Lasereth

I like her stuff but I'm not a huge fan of Telephone and Alejandro. I used to like both of them but they got old REALLY fast. Her other stuff has a much longer shelf life.

Agreed Lasereth, though I never liked Telephone or Alejandro in the first place. So far, Bad Romance is her peak in my mind.

LATE EDIT: I'm totally changing my opinion of Lady GaGa.

She gets more interesting to me, the more I see her performances. And that "Meat suit" she wore to the awards show recently was about as Da Da as it gets.

Geez, Her 15 minutes of fame just keeps expanding and she's proved me wrong with my early "snap judgement". (Yep when I'm wrong, I'm wrong - but I'll admit it!)

Lady Gaga is the shit, man. Her music is sub-par to average, but her style and way she goes about things is top notch.

That meat suit was sexy.

Here is a Lady Gaga song to a "new version" of the video. I posted this elsewhere but cannot find it now...

Generally, I don't listen to a lot of popular music, but I find myself enjoying her music. Probably because I can't take her seriously. I have to spend my days being serious and she is a good escape.

I honestly question her longevity in this current...form. Like everyone, I wait for her to hit a red carpet to see "what on Earth was Gaga wearing?" I can't help but think that she wakes up some mornings and secretly thinks, "Why, oh WHY, did I start this shit?!?! I just want to run over to the store for some potato chips. Now, I have to put on my garbage bag dress and 7 in. heels!" It's a tough act to keep up. It must be exhausting.

Last Saturday at the gym, the guy on duty decided to forego the usual top 40 mix and just put on The Fame around the time I got there. Combined with the fact that the busiest it got was 3 people working out while I was there, that was awesome.

New Gaga! I love it, and the performance on the Grammys was spectacular!



Here's a link to a website in NZ that still has the Grammy performance up (we'll see how long that lasts): VIDEO: Lady Gaga sings 'Born This Way' at 2011 Grammys - Entertainment - Video - 3 News

It has a hard time buffering so you might want to let it load first.

Did anyone catch the piece on 60 minutes last night? Verry interesting.

I didn't, but I wanted to. Not because she is an entertainer, but because she lived above Stuffed Artisan Cannolis. She did live in the neighborhood, which I find interesting by itself.
