That isn't creativity, it's just being controversial to get a reaction. This is what she has based her success on. Dj, you can analyse it and go into it as deep as you like but on the outside the videos are about homosexuality and religion. In both cases the videos have caused controversy, Malaysia banned her Born This Way video and Christian groups have criticised Judas.

They have caused controversy because people decide to not understand the song for what it is and just look at it on the surface.

That's the thing about music, you can interpret anyway you want to and those people chose to see it in that light.

And ultimately, whatever the intent of the artwork was doesn't negate the effect that it had. Those people are validly offended, whether they were meant to be or not.

I guess what I said may have been understood as saying they shouldn't be offended but that's not what I meant.

They have the right to be offended by material whether that was the intention or not.

Lady GaGa - Just Dance

You've likely heard this somewhere before so I'll cut to the chase. This sound comes across as a throwback to that terrible club **** they had on in the early 90's. The major difference here is that Lady Gaga seems to have a tounge-in-cheek approach, knowing how foolish the club life can be, and knowing to put actual lyrics in here rather than stopping at a rough sketch of a plot like the early club music had at the dawn of the 90's.

At the days end its a pop song. And its not your indie-acceptible pop either, this is unabashed materialistic pop. But its ****ing good. Maybe its because of the nostaligia, but I embraced this song with an expansive wingspan.

The industry is all about visual. She is also weird and the kids love it. She sells albums, but she is very limited. It is all about money and what sells because if you like it or not the entertainment industry is run by Media Corporations and they push it down your throat. She is more of an entertainer, not a true musician. Sorry.
