But how is that a gimmick for getting a record deal? GaGa was dropped for being ''too weird'' from a previous label, and rejected by countless others, so its hardly a card trick.

I don't know, I was just taking a stab at what I thought they meant by gimmick.

She's got tons of talent and I think her music is really creative. She'd still make a ton of money if she wasn't a freak, but not as much. Her ridiculous hair and outfits just adds to her persona. But that's what superstars do, they make themselves seem more than human and she is the best at it. Plus she is hott and super sexual. It's something you can market to a lot of people.

What has Gaga been up to as of late?

One of the few pop artists of the 21st century that doesn't only play mass produced music that is based off of a formula. Sometimes I feel she does things just to piss people off and cause controversy, but she's a good musician and that's really all that matters.

And her piano version of Poker Face is excellent.

Didn't they decide she's a she?

projectriceco · 11-07-2010, 08:18 PM

yeah but i was referring to her style of music. i honestly dont care if shes a guy or a girl shes/him/it/etc. is a great singer.

I find her to be very talented. She's also legitimately bizarre and whatnot, and thrust into the mainstream. It's somewhat refreshing, although the copycats who are actually well-adjusted, pampered kids are going to try to cash in on it, and have already started to do so, really.

I personally prefer her music from when she was a nobody playing the piano and singing songs she'd written, but I do have to admit that a lot of her pop/dance songs are quite catchy.

Her songs are somewhat bearable but her antics in public really make me hate her. She is the living definition of an attention whore and I don't buy this "wacky and crazy" persona she is pushing. It's doing nothing more than to cover up the fact that her songs are the same old **** that other pop singers do.

Needless to say the only way I would be interested in listening to a second of her songs is if Cartman sang all of them.
