I'm getting pretty sick of the hype also, never hated her music really, but this piano stuff people are posting is amazing and nothing like her 'pop' stuff... no comparison, too bad she doesn't stick with her talents more often... Maybe when she has had enough money? :)

she's very talented and creative ... I love her facial expressions in this performance for some reason they are sexy as shit.. you can tell she puts her all into the performance and thats what I like to see... not to mention elton is one of my favs....

She's ok but I'm sick of hearing about her.

This is exactly it. She doesn't seem to mail it in...and she has more of a raw singing voice than Beyonce and Alicia Keys, who have been exposed a few times live.

say what you will but i will say this-

if you want to grab yer girl, get loaded and go have an outstanding & special fucking time, then you will go catch her act when she comes to your town.

When you have guys like Elton John working with her, she is here to stay! Like her or not.

Lessons people. Learn some lessons.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

damn straight. 8 rows from the stage orchestra left, IT WAS CRAZY! one of the best sound systems i've ever had the privilege to hear too.

As for her persona, there is a self-confidence message behind it. She has discussed in many times in the interviews where she gets deep.

When she was a teenager, she was an outcast. She grew up on the upper east side in a well to do family and was always the awkward artsy kid that just didn't fit in. She was a loner in a world she didn't feel like she belonged in.

Her message to her fans is come as you are. All of the social outcasts love her because she is who she wants to be and doesn't care what people think about it. That's why she calls her fans her "little monsters" ... because they're pretty, ugly, skinny, fat, "normal," "crazy" and everything in between.

When she was just Stefani, before the Lady Gaga, she found comfort and acceptance in the New York underground art scene.

What many do not realize is that she is behind her image 100%. She designs all of her own outfits, she does most set designs, etc.

She is 100% in control of her image.

The rumor going around now -- and I believe it -- is that she's burning out. She knows that to stay relevant she has to stay public, so she's trying to do too many shows, too many interviews, too many appearances and she's busy designing her shows from start to finish...feeling the need to make each one different...different props, different costumes, different set lists, etc.

There is probably nobody in show business that works as hard as she does.

Yep with pleasure :thumbsup

actually she is that manly. she has a stubby cock.

Listening to her songs that are on the radio I just don't get it. Her lyrics are simplistic at best, her beats could be from one of any number of producers. Other than her crazy "fashion" sense I don't find anything that truely seperates her from other "pop" singers out there.

P!nk is someone else I have a huge amount of respect for.

She was a wayward Philly druggie and dealer that was going nowhere in life. One day she decided to turn her life around and she did. When she was a teenager and her Mom was at work, she had all of the neighborhood kids over and dealt them K. She turned her Mom's house into a K house and kicked the kids out before her Mom got home.

Now, wanting to be different, she learned air stunts, which she does while singing 100% live at every show.

While most of her songs are written by others, they are based on her life experiences and she spends A LOT of time with her writers trying to come up with the perfect song.

One of my favorite performances is also one of her most recent...the Grammy's. It won't let me embed:

Sadly, that is what's required if you want to "make it" today.

Her "vintage" stuff is some of her most amazing ... it also won't get played tens of millions of times on the radio, sell millions of copies or sell out arenas.

That is the audience's fault.

Shes so fuckin annoying

I'm sooooooo sick and tired of watching a bunch of thugs on stage spending at least half their performance yelling " let me here ya say yeah! " while they grab their crotch infecting a generation with the notion that being ghetto is glamorous. I'm really hoping she can change the direction of music.

Given the choice of her or the thugs, I'm going GaGa.

will she be still going in 20years time??? I think not!

I don't understand how it is the audiences fault? If it was that amazing, why was it not selling? There are many many intelligent, articulate, interesting performers/bands out there who don't wear lampshades as head wear. That was her choice, as is her current style of music. As a listener of music, I choose not to listen to hers.

I dont see how you can seriously say thats the audiences fault. Nobody is going to run news stories and gossip columns and drum up hype about a generic lounge singer, no matter how well they play and/or sing. And thats it really.

"Lady Gaga" is a creation with Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta playing the lead role. It's supposed to be art and it's supposed to make money.

Luckily, there are many more choices out there...

If it wasn't for Perez Hilton and his constant promotion Lady Gaga would be nowhere. I wonder if he gets a cut of her sales.

She is a floppy titted no talent. Even mentioning Madonna in comparison is offensive.

I think I figured out why that performance was so "special."

She smiles.

When you're watching the performance, you can almost see the thought forming in her head: "Holy fuck, I'm playing the piano with SIR FUCKING ELTON JOHN while doing a duet of MY song!"

It's the moment she realizes and finally acknowledges to herself that she's a big fucking deal and she cannot help but to drop the Gaga persona and be a happing and beaming Stefani G., just a regular ol' girl that achieved her dream of making it big.

That auditorium was packed with people but for a few moments, as far as she was concerned, there were just two people: her and Elton John.

It's actually pretty powerful and if you're an artist, the best "high" you'll ever get from your drug of choice.

What's it matter?

She's made her mark already, with good financial sense she will be set for life and her music will be archived and go on for as long as music is available.

Now think of ALL the people that aspired to do what she's done and never even came close.

True. Let's chop the last 5 words from my post. Everything else remains the same.

Then again, maybe not. A generic lounge singer could make it big if the audience demanded it. I'm excited by what Susan Boyle did and hope that we'll be seeing a gradual shift from manufactured pop images.

The problem with the Susan Boyle phenomenon is that every record label is looking for the "next Susan Boyle," not realizing that there are many variables that made Susan Boyle into such a success ... her voice was just the icing on the cake.

I'm curious of what you thought of Britney Spears in 1999. I'd bet you called that one wrong, too. Most people gave her two years.

"i won't tell you that i love you,
kiss or hug you,
cause i'm bluffin, with my muffin,
i'm not lying, i'm just stunnin with my love glue gunning,

just like a chick in the casino,
take your bank before i pay you out,
i promise this, promise this,
check this hand, cause i'm marvelous"



If you told me an 8 year old wrote that i would believe you... :Oh crap

I see that too and that's one of the reasons I like her. She's not manufactured by some record company like so many " artists " are. Her performance comes from within and is original. I've always had big aspirations and I like it when someone fulfills theirs. If the girl in the green dress playing the piano had dreamed of one day rockin' the world with her music and later finds herself onstage in front of her peers doing a duet with Elton John I have to giver her respect.

Couldn't agree more. I can't believe people listen to that shit. I hope they all die in a fucking fire.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Agreed! That's why i mentioned Madonna in my oppening post. I read it in the newspaper yesterday and that's what they called her. Unreal what publicity and stupid headgear does for people.

Watch Madonna's "Confessions Tour" dvd recorded in England for a proper show from a real popstar. :thumbsup

she's ugly, but i'd fuck her anyway

yeah that seems like Nora Jones i like them both

Hard to believe its the same person...she sounds great in that video!

But shes not shaking her ass, she doesnt look like an alien and she not singing tinny pop crap, any or all of which is where the money is sadly.

Yeah those are some terrible lyrics... and her popular songs are loaded with head scratching crap like that. If you look at here pre-gaga stuff though you can see that something is there, even in her lyrics.. i guess the masses have spoken as to what makes a song popular though :) unfortunate.

I disagree with everything...She is AMAZING LIVE! I will admit her songs are a bit played ...

and think that tit pic is a bad photochop.

this very thread proves her rise to stardom. controversy breeds attention which breeds people hearing about you. i could take or leave her. my girlfriend loves her. we went to the concert and i actually liked it. but when you get two sides arguing over you and you get to people's core emotions, you drive them to scream to be heard, thus inciting people to create content about you for others to see. and the cycle repeats again.

she went where the money is. sounds smart enough to me.

Ahh, I was going to mention Susan Boyle too. Now I admit, I have not even to this day ever heard her complete song. What I saw was on the newscasts every day for weeks (months possibly?). I never watched that talent show thingy.

Again, it was not only her singing, it was the media. If you can get into the news cycle and potential to get there again, and you dont overly suck, you will be a hit. If Susan Boyle punched out a taxi cab driver tomorrow, it'd be on the AP and Reuters news wires, and all over yahoo and google news and every media outlet that has any ties to western civilization, hehe.

Susan Boyle the singer was singing years and years before that show was on and the world never noticed her. There are youtube clips of her singing beautifully in small rooms and clubs. And yet, nobody had heard of her before she thrust before our faces.

Dude defend her music if you want, but don't defend her horrible tits... :1orglaugh
