So; how about that Lady Gaga? Isn’t she…something? To be honest I’m really not sure what to make of her. Her videos are just so elaborate and bizarre; whenever one comes on t.v. I can’t change the channel, I have to watch. The really strange thing, though, is that I can’t figure out if I like her music or not. I never hear her on the radio stations that I listen to; only when I see the videos which never fail to capture my complete attention. “Telephone” featuring Beyonce and “Bad Romance” are especially description defying.
Her newest one, “Alejandro” is a little bit more…less out there; but only by comparison. It still features some crazy costumes, like for instance a machine gun bra (come to think of it “Bad Romance” has her wearing some sort of a sparkler bra that sets fire to a bed and the guy laying on it; maybe the lesson here is: keep your hands off of Gaga’s ta-tas). For some reason, “Alejandro” reminds me of Madonna’s “Like A Prayer”. I think it’s partly the sacrilegious imagery and partly the overall sound of the song (which I am just beginning to notice after about a dozen viewings).
Regular viewers of Much Music’s Video On Trial will know that Lady Gaga is a “repeat offender”. I believe that every one of her videos been “brought to justice” at one time or another. The jurors comments are usually very crass, but still funny and even kind of accurate. One thing they’ve pointed out, that I’ve also noticed, is Gaga’s changing appearance. Sometimes she looks like a very attractive young lady and other times she looks more like John Leguizamo in drag. In “Bad Romance” she has at least three different faces. There have also been rumours about her being a trans-sexual; I don’t believe it though. She dances around in just her bra and panties in every one of her videos. I’ve examined these scenes very closely (just so that I could write an educated piece) and I certainly have never seen any sort of…evidence which would support that theory and lead me to become confused and question my own sexuality (like what happened when I watched “The Crying Game”).
So, Lady Gaga, your videos are like a proverbial train wreck; I just can’t look away.
Say, something just occurred to me. What if Lady Gaga and Marilyn Manson did a video together? What would that look like?
Stupid WordPress, putting in extra stuff that’s not supposed to be there.
I heard a high school marching band playing “Bad Romance” the other day in a parade. When your songs are being massacred by a high school marching band, you’re not cool anymore.
I have never seen her videos. I have heard snippets of her songs. To me, she’s just another manufactured product, like a modern-day Madonna. Only I think Gaga has more talent in the costumery department. Gaga is more of a “performance artist,” with a focus on fashion design instead of choreography or singing. She’s the child of wealthy parents in NYC, so it’s not surprising that she got where she is. It’s not like she came out of nowhere. Her career was carefully planned and well-funded.

I am not a fan of gaga.I have never seen all about her videos.
Im a fan of Lady Gaga songs but never the videos.. Just like the majority..
I think she just tries too hard to be…..something. Shocking? Bizaree? \”Artistic\”? They probably all fit.
Never understood the appeal at all. It’s like an entertainment act with some music thrown in for background noise.
I don’t like Lady Gaga.
And I’m not apologizing for that anymore.
I don’t care about her, I don’t like her, but I’m not insulting her
I would like to see Lady GaGa do something with Marilyn Manson. Most of her collaborative efforts have been with Hip-Hop and R&B stars, probably because she is signed to Akon’s label – Convict Music. I would embrace a harder rock sound from GaGa.
To me she is quite bizarre, the way she looks (well she probably looks good in descent clothes) makes me turn off TV every time I see her.
If you ask me lady gaga is just doing now what madonna did in the 80s.
Lady Gaga is creatively-innovative with talent. Unlike the others who just copy mindlessly.
lady gaga is soooooo amazing she is beutiful artistic and she has a side of strange wich makes me love her !WOOHOO LadYGaGa!
I think she is a talented musician and she is really stunning. She has took the UK by storm. I would say she is defiantly a little on the weird side with the way she dress however.
She’s so pretty when she dosen’t? look like a dragqueen or the alien from Independence Day
Indeed,? GAGA is the most amazing performer this days… Even I am unable to put my eyes off from the screen when she’s onscreen
Not a Gaga fan,i donºt like her dressing “sistem”, but has some great songs
