♥ Of fame and fashion, Lady Gaga posted September 15, 2009, 3:33 am

When Just Dance first made its debut on the Play mix list, the gay community was quickly to adopt her songs and absorb themselves into the way she dictates her culture through her songs in her album, aptly titled The Fame: boys, money, sex, disco balls, glitter and fame. She became the icon of an idol among many of the young boys.

Ever since Just Dance, Gaga has had runaway successes with each of her following singles: Pokerface, Love Game and now, Paparazzi. The story she speaks is a controversial one, full of sexual implications and innuendoes (we all know sex sells), although not so in your face direct like what Katy Perry did with her words. This opens up a whole new market of listeners and fans: people who could care less for the lyrics and what they mean, but listen to music because it sounds good. How many of you really knew what Spice Girl’s “Wannabe” actually meant? The same parallel could be drawn for the equally blind and oblivious people who are crazy about K-pop or J-pop.

My opinion of Lady Gaga has always been a mixed one.

I love her spectacular showmanship, the amount of effort she puts in for each, individual performance that she gives, the amount of preparation and money she gives in to make each and every show she does, a unique and memorable one. How many established artists are actually capable of doing that? Lady Gaga isn’t even established, she’s new.

I started to despise her mega mainstream pop culture, where rabid fans who don’t know the first thing about what makes her great, scream and declare their utmost undying love for her like mindless unintelligent drones seeking to be “cool” just because those who truly are cool, like her.

“oh ya ya ladie gaga she is like best i like her so much ya poker face dance and love games”

Do you understand what she stands for? Do you know where she comes from?

Also the blatantly ignorant, who criticize and laugh at her outrageous outfits, just because she dares to support and wear some of the more risqué pieces legendary designers come out with (her three VMA outfits last night were from Jean Paul Gaultier) means she’s at the forefront of fashion. And where are you?
