Lady Gaga the copycat! - 1 views

  •  
    I found this Facebook page made especially to shoot down lady gaga and show all the ways in that she has 'supposedly' copied other artists images. At face value when looking though the collective photos that people have added to prove so, it is quite astonishing at the resemblances between lady gaga and other artists before her.

Is Lady Gaga a feminist icon? | Music | The Guardian - 0 views

  •  
    The Guardian asked in 2010 if Lady Gaga is "a feminist icon." Kira Cochrane's column answers in the affirmative, noting how Gaga reveals the "sham" of performed femininity, while Hadley Freeman responds briefly that Gaga is nothing more than a copycat.

A Contrarian View of Lady Gaga | Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture - 0 views

  •  
    This can relate to the class discussion on Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' music video and how there is this reversal of the black/white dynamic. This article continues to discuss how Gaga isn't oblivious to her own normativity and how she deliberately plays with her 'whiteness' but in actuality she is then oblivious to to white privilege. Thus the protagonist and in this case Gaga gets the attention while women of colour (beyonce) that are contributing to the redefinition of music and gender performances are marginalised.

    This blog post talks about Lady Gaga's video for "Born this Way."  Horn believes that while Lady Gaga establishes herself as Queen Elizabeth I in the opening of her video, Lady Gaga is an "anti" Queen Elizabeth I because of the gender issues between the two.

Lady Gaga smoking weed on stage - 0 views

  •  
    I posted this article in response to the articles about Miley Cyrus smoking weed on stage. This is Lady Gaga doing the same thing and like Cyrus she is also in Amsterdam. I don't understand what the fuss is about it's legal in the Netherlands so really why bother? These artist never smoke tobacco or drink alcohol on stage and these are legal substances in most places, plus they would impare their performances which fans pay money to see. I would be so annoyed that I payed money to watch an artsist get high on stage and then perform not because its predominately an illegal substance but surely they want to be at their best and their fans want to see them at their best.

    I agree that people may have gone overboard with miley when you compare her to gaga because she has done the exact same thing. I think the reason for this is because people still have this goody-goody, disney image of miley and cannot still tear themselves away to look at her in this new light. Also Gaga never started out the same way as miley so i don't think people really care if she smoked weed or had a drink on stage, therefore i think origins play a big role for the perceptions of people in relation to artists such as miley and gaga.

Lady Gaga's Cultural Thievery - Allie Jones - The Atlantic Wire - 1 views

  •  
    Here is something to consider, are artists today becoming products of cultural thievery? From Madonna to Lady Gaga their use of clothing such as scarfs covering their faces, essentially mimicking certain cultural religions. For instance Lady Gaga's recent fashion statement is reminiscent of the Burka which is religiously worn by Muslim and Islamic females. She even has a song called 'Burqa', whether this is offensive or artistic is yet to be determined. On the other hand younger generations like Miley Cyrus appropriates the black culture and Selena Gomez is inspired by the bindi wearing, arabian dress look. <br /> Are these artists using other cultures for attention and promoting their fame or is it just a gimmick?

▶ Lady Gaga - "Applause" PARODY - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    Kind of late, but I was remembering the conversations we were having after watching the Monster Ball. We talked about Lady Gaga wanting the attention and constantly telling the crowd to cheer and scream for her. I think this parody of her song "Applause" touches on a lot of that and throws a little Madonna in the song as well. And it's pretty funny. Enjoy!
  •  
    This was amazing! I think it is so relevant so the point about authenticity. At first Gaga was considered new, original and exciting but now people have gotten bored of her. Maybe it's because she has lost her authenticity and originality or is it just because people can see through all her make up, clothing and persona, therefore diminishing her as an artist.

Why We Still Are Not Goo Goo For Lady Gaga - 1 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting not only because we have been discussing Lady Gaga as a class but this article was literally posted yesterday stating how Lady Gaga's new song isn't something to brag about and as a culture we will move on once the next shiny object appears... (Perhaps Miley???)

Lady Gaga Said to Fire Her Manager - 1 views

  •  
    Sounds like Lady Gaga isn't too happy with the way things are going with her new album! Lady Gaga fired her manager just days before her album release, which isn't very common among pop stars [this close to such a major event]. It's a pretty big deal; I suggest you all check this out!

Has Lady Gaga Sold Out? - 0 views

  •  
    This article is about Lady Gaga going back on what she "stands" for. It talks about how she now uses her music in commercials, and some argue she's a "sell out." The song used in the commercial, "Applause," kind of goes a long with the theme of this article and questions what Gaga's motves really are.

Lady Gaga Brings Up Adele's Weight In An Interview | Pink is the New Blog - 1 views

  •  
    What was the point in bringing Adele into her body issues? I understand that the press are going to ask her about her weight, but i dont see why she should have to compare her body to that of someone elses to justify her weight gain.
  •  
    What she says makes me angry, I think the reason no one comments on Adeles weight the same as Lady Gaga is because Adele doesn't pose in her underwear so people can see how thin she is and hope they chage their view of her. Adele always says she is who she is love it or hate it which I personally really admire. I saw an interview of Adele where she said her weight and the way she looked was irrelavant to her music and shes not interested in people liking her; its all about the music for Adele. Instead of comparing herself in terms of weight maybe Gaga could compare authenticity and talent which is surely more important.

Is Lady Gaga a man? - 0 views

  •  
    I thought I would post this as it was menitone in class. This is a clip of Lady Gaga at a festival, she gets of the motorbike a shows what appears to be a penis. What do you think was this just a publicity stunt?
  •  
    I thinks it's really interesting that Gaga decided to use the critism against her and make it work for her image.
  •  
    I honestly feel so weird having watched this 5 or 6 times looking for a penis. Honestly, I think it was just her underwear, but even if it was a publicity stunt, it was done in Gaga style.
