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:

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

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

i believe they mean she literally got the idea from QT in a conversation she had w/ him
― some dude, Monday, 15 March 2010 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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.
― Cunga, Monday, 15 March 2010 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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

Beyonce has natural idiosyncrasies, while Gaga is, well, probably watching old Warhol films right now and taking notes on her laptop.
― Cunga, Monday, 15 March 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― big (surm), Monday, 15 March 2010 16:40 (fourteen years ago) link
I always thought she was crazy and a decent singer, and I really liked "Let's Dance" when it first came out except for the dumb-as-balls bridge; she lost me with "Poker Face" but got me back with "Lovegame". I think it's only recently that she's been able to get away with being totally as weird as she wants to be, starting with how fascinated everyone was with the "Paparazzi" video and her thinking "oh good, this WON'T hurt my sales if I just act really weird and arty, I can finally do a video in lace panties with tape on my nipples".

the only thing i agree with her is that Break the Ice can kick any song's ass.
The whole thing about gaga is that her composition treads the line between weird and incredibly poppy more than most. and it's odd that you like her interviews, plax, which are sadly full of shit - i don't think anyone here is "accepting her rhetoric" as much as groaning to admit that she's got a fuckload of talent.
― big (surm), Monday, 15 March 2010 16:44 (fourteen years ago) link
*agree with here
I still think it's weird that people hate "Telephone" so much, tbh.

i actually disagree with this whole post. i think she dances well enough for her videos, i think her cold, dead style of acting is appropriate for the music and her style, which i think she has a lot of, however stupid it may seem at times.

"hard" isn't in nearly the same league as "single ladies" or "bad romance" or those other songs you mentioned. otherwise dope post plax
― k3vin k., Monday, 15 March 2010 16:49 (fourteen years ago) link
i think i pretty much agree 100% with your take on her surm, but I saw a clip of her on Jonathan Ross, and she was talking abt how her shows are really extravagant, but that at the end of it she really just wanted the spectacle to be a catalyst for coming to the show and meeting other ppl, that she was kindof initiating a scene more than being the focal point for one. I mean you can say its horseshit, but its a nice idea nonetheless, and it kinda resonates with the amt of gay teens i saw that dressed up as her for halloween last year. I mean her message is a positive one, just not a partic radical one.
