Lady Gaga needs her own thread

Wanna read something terrible?

The Beatles, for starters.

doubtful, but let's have your example (4 or more singles in a year all markedly different stylistically)?

sequence is different in the US tho (Keep It Together not a single in UK)

Shit just 1966 alone:

"Paperback Writer" / "Rain" · "Yellow Submarine" / "Eleanor Rigby"

How about 1968 these songs are all EXTREMELY different:

"Lady Madonna" / "The Inner Light" · "Hey Jude" / "Revolution"

b-sides don't count!

for the beatles they do

Pretty sure some of those are double A sides.

Bad Romance is easily one of the best pop songs of the 2ks.

she looks pretty good in panties and bra, but I will challenge Gaga to a dance-off with one leg tied behind my back.

I have the same sunglasses as the chick on the right.

So what's all this I've been hearing about some Gaga video where she wears a jacket with GISM and DOOM patches? I have friends who listen to nothing but grindcore and harsh noise who are all pumped about Lady Gaga.

Yeah this just came up in my blog reader - t-shirts taking off Black Flag logo, mock up of Doom's Police Bastard EP etc:

Reminds me of David Beckham in a Crass t-shirt.

Heh looks like the Doom/Black Flag pics were done by someone from the Profance Existence board, v impressive photoshop skills tho!

haha that blog is hilarious

the chick on the right is Lady GaGa's sister

ohokay, cos there was a shot where i thought that WAS gaga, looks a lot like she did in the old clips of her w/ dark hair

yeah exactly, me too

Maluca didn't invent can rollers, lots of Gaga stuff is derivative but come on

I dig this video

i like beyonce and lady gaga together a lot

I liked their dialogues much more than their song and dance routine

I agree that Gaga outclasses Beyonce in this video and I like unperson's idea that this collab was Gaga's idea, sort of her showing the world that Beyonce is two thousand and LATE

lol, apparently MTV banned this video

mtv show videos?

um i watched this video on MTV the other day? and i mean it was the whole thing, bleeped swears and pixellated asses were virtually the only changes i noticed.

People watch MTV?

there exist people?

the AMTV video block every morning is pretty good, kinda what people were demanding for years and years (albeit in a timeslot when only people like me with newborn babies are awake and at home)

Speaking about the 'Telephone' video - which you can see here - Gaga revealed she was inspired by Tarantino when making the clip.

wow, really?

never would have guessed!

i believe they mean she literally got the idea from QT in a conversation she had w/ him

she can't dance, she can't act and she has those cold dead eyes but she has written some great songs (although, i don't think this is one of them). the thing that really irritates me about her is her complete lack of style, only a kind of desperation to have an effect and she's do anything to have some kind of impact. this is her at her most desperate - smoking cigarette shades? it doesn't even make any sense.

she'll

smoking cigarette shades? it doesn't even make any sense.

this is probably going to be my favorite statement of the week

"smoking cigarette shades?"

These are like T. Rex lyrics.

haha

This isn't the first time someone in this thread has tried to make a case for Beyonce being passe while saying Gaga is NEW or really an original, and that's just silly.

Beyonce's always been a touch weird, though, stuff like her outfits in the "Videophone" vid definitely feel like her trying to keep up w/ Gaga (although Gaga trying to sing on that beat and do B's dance moves comes off far worse), but stuff like the robot hand in "Single Ladies" was pre-Gaga

guys, Beyonce had been crazy for years:

yeah kinda O_o abt ppl thinking gaga shows beyonce up as being safe

for one thing, of the phone collabs videophone is a lot weirder than telephone, EVEN THE NAME IS MORE FUTURISTIC

remember when ppl thought she was mentally ill after the video for deja vu?

haha I was about to go there next

like for real, what the hell is going on here

Beyonce has natural idiosyncrasies, while Gaga is, well, probably watching old Warhol films right now and taking notes on her laptop.

oh don't get me wrong, the fact that Beyonce has been crazy for years does not make Lady Gaga any less crazy herself; I'm just saying this isn't a competition, rather it's like attracting like

It does in general seem weird to me, remember when the Gaga antipathy on this board was because she really didn't seem or sound that weird, I mean she arrived onto a pop landscape post britney-chaotic, the chris brown/rihanna nightmare soap opera "Sasha Fierce" etc. Her "art-pop performance" felt so safe next to Britney's meta-meltdown, her narrative so stage-managed compared Rihanna's, her persona the kind of thing Beyonce could do and nobody would really notice. I mean I thought I was towing the ILM concensus line in saying that I only came round to her when I could see past all that, when her (imo) two best singles (paparazzi and bad romance) made me reconsider that Let's dance was in hindsight pretty awesome if you can ignore for one minute all the "subversive intertextuality" or whatever we're calling having a couple of tarantino refs in ur music video this week. But if we're going on the music, she definitely hasn't released anything as strange sounding or, well, awesome, as Single Ladies, Hard or Break the Ice. Like she's a great popstar, and I like what she's bringing to the table, esp the things she says in interviews which are really nice and sweet abt pop music being an enabling and potentially liberating experience, and the way that she has a style that is both flamboyant and outrageous, but also kinda halloween costume-ready is pretty great. It just seems plain wrong to accept her own rhetoric the way I kinda feel like is happening a little on this thread now.

yea the idea of gaga outclassing beyonce is retarded
