Steven hit on why I'm not too impressed with the Gaga.

She's not P!nk.

Not being Pink is a big disadvantage for a female performer. She's kind of got the market cornered on frickin' awesome.

Which brings us to your second point, and the subject of another skit on that episode of SNL - her similarity to Madonna. Both dancers (with dancers' bodies). Performers. Showpeople (which sounds funnier than showmen, but I guess it's the right word).

Except Madonna doesn't have tickets to the gun show... she IS the gun show.

She's the freakshow is what she is. Headcases summed it up nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARVbcbxzhyw

She seems like another Gwen Stefani in the sense of pushing the envelope and always doing something different and eye-catching, while still being a mainstream celebrity and being sexy as heck. She'll probably always be "Stefani Lite" to me, though.

Gwen Stefani and an envelope?  She never even TOUCHED an envelope!  There was never an envelope!    ::)

I had a huge discussion with a few friends on Skype on how I think Madonna's getting to be a little too muscular (and thus, becoming more unattractive with age.) This also tied in to the fact with how a lot of female celebrities would look better if they had a little more weight on them.

Honestly, like Steven says, I don't think her next album will be anything like the first. She's already proved from various live performances that she can sing pretty much anything she wants, and it's obvious that she's getting the kind of respect she deserves if she has artists like Marilyn Manson and Madonna collaborating with her.

Although I must say, my head would explode if GaGa and Marilyn or GaGa and Mika collabed.

She did not have sexual relations with that envelope!

(Paper cuts. Yeeow.)

Yeah, it's not officially Lady GaGa, but close enough.

I'm coming to like her very much.

If you listen to her lyrics and watch her design, she's being ironic . . . making fun of show biz.

We're plastic but we still have fun.

She's presently about nine kilometres from my current location (performing at Vector Arena in Auckland).

Me, I'm home playing video games.

A colleague and I were discussing the "meat dress" the other day. We basically concluded that Lady Gaga's reached a sort of tipping point in her career, where eveyone's expecting her to do whacky shit, and nobody really gives a crap any more. "Oh, it's you again. Wearing a dress made from live puppies, I see. Well done. I think I liked the cow skull hat better, though. What else you got?"

I thought it was interesting that she used the meat dress in order to help her cause in targeting Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Basically, as she explained it, she wore the dress as a metaphor explaining that 'we're all meat' and that 'all we are is meat.' I believe she meant to tie that statement in with the fact that most soldiers/armed service members are often considered 'soulless' due to the fact that they sign their lives off to serve their country.

I'm sure that in years to come, when DADT has been consigned to history, Lady Gaga and her meat dress will be recognised for their contribution to the cause. Perhaps there'll be a statue made from baloney.

She should go "normal" or "serious" soon. That will shock people.

I totally love Lady Gaga.  I didn't care at all at first, but after going to enough drag shows it eventually rubbed off on me and now I love her.  I don't know how good her new record is going to be though... not totally sold on "Judas", and I like the video for "Born this Way" and the more I listen to it the more I actually like the song... I think.

I think she might be a little self absorbed and silly sometimes but she's like, a 24 year old HUGE popstar so I guess it's not too surprising.  I think it's cool that she promotes LGBT and service men/women rights and seems to actually care about stuff and isn't just some vapid skank like Brittney Spears or whatever.  She's offering something new different and that's pretty sweet.

All I know is that The Fame rules and if I ever get to see her I'll totally cry and be a big baby the entire time.
