Title: I just downloaded Born This Way from ITunes...
Post by: A Forgotten Legend on May 25, 2011, 05:03:24 AM
...and I'm enjoying it so far.  I was wondering what the rest of the charasian world thought of Lady Gaga?  I know Lucas's opinion. =P


Government Hooker is... a really strange song.

I don't like her.

ed: A little clarification because of my brevity, which was fairly dickish.
I, quite simply, don't like her music.
I am extraordinarily picky when it comes to my musical tastes, and she doesn't play to them.

I may be putting my balls on the line here, but I approve. Her songs are surprisingly catchy, she's got a weirdness that I can't ignore, and one of her songs was so ****ing heavy that I could have mistaken it for metal. Now, I'm not going to be buying her albums, going to her concerts, or dialing in to her songs on the radio, but I have nothing bad to say.

Normally I just take the music from random youtube vid--- what?  I decided to buy the album because I had heard some great things about it.  Usually don't buy albums to stuff so it was different.

Lady Gaga is looking more and more like a heroin addict as her career goes on.

Some of her songs are catchy, but "Born This Way" just doesn't do it for me at all.

And it's an obvious ripoff of "Express Yourself."

I thought lady gaga was the new Madonna? Dresses like something on the street, says provocative things to the church and crawls around on stage humping stuff?
I can't say that I like her music very much, it sounds like any typical club music these days. And I'm no big fan of clubs.

And then she acts and dresses like a total PR whore but none seems to care, can't say I'm a big fan of that either.

There is something similar that happens with Electric Chapel and White Wedding.

Compared to the rest of the market, at least her songs have a bit of a ring to them.
I wouldn't put her up there with 'The greats', but taking into consideration groups like
The Black-Eyes Peas and T-Dog Woof Woof Canine or whatever he's called.

Yeah, I don't like her. Nothing really new about her stuff and the whole thing about dressing like whatever is just so... boring. I mean, c'mon, there are better ways to be creative. She could be using that creativity on, you know, her songs.

I don't particularly like Lady Gaga, but some of her songs are annoyingly catchy. The exception is Bad Romance, which I actually do like. (Same could be said of Kedollarsignha, but to a lesser degree.)

I love everything and nothing.
Very few of her songs I like, but the same can be said for nearly any singer/band. I like pretty much everything, but I'm also very picky.

I actually really like her. Girl can sing and a couple of her songs are catchy. The new songs so far are a little boring though.

Also anyone who can do this deserves to be up there:

That's really cool.  I guess you can still see some of this when she would do piano versions of some of her songs.

I actually...like a few of Lady Gaga's songs. Granted, that doesn't mean I like all of them. Bad Romance is one of the best pop songs I've heard in the past decade. As for Lady Gaga herself, I do think she has better talent than most of the pop singers on the radio, and I do appreciate that she does try to be weird, even though it seems like she's trying too hard sometimes. So I guess you could say that I have some respect for her.

I fully agree with this, while I still dislike her music.

Pop died with MJ. RIP, king.

I hate pop.

With the exception of Michael Jackson.
Smooth Criminal will always have a special place in my heart.

No reason to hate just because it's something to hate. I can appreciate that some pop music has some good things going on. So it's not my preferred musical choice. So what? If there's something to appreciate, acknowledge it.

Besides, I've always been one to be up-front about my feelings. I don't have shame, or something.

It Gaga is a very strange being full of fame and darkness. When I look at this pop star I see nothing but symbolism and mimicry of other artists. Even Marilyn Manson said It Gaga stole his style. If you believe in mind washing this is the leader and "Government Whore" of them all.

Yes, because everything is a conspiracy.

Everything.

Even the conspiracy is part of a larger conspiracy.

Three four pages. Not exactly a record, but I'm astonished at how quickly we can get off topic.

Not that I care, I just find it funny.

EDIT: And of course, my post starts the fourth page.
