heh, i'd go with "cynical pandering hack", but yeah, she sure seems to be copping a lot from Dale Bozzio, whether deliberately or not. i suppose the Lady Gaga experience could be accurately reproduced by playing Madonna/Missing Persons songs simultaneously? or, at least, watching their videos on a wall of TVs (tangent - walls of TVs now seems really 80s - or maybe it's that, as a kid, i got the impression that in the future we'd all have walls of TVs in our house).
Shock value? Gay icon? Snappy/infectious tunes? Can actually sing?
...actually, all of those..In my opinion. Look her up on YouTube re: 'before she was GaGa' - and you'll see. My knowledge of her is pretty limited, really, but I do have, 'Pokerface', on my iPod :/ I know, I know - Sid Vicious is spinning in his grave, as we speak.
Or maybe there's subliminal messages/evil mindcontrol/hypnotic waves in her music? Yes? Yes?
against my will i am starting to like her. She's batty and i love a bit of genuine batty. Her music... eeeh, i dont like it, but fuck, those outfits, and the fact she's using her fame for good i think shes alright.
she also campaigned hard again DADT and a few other things. i quite like her that whole 'outcasts unite' / 'you can do/be anything you want to' thing too.
its just a pity her music is pretty rubbish. the kids like it, oh well. have you heard her new song? 'I'm in love with Judas'? pleeease.
