Cara as well). She’s really just celebrity. Likewise, here’s a good article about all the falsehoods of Lady Gaga’s “artistry”, which captures my current [...]

  • Of course her music is supposed to be superficial! In the wikipedia article you quoted she clearly states that her career is about her image and _not_ her music. Music is the means through which she communicates her image. In that regard, I guess she is a performance artist. But just because you have an outlandish personality doesn’t make you an artist. If she’s neither musician nor artist I guess she could just be called a personality.

    P.S.: Michael Jackson is a bestseller but that doesn’t make his music inherently better. I’m sure that in its day it wasn’t considered high art either and probably warranted the same criticisms.

  • I like lady gaga :)

  • “You make empty, meaningless dance music, and you wear fruity costumes, and that’s it”

    you hit the nail on the head! Seriously where your fnabase is a bunch of teen emo/scene/’techno’ kids, who like all other pop music, your music sucks. Not to mention everyone is idiolizing Michael Jackson, I have noticed for even long before he died. They all want to be -iconic with a special style- like MJ…well they completely sucks and have no idea what there doing. If they knew good music..styles just happen. She is the least favorite pop singer..even worse than Chris Brown who I have watched copy nearly every Michael jackson video (thriller, smooth criminla, the way you make me feel, he has VERY OBVIOUSLY copied those and even more). Actually now that everone just now “omgloves” MJ, when before if I mentioned they made faggot jokes, I hope they realize how chris would be absolutely nothing w/o MJ.

    yes, I ranted on your blog. sorry. xP

  • Michael Jackson set the standard for millions of aspiring musicians. He invented a genre, he was onstage since age 5 and he rocked all the way.

    If you take a look at what he did on the BAD tour, for example, you would understand why his albums are the best selling around.

    To compare his work to this washed up trippy chick is simply nonsense. I knoe she adores him, but where he succeded (making timeless music, with lyrics that really drive the music) she just fails.

    But I guess not everyone wants to take a ride on a disco stick.

  • Her music is meant to be fun. Not profound.

    Perhaps once someone like yourself has marinated in their own pretentious bullshit for long enough, the concept of “fun” doesn’t really set in like it’s meant to.

  • Did I mention she has a dick?

  • There nothing “fun” about listening to lady gaga

  • I’m SOOOOO glad I found this…I thought I was the only one! Why the HELL is she so damn popular? It’s all smoke an mirrors – before I knew who the hell she was and only had heard her songs on the radio I thought they SUCKED so I was surprised to discover that *this* was the woman that everyone was raving about? It’s crap pop music that any 1/2 assed pop artist and producer could pull off…over processed garbage and the lyrics are complete garbage. When someone has to try SOOOOO hard to be “different” or “weird” or “strange” etc…the truth is they’re NOT. She just needs attention.

    I just wish people would stop talking about her ‘talent’ and be real…she’s a performer, that’s it and it’s not about the music, her music sux and she’s an attention seeker.

  • What the fck is this? Some type of hidden, basement cult for 40 year old men who have nothing else to do with their lives but talk shit about someone they don’t even know?? Get a life you idiots. And don’t be so fkng ignorant!
    Of course that woman has talent.
    If you would even bother to leave your narrow-minded-piece-of-shit-good-for-nothing-self-absorbed ignorance behind to actually look up Lady gaga’s history, and live performances (acoustics) before and after become Gaga, you would realize she is a talented woman. But no, it’s more accomodating to sit in front of a computer and talk shit on the internet where no one know who the hell you are.
    This is fking ridiculous. I thought people in the world were much more intelligent than this idiocy. Ugh you guys make me sick.

  • I agree with Liz. I respect you guys opinion, but next time dont jump the gun. Dont judge people so rashly.

    Watch this:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM51qOpwcIM

  • Amazing, well-written, and point-proven.

  • I find her music absolutely boring and her “wild” sense of style (cough) seems so, whatstheword, contrived, it doesn’t seem as if it’s authentically creative, it does seem like a marketing ploy. Most her fans probably haven’t seen anything else outside of “now” (aka Perez Hilton culture etc).

  • ” that offer nothing but aesthetic and stylic value to the viewer, and it makes me sad.”

    Hmm.. I don’t think she offers much value there, aesthetic and style needn’t be consumerist wannabe “arty”.

  • “She is working hard to achieve what she has achieved, and I don’t see any of you with a hit single (if any of you have one I stand corrected but I can guarantee you don’t).”

    Ever thought of the possibility that some people wouldn’t want to follow her path, you idiot ?

  • And, uh, Liz, some people find her music and “style” earnestly crap.

    Furthermore, just because that is so, doesn’t mean one is… “ugly”, “untalented” and whatever else your lazy mind can come up with.

  • What will people remember you for when you die?

  • Damn, will I have to listen for her more years to come?… Oh noooooo, somebody kill her

  • I get the sense that there is a possibility that she’s just acting stupid, ala GW Bush, in order to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes. That’s incredibly crass, natch. But as a way to relate to the drooling morons out there it seems to be working.

    Smart people can recognize a phony and she is definitely that. But the demographic she is shooting for is a) the truly dumb or naive, b) pretentious people who believe they are smart and just don’t know they actually aren’t, and c)people who know they are not smart but will do whatever it takes to conceal said fact (which often involves just falling in line).

    Wait, that’s almost smart.

    So anyway, I think the whole point of her “music” is just to make scads and scads of dosh. She’s doing that well, but the whole facade of “artist” is pretty easy to see through. She might be cleverer than she appears, but as I said above its really just so crass.

  • Dude, I’m all about bashing the modern pop music movement, the bullshit, the conformity, the lack of creativity and legitimate skill; but I’m sad to tell you that Lady Gaga is actually a talented musician.

    Her tracks are designed to get stuck in peoples heads. Go back and listen to one of her hits closely, listen real closely. You’ll hear like..7 or 8 tracks sometimes and that causes people to be unable to recreate the melody in their head because their unaware of it, therefore it gets stuck in peoples heads.

    Now, like I said, I’m all about ranting on about the bullshit that is modern music, but she’s just doing her job, and the fact that you’re provoked to go on about it for several thousand words means she’s doing it very well because even someone who doesn’t listen to her is talking about her, which if they havn’t already heard about her, will prompt them to go look her up and may or may not like it.

    Like I said, sorry to say, truth hurts, know your shit before you go on a vibrant rant about nothing because you’re an outspoken biased individual

  • Crazy frog and Alvin and the Chipmunks songs also got stuck in my head… for years. You know what else gives LSS? – BEP songs. I guess they’re super talented too.

  • Her music is not what irks me. Pop music has its place I suppose, not my thing (hey, give me the Gun Club and Lydia Lunch, man…) but variety is the spice of life and all. What pisses me off about this chick is her fake-weirdness. Lady Gaga you are NOT weird. You are NOT interesting. You are NOTHING special, remarkable, memorable, so forth, and so on. You are beyond normal. Oh my god, how shocking, you find other women attractive! You have no pants! Your lips are bright red! Shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavior! Please. I’ve been wilder ways from my cat when she wants a treat. You’re not fooling me honey. You’re just a pop tart with daddy issues. *yawn* And to the critics of us here commenters that we’re all a bunch of ugly 40 year old men (uuh, 24 year old chick over here) who are like…soooooo jealous of Gaga’s ragin’ fame and success and we’re mad because we don’t have gobs of cash, fame, and number one hits: not everyone wants to be a butt-monkey of hollywood, with no private life, no soul, and no personality whatsoever. I like being an individual, not a product. Lookin’ at you, GaGa.

  • you´re so fucking right,dude!
    really enjoied to read this.
    lady g. is a fucking pain in the ass.
    the stupidest thing of her,that i heard(unfortunatly):
    “with ‘disco stick’,i mean penis!”
    art?
    lol
    it´s just fucking pop music.
    i bet,in five years from now,almost not a single person will even know,that she ever had existed.

  • Hey hey,

    Just wanted to say that lady Gaga is famous because she is a pop singer who can sing (unlike madonna or britney). This to me is the first reason.

    After, I know it looks good to critisize people when everybody like them. But I think Lady Gaga is diferent in the way she dressed and her video clip are done. So even if u don’t like it you have to admit that she tries to do something different.

    Excuse me for my English which is not ver y good :) But I think it is good enough to know that you really shouldn’t use Cocksucker to talk about people since it sounds really homophobic.
    Exept this it’s a nice article.

  • You are a good man. I would let you fuck my friend’s girlfriend for writing such a biting article.

    My brother attends one of the top art colleges in Canada (hold your laughter), and 90% of the vapid twats there worship this retard. He has echoed your title almost verbatim to me, and that is how I found this site, however his version was “Lady Gagger wouldn’t know art if it smacked her in the cunt”.

    That is all.

  • The fact that people say “Gaga can sing”, & “Gaga writes her own songs”, is an obvius sign of the times. Gaga is a TRAINED singer who is ONLY capable of singing 2.3-2.6 octaves. You know what that kind of range is called? A V E R A G E! Her songwriting? Is repeating “po, po, po, po, pokerface” & “ale, ale, ale, ale, alejandro”, a sign of talent? No. It’s a sign of NONEXISTANT talent! (Pokerface was btw co-written!)

    She has not just copied some of the biggest names out there, but she also happens to copy what THEY say! I hate conspiracy theories and all that crap, but I honestly am starting to wonder how it’s possible that someone so untalented has managed to BRAINWASH half of the kids walking this planet. It’s like some bad juju magic!

  • Artist? At what finger painting with shit? More “LCD” lowest common denominator crap delivered by the so called taste makers out there who make it nearly impossible for truly talented people. Fuck her, them, and all enjoying this nonsense. Dismember the little cunt, and disperse her ill gotten gains to people in need.

  • i personally am not a fan of her music or her performance art. but i think you may be misinterpreting what her performance art is. if you look deeper into her lyrics and absolutely every weird thing she does, rather than taking it for granted, she’s making a statement about society. how we’re bizarre, the haters are made into an example of people who can’t let her be, and her fans are stupid because they usually don’t realize that she’s antagonizing them, and everything their culture, and society at large, stands for. she doesn’t like fame. her performance at the vma’s clearly shows that she is dying of fame, setting a good example for the kids if they could only understand what she was saying. lady gaga’s just a character kind of like sacha baron cohen’s borat or Bruno. it’s satire. i don’t like her music, and i don’t like that she’s biting the hand that feeds, but she certainly is not stupid, and certainly knows what she is doing.

    I think this is way better than AVERAGE (at least for a pop star).

    She is criticized like Madonna was a long time ago because she is shocking and she understood.

    Her character appeals to the gay community and it will make her a superstar… For a pop singer having the gay community at your back is a good way to become a big star. And she is wonderful with gay people

  • The average popstar is complete and utter horseshit with no redeemable qualities whatsoever (sounds kinda like her, but…). Just because she’s ‘wonderful with gay people’ (you make them sound like abused children or dangerous animals…) and a more extreme variable of the exact same mold doesn’t mean she’s by default ‘good’ or better or anything resembling halfway decent. That’s like saying a hamburger bun full of rotting dicks is good just because you live in a world fed on shit sandwiches. There’s no such thing as a lesser evil. Evil is still evil. This bitch still sucks. She just has a lot people working very hard behind her, and a career that’s snowballing around social proof and crowd psychology. Her ’statements’ about society couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag on their own merits. It’s vacant, contrived, unoriginal bullshit and you people are idiots. Go listen to Boys and tell me that doesn’t belong on a Spice Girls record circa 1996.

  • C
    Sorry if my sentence about gay is not correct, its not what I wanted to say (but my English is not perfect :) ), and I am gay myself (and not homophobic)so no worries about that.
    To me, of course its not the best music in the world but I think she still is a way better than other pop singers (the very very bad hamburgers lol).
    The only thing that is bad in what u said is “you people are idiots”. It s becoming more and more common to judge and insult people nowadays if they have different tast than you. If people like lady Gaga, it’s because to them its not shit I reckon. It doesn’t mean that these people are less respectable than you.

  • What do YOU mean “you people”? Haha! C, that was one of the most astute comments I’ve read on this site. I don’t get why people think she’s such a genious because she’s tricking people into liking her by playing into their hands. That just means she knows how to make money like all of the other shitty pop stars. The bottom line is that her music is total shit. I’d rather listen to Ace of Base. How can you say its even above average? Is it some new revelation that sex and controversy teamed up with shitty pop music sells? What is so genious about that. If I give her credit for anything its that she’s convinced hipsters she’s cool. I think the jokes on them.

  • She’s closer to art than you and me…that’s a fact,
    and sure you have the right to criticize how much you like who ever you want, but for me this is the proof this is all you have…”Those who criticize others often are not perfect, either”

  • This is so wrong! GaGa’s parents were not rich at all they were a working class family and her parents wanted GaGa and her sister to get the best education available so they sent them to a private school and worked day and night to pay the fees. That is why GaGa always talks about her parents instilling a very strong work ethic in her and her sister. Also GaGa did not start out as a pop artist, she sang jazz and was eventually offered a record, you can see this for yourself on youtube search “electric kiss stefani germanotta” its the first video that comes up. however after some time her record company dropped her. I’m not sure for what reason. Her earlier music was VERY good, captivated, electric kiss, flood, red and blue, thay were all jazz at its best. She was devastated by this and started to figure out what to do with her life, she was started waitressing during the day and going to nightclubs and parties at night and eventually got addicted to the night life. She then wrote pokerface, just dance and released them as singles to an overwhelming response. She then realised people did not care about passion and soul, as long as the song had a hyped up catchy beat they would eat it up. So she started writing exactly that. She even wrote songs for britney! She eventually released her first album “the fame” and became the only artist to have 4 number one hits on a debut album. With a talent like that she knew she could write album after album and keep pumping them out, but no, she takes time to make sure they had a catchy beat and ALSO had something personal like how she used to write before. She really worked very hard to get where she is now, her parents are not rich. She couldn’t even afford a 300 dollar dress for her prom. But I dont think anyone can truly deny that she has talent. I think she is definitely one of the most talented artists to emerge since Madonna, David Bowie, even Michael Jackson. Its true that she might borrow things like David Bowie’s blue lightning or Ace of bases’s beat in alejandro but she recreates them and makes them up to date, she even credits them in her interviews, She recently collapsed in New Zealand because she literally has no time to eat or to sleep, she sleeps in the plane in between shows, because she yearns to have the best concert she can possibly create and that requires a lot of money so she told her manager that she would work non stop to pay for the technology and equipment, and guess what, she has the best live shows as of now. Even if you don’t like GaGa if you were to go to one of her concerts I think you would be amazed at the set up and all the technology that went into it. I’m sorry for posting such a long post but I read someone’s comments saying that GaGa begged her father to make her famous and I just lost it… as a true fan and someone who believes in hardwork and passion, GaGa is one of my idols. Like it or not, when she passes away at 99 years old… she will be an icon.
