What do you think about her? Her style? Music? Tours?


I am not a hater, but I don't like her. There are many gay people who admire her and think she is fighting for gay rights. I think she uses gay people as a fashion accessorize.

There is always to much hype about her and her next projects. It is so annoying when she or her people say her next song or album will be revolution or something groundbreaking. If she likes so much what she does, then she should say I am satisfied, not praising herself, even if she makes crap.


Writing stupid and nonsensical lyrics, is that creative and original? No, but to Rolling Stone magazine and some other critics it is. I wonder how old they are, are they really professional critic?

Her music style, the singing is so annoying. I especially hate when she puts her name into her songs...

Her style... Well she took it from Grace Jones and mixed it with the style of Madonna and other female singers...


She is just an entertainer, good one, but she is not an artist, she is not a good musician.


Her music is mainstream, too generic.


I hate that people called her the new queen of pop. Let's face it, no matter how many hits she will make, if the music is crap then all that is pointless.

Madonna has a lot of hits, but those hits are real music. It has quality and soul. Madonna also is making mainstream and generic music, and that is a bad thing, but she proved she is a music artist through her albums (Like A Prayer, Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Ray Of Light, Music, True Blue, AL and COADF), her videos and tours.

Even her albums like MDNA, which is a mixed bag, is 100 times better than any Gaga's album or any other singer who makes pop music.




I was entirely objective about this. I don't judge a musician if I didn't listen to his/her music. I thought Gaga was cool in the beginning, but after that everything was WTF.

I'm not fan of her music, I don't listen to mainstream. But I like her cos of her support for gay rights. And I never give a fuck about anyone's music tastes. Whether everyone listen to what he\she likes...

I agree she doesn't realize she uses gay guys as accessories. There is thing I call "life network syndrome" all these shows with gay guys doing all sorts of things for the entertainment of straight girls like make-overs, re-decorating, cooking or gossip stuff.
An entire generation of straight girls have been raised on it, I think it's flattering to them to have gay guys as these sort of hangers-on. The problem is it has really affected their view of us in real life and Gaga's whole I'm-the-Queen-of-gay-people complex is, I think, a good example of that.

It's true that because there are only so many gay people to support our favorite stars
there will never be a mainstream star that is supported to that mainstream level by only gay people. We can only have that with someone who has crossover with a larger group of straight people. If a mainstream star targets the gay audience and talks about our issues that's great but Gaga clearly doesn't get that having a straight girl speak out on gay issue's is a compromise, your not supposed to treat it like you've won some sort of prize.

All style no substance. I don't think I could name or hum any one of her tunes.Have to agree also that her co-opting of gays culture smacks as nothing more than a calculated career move.

GaGa is a commercial artist. She's not an original, who breaks through and shows us something new. She's a canny entertainer, who fills a slot.
Madonna created the slot. There was nothing quite like her before. She's aged out of it, and GaGa has it now.
If you think of her as a gay icon, she falls short. If you just enjoy her on the dance floor, she's ok.

Like her or not, theres no denying Lady Gaga is successful. And there is no way anyone could be as successful as she is without some talent.
Certainly she has more than certain bands and singers who dont even write their own songs...
Yes she may be a little 'mainstream' and 'pop' but who said thats a bad thing?
She may be "using" gay people for a career move, but she didnt have to. She could easliy have chosen to be a run of the mill 'straight' pop star. Surely if it were just commercial success she was looking for she couldve appealed to a larger demographic than gay men??

I have to agree that I do love Lady Gaga's music. Although I do love Madonna who has laid down the platform for such artists as Lady Gaga. However, there has never been an artist after Madonna who has taken it to a successful level as she has so to speak. There are some publicity antics that I'm not fond of that she does as well as Madonna, but I've seen her live in concert and she is truly a performer and talented musician. Apparently, I'm not the only one who enjoys her music....just look at her stats over the past few years since she came on the scene. Also, she is not just an artist who can perform one specific genre of music, she can perform other areas of the music genre pretty well.

I am not talking about success. I am talking about music value.

Gaga can have million hit songs, but if her music sucks, then she can't be one of the best female singers, she can one of the most successful singers.

Thats your opinion though, and you're entitled to it.
Personally I think her music is awesome. Its fun, its uplifting and over 64 million people who have bought her music agree with me :)

I like her music and style - and I CAN hum many of her songs.
The way she "uses" her gay fan base - well, give some, take some. Whatever her motivation - the fact that one of the very famous entertainers is vocal and outspoken about gay rights does not hurt - does it?
And please, let's agree that here each of us expresses their own opinion - and thus we are quite subjective - no?

One of these artists I would just wanna say smth negative about them, but then I realize I don't even listen to their music, or only have heard few songs, and that the whole music style is not my favourite etc. Same with Bieber and other singers who seem to divide hugely opinnions. And the reason I would wanna say somenthing negative would just be the fact that their music isn't my cup of tea. I know they are out there doing somenthing, but I think I can live with that quite contently if I really try;) So she's ok:thumbs up:

I love her costumes. It's like watching someone going out for Halloween party.
About her music, I only like her singles from first album. The ones in Born This Way.... not my taste.

I'm more into Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.
