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.

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?

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???)

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.

    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 - "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.
