The thing about Gaga is that people who like her will say wow shes so crazy and artistic, all you boring non arty people just won't get her like we do!!
Well, those people are wrong. Stomping around with a bad wig on and then putting on a deranged look while wobbling your arse around in nude underwear isn't original or artistic. Miley Cyrus did the very same thing last month.
The reason why most people don't "get" Gaga is because there is nothing to get. Its a load of random contrived shit that people lap up because they think it makes them creative and unique. She's 100% out for publicity at all times and will do literally anything for it. She's just a cash cow for her record company.
And her music is just terrible. At least her earlier stuff was catchy.

Absolutely. And as someone who used to be a fan, I can say from myself and others' experience that at some point every fan of Lady Gaga finally realises this and wonders what the hell they've been getting excited about. For me, I realised when her second album was all about the hype and not at all about the music - the album was mostly filler. Many others had this same epiphany. Plenty more had the penny drop when she pulled that stunt with trying to cheat her way to #1 in the US. She's on her way out, the original fanbases are fading.
I think she is very talented, but this is dreadful in some many ways.
Much has been made, of late, of Miley Cyrus' antics and the supposed, dodgy lyrics of Robin Thicke..
However, talented though she may be and I've heard favourable comparisons to Kate Bush, though I'm not seeing why, in terms of talent and song-writing depth, but, for me, this was a load of self obsessed tosh..far more "shocking," if that sort of thing is supposed to "shock," than Cyrus, but totally lacking in any sort of musical innovation, or originality.
The mere fact that she's touted as this genius but appears on this show, leaves much to be questioned.
I thought it was a cringey mess, but Do What You Want is quite catchy. It's a shame that she is wasting her natural talent and stage presence on just trying to be as ridiculous as possible.
Ok. Just made myself watch it. The first song (Venus?) - usual GaGa tat. Second song I actually quite liked, it's a move away from her normal G.A.Y/eurotrashy style. But the performances? Just wrong. She's deranged. And not in a wonderfully artful, beautifully expressive way like Kate Bush. Just bonkers.
She is hilariously weird. I would rather have a world with loony mentalists like GaGa than without.
Some people hate saying 'what the f**k did I just watch? after a performance' I *love* it. If an artist can combine that with a catchy song and strong musical skills, they gets the thumbs up from me.
There's a place in the music world for standing at a mic and just singing, but there's also a place for the riotously entertaining over-the-top freakshow.
Excellent vocals, especially considering how physically demanding her choreography was.
Weird seeing the like of Gaga claim originality, yet all she is is a very poor imitation of Madonna in late 80s/early 90s
One of the differences between the 2 is that during the late 80's/early 90's Madonna was releasing killer tunes.
Venus I've now heard several times,but still cant remember enough to hum the tune. There seems 4 parts to it too & they don't flow together easily.
Do What U Want is better- but sounds like a strong album track,not an album launching single.
Gala is bland product that comes in very interesting,flashy wrapping. At the end of the day its the music that leaves the last impression,not the wacky performances or hyperbole.
I also like how people are saying "what was she wearing!?" when she was wearing just the essentials to cover her bits anyway, if she wears one of her huge outfits she gets the same critical response. She'll never win, but she's a strong woman and that's what I like her!

She trades on her image and some catchy pop songs, but is just an ok singer in my opinion. Bit like Madonna ......
It was a calmer performance, as Gaga only had 2 days of rehearsal. Still vocally outstanding.
What was it about her monotonously dynamic-less if reasonably solid voice going off key (consistently out of tune to the same degree, flat and out of tune all the same, through the first song)trying to navigate simple melody lines did you find to be vocally outstanding?

That's the way I see it too. What I like about her is her complete confidence in whatever she's doing. She totally owns it.

Rich,

And if you call that music I can only assume you're deaf.
That's the remnant of the meat suit, made into beef curtains.
Erm no, I've never took much notice of her
