Feminism is apparently defined as a whack-job clown drawing her own kind to witness her goofiness. Come to think of it....
“But in the main Lilith prized urgent singer-songwriters with readily perceptible left-leaning politics.”
Buddy of mine used to refer to it as “lesbians with guitars”.

Here’s Lady Gaga before she got famous: http://www.mofopolitics.com/2010/01/22/video-lady-gaga-stefani-germanotta-on-boiling-points-2005/
I thought she was kinda hot actually but then I think like 8 out of 10 non-obese women are hot so I’m not very discerning.
Vulgar, but boring.
Lady Gaga is an extravaganza with little point other than the extravaganza. It is entertainment in a pretty pure form, and overwhelming for all of that.
Sure, she abuses every single possible thought, sense, cultural norm, etc. But her POINT is to entertain by overloading your senses with input.
That works. You may not like it if you disconnect some of the components which are purposefully offensive.
But you can’t argue that she fails to entertain.
Think too about the business model you must have in the modern music biz. You cannot make money selling your music; it is all ripped off. So, you have to sell other things, persona, concert tickets, apparel, etc. Music has to be free, and you have to make your money elsewhere, like Paris Hilton; a celebrity who makes money for nothing more than “showing up.”

She is a one trick pony.
It’s Post-Modernism... a catch-all label for amateurish crap. Can’t paint? Call it “Post-Modern Art”. Can’t sculpt. Ditto. Can’t sing or play an instrument and too lazy to learn how? Yep, you got it... Post-Modern “Art”.
Gag ‘ah?
Gaga is sure no Povi.
I’m a 39 year old guy and had never previously heard of a lady gaga. Don’t care about the dirt but she has a great beat.
A few little monsters around here.
The country is going down the tubes. This is the biggest waste of time you can post.
Ga Ga is a great singer/song writer and yes she is outrageous to get noticed, so what?Listen to her unplugged type stuff like Lady GaGa Poker Face Acoustic - BBC Radio 1 Live (HQ) AND she has talent but you don’t have to like it.
Alanis Morissette was the queen of that mid 90's ethos barfing chick rock movement. She landed there because re-invented her act after failing to make it as a bubble gum popper. She's no poster child for authenticity. Pop is style over substance by definition. There are boat loads of super talented female vocalists who are serious about their craft. The Lady GaGas of the world don't lessen the real talent thats out their. You just have to take some time to find it.
I have resisted finding out who Lady Gaga is, although I gather she is some sort of pop singer who dresses in outlandish costumes. Is there any reason I need to know more?
