I think some of it is her idea and some she gets from random fashion designers. If she wasn't creative enough and responsible for most of her looks I highly doubt Target would have given her that job that they did.

EDIT: it might not be Target but she's some kind of fashion consultant for some company.

Still, Gaga is a disgrace for other reasons. I honestly just see her as just this sort of sleazy cokehead con-artist who will literally do anything for money. She may support the gays but it's obviously because they're a more stable long term audience than the particularly fickle teenie boppers who are intended to grow out of things quickly. If this were Germany in the 1940s she'd probably be singing about how much she hates the Jews. Really, anything for money. Typical carbon copy sleaze.

I agree with the second paragraph in this post but Malaysia have their own laws and standards. The culture is different over there, attitudes our towards homosexuality and their religions don't except it. You have to respect that and Lady Gaga isn't doing that.

I don't agree at all. I mean, look what banning music did for the Soviet Union's culture. There's a reason why most artists jumped ship, and crossed the seas.

I cannot defend a radical religious government for having an overly conservative outdated moral system. There's no reason why Gaga, who probably wasn't even thinking about Malaysia when she wrote the song, shouldn't have to respect anything in the regard.

Malaysia didn't even ban the song though, they just censored it up a bit.

Regardless, it's silly to defend a nation for being homophobic citing religious reasons.

I'm saying she doesn't care what she's writing, because she's 100% pandering. If her audience were Klansman she'd sing about how blacks, and immigrants are ruining the country.

Well, Lady Gaga's bisexual, so I always assumed she wrote for gays because she could relate to them.

I assumed she's only vaguely bicurious, and is flat out lying to maintain an image. It's not uncommon for her to fabricate things to help sustain the illusion of legitimacy.

So Gaga shouldn't respect the views of other countries when she's releasing her music across the world. It's just showing a complete lack of disregard to her potential audiences. I think it's a disgrace and the content of the video is clearly inappropriate for me.

I believe that's how it is....the same can be said for Nicki Minaj well no it's even worse with her. She's not even bi-curious. She puts out the image that she's bi but she's straight and has been with the same boyfriend for years.
