Scarlett O'Hara

She's a superstar, none the less should be expected.

I feel sorry for the rest of music in whole. Like her or no, it's not really the issue, this is getting so ridiculous. I've known people who basically live, eat, and breathe this woman. In often cases, it almost seems like some sort of massive twisted cult.

I mean, to give her some due, she's a good singer, and extremely creative with her imagery. But, that's kind of the problem, she seems to profit majorly off of every aspect of modern music apart from the music itself. Even then, what she does is certainly not landmark by any stretch.

I'm sure from a sheer musical perspective she's a decent pianist, and, again, a good singer in a very cardboard technical fashion. She somehow pairs that with being a slightly burlesquey glamor model, and somehow explodes into an echelon of popularity beyond seemingly everyone else.

It's a shame because seemingly every single aspect of her has been outdone, and overdone three thousand times in other mediums, genres, etc. From the photography, to the theatrics, to the show itself, to the music.

From a societal view, I just don't understand why we need superstars, and even if we have them... can we at least distribute the attention between multiple eccentrics? Maybe have a cavalcade of cult of personality figures to pick and chose from? Or maybe feel more confidence in our own identities to where we don't need them in the first place?

I mean, it's bad enough that somebody can't get as popular as Lady Gaga by I don't know... simply making great music... but, being able to go somewhere, anywhere, on the Internet, and click up to three links without seeing her freaking name, or going to freaking google news and have the ONLY article on the front about arts and culture FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD be about whatever silly costume she choses to wear, or whatever watered down rendition of the frankly GWARish gimmicks she's been tossing out right and left ad naseum.

I can majorly sympathize with what Mr.Rez is saying here. I rarely go to the pop forum but notice it's only once in a blue moon I go here and the last thing I see is anything but Lady Gaga. Frankly, I'm just tired of seeing her name or hearing about her. If she releases a new album, cool, lets talk about it. If she goes to the zoo to visit koalas in a thong made of string cheese, that is an attention grab, THAT IS NOT NEWS! She's only doing it for the attention and it distracts us all from more valuable figures and cultural aspects of our world we can spending our time discussing.

Even if I can concede to the concept that, even if I don't, other people think she's great, I have a hard time believing she is THAT great. We don't need to be sifting through her garbage seeing what kind of peanut butter she eats because it's not really that important to music, society, or culture in general.

I get a Lady Gaga pop up everytime I visit this page, the only pop up I get on this site. What's the meaning of this?

I don't. You might want to do a virus scan or something.

I tried to resurrect the Britney thread, but it didn't help much.

It's never going to change, ultimately with mainstream pop music there will always be some over-hyped pop superstar that people get obsessed over, thus overshadowing more 'decent' artists.

It's been happening since music was around bb. It just changes it's form every so often.

If it wasn't Lady Gaga it would be someone else, and will probably be so in 10 years.

My advice: get over it.

To me that's like a Nazi soldier saying: "So, a bunch of Jews died, get over it." while trying to justify the mass loyalty to Hitler.

Whether it be a simple continuation of a formula or not does not make it excusable. So, I will chose to complain in vague hopes that the world get sane. I mean, that's a trait of a satirist, and should be welcome.

Besides, I get the vague feeling if it were somebody else that somebody else would end up being the EXACT same thing since Viacom's got a barrel of em' out in the back.

Did you just compare Lady Gaga to Hitler? :\
