Lady GaGa, upcoming? Options

[creole]

From Wikipedia

GaGa was born on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in New York City, to Italian parents. As a child, she attended the private Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart. Having learned piano by ear at the age of four, GaGa went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mic nights by the age of 14. At the age of seventeen, GaGa was one of twenty people in the world to have gained early admission to the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied music.

GaGa started hanging out downtown, performing in the Lower East Side club scene with bands Mackin Pulsifer and SGBand. Finding herself surrounded by singers who all wrote the same style of music, she decided to do something fresh and provocative in the rock 'n roll underground: pop music. Her entrepreneur father was shocked when GaGa ran off to the Lower East Side to dabble in drugs and appear in burlesque shows at dive bars with drag queens and go-go dancers. "He couldn't look at me for a few months," she admits of her early experimentation. "I was in leather thongs, so it was hard for him — he just didn't understand."

In 2006, she started working with music producer Rob Fusari, with whom she wrote several of her early downtown hits like "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich", "Dirty Ice Cream" and "Disco Heaven". It was when she performed the song "Again, Again" for Fusari that she created the stage name, Lady GaGa, which is a reference to the song "Radio Ga-Ga" by Queen. He started calling her "GaGa" as a nickname around the studio after noticing she evoked the high theatrical stylings of Queen lead vocalist Freddie Mercury while performing.

[hi-C]

She's not exactly upcoming....

[creole]

..?
Maybe?

[hi-C]

I mean, I can't go anywhere without hearing "Just Dance" on the radio. I wouldn't call her upcoming anymore.

[karmakiller]

Just Dance is almost a year old... it annoyed me when I first heard it and it still annoys me now that it's mainstream.

[emberfly]

she sang on like american idol or something a year ago....... or some awards or something.

[sixfive]

lady gaga can suck a dick

[synatribe]

she sang just dance during the 2007 Ms. Universe at mexico

[manny-the-dino]

Yeah I wouldn't call her "upcoming." I think her songs sound too similar. "Just Dance" & "Poker Face" have the same beats.

[creole]

Your coach needs to listen to more music, aha.

[KilluhErick]

:)
i second that

[hi-C]

....what kind of name is that?!?! hmmmm

It's in reference to the song "Radio Gaga" by Queen.

Christina Aguilera > Lady gaga

Too bad Christina is copying Gaga's style.

[dosomethin888]

I really dont think that Christina copied Lady Gaga. Pop is such a generic sound... anyone can do it. And I think people cant criticize Christina's voice.. so they find other things about her to criticize.

But, I love Lady Gaga's CD. Paparrazi, Brown Eyes, and Beautiful,Dirty,Rich are really good songs.

Not music-wise, fashion wise.

[dosomethin888]

^ I guess your right. But she has changed her "look" so many times, what other options does she have? Lol.. homeless look?

I heard her new look is "super hero," not Lady GAGA. But I really could care less what the singers do with their look.. I just like the music.

[dilligrout]

LADY GAGA =]]

pokkkkeeerrrr faceeeeee

[creole]

he can't read my POKERFACE.

[funride]

GaGa is one the sluttiest stars I've seen in a while.
Have you seen her music video for "Pokerface", she is such a hoochie.

[Harp]

But she's hot.

[Amaranthus]

I remember when Just Dance came out like a year ago, and I was so interested in hearing who sang this song. I don't want to say I regret thinking this, but I just wish EVERYONE didn't always request it.
I can't stand Poker Face and most of her other songs, but I like Starstruck and The Fame.

Andshesprettyaswell.

[hypnotique]

everything sounds the same

[none345678]

When I firs heard the song Poker face I thought she was saying f*cker face during the part where she repeats it over and over again. I don't like her, I don't even think shes that pretty either.

[shanaynay]

I don't mind her, she's not bad.

I'd rather hear her than any of beyonce's new shit, thats requested much more for some reason.

[Koizora]

GaGa is one the sluttiest stars I've seen in a while.

I definately agree... She's a slutbag. Haha (sorry for the language). I don't really think she's all that attractive, but she's definately not "ugly." ^_^"

But besides that, I like her songs... My favorites are "The Fame", "I Like It Rough", and "Paparazzi"...

[hi-C]

GaGa is one the sluttiest stars I've seen in a while.
Have you seen her music video for "Pokerface", she is such a hoochie.

And your assumption that she's a slut comes from where?

[KilluhErick]

[karmakiller]

Merged Topics, because we already have a Lady Gaga topic going.

[fainaru]

My 2 cents is that it is the type of artist image she wants to portray herself as. If you have seen any of her interviews, she's definitely into what she does with lots of creative control, so I guess it's just how she wants to market herself as - a risky-sexy-pop look where ... wearing pants don't exist.

[Amaranthus]

Ugh, she needs to keep those shades on.
Her eyes are ugly.

[Deospeon]

Describe her in 2 words.

Slutbag and a Wannabe

[Simba]

I like Lady Gaga

[technicolour]

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick.
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.






I love running to this cd. Haha.

[Joanne]

Most of Lady GaGa's songs sound the same to me, but they're so damn catchy... dammit.

Her music videos are pretty hot too, I'm not gonna lie.

[dosomethin888]

And your assumption that she's a slut comes from where?

HAHA. Your a tard.

Lovegame - "Let's have some fun,
This beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick"

Disco stick = Dick

"I'm on a mission,
And it involves some heavy touchin' yeah.
You've indicated your interest,
I'm educated in sex, yes.
And now I want it bad,
Want it bad."

The Fame - "All we care about is, pornographic girls on film
and body plastic
Give me something, I wanna see television and
hot blondes in odd positions "


Boys, Boys, Boys - "Maybe this time, ill be yours you'll be mine
c-c-c-crazy, get your ass in my bed"
"Lets get lost you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone
Bikini tops, coming o-o-off
"

Not to mention she is basically having an orgy in her "Poker Face" video.

[Joanne]

Yes, so Lady GaGa does sing about sex a lot and her music videos do show her engaging in sexual activities. So what? That only shows that she likes sex and isn't afraid to show it.

Men have songs/MVs exploiting women too. I don't see you calling them pigs. Double standard much?

[Simba]

SHE LIKES SEX AND SHE'S GOOD AT IT

AND SHE'S GOOD AT IT

AND SHE'S GOOD AT IT

when men sleep around they're total studs/pimps/ballers/playas

when women sleep around they're total sluts/whores/hos/hoochies/tinas

Hellllllllllllllloooo. I wasnt calling her a pig. I was answering Hi-C's question.
I love Lady Gaga's music.

[hi-C]

HAHA. Your a tard.

HAHA, insults with bad grammar get you nowhere.

And, fyi, "The Fame" is about the desire for fame, not about being a slut.

SHE LIKES SEX AND SHE'S GOOD AT IT

AND SHE'S GOOD AT IT

AND SHE'S GOOD AT IT

lolz, I had to think about where that came from for a second. Oh, John Mayer.

[dosomethin888]

^ Sorry about the tard remark, that was uncalled for.

But, now you see why people call her a slut or whore.

[technicolour]

It's just one of the double standards of society. We want over-sexed up stuff, but then when someone does sex stuff up, then she's a whore. *shrug*


OMG WHICH JM SONG IS THAT FROM?! Gah. This is going to drive me crazy now.

[dosomethin888]

psshh. I never called her a slut.

I agree with the double-standard thing.

[hi-C]

^ Sorry about the tard remark, that was uncalled for.

But, now you see why people call her a slut or whore.

Not really, but whatever. I think people are overly judgmental, and like Joanne said, there's a total double standard.

It's from a youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAWfvkGMR0s

Too bad Christina is copying Gaga's style.

Ummm she is not copying her style. she has had that hairstyle before if you havnt noticed go and watch "Aint No other man" and you will see her with that hair style just shorter and her music well its not that she is copying its part of her new scenary her last album "back to basics" was like an inspired album of music of the past and for her newer album that comes out this summer '09 its going to be futuristic kind of theme therefore a bit electric pop like lady gaga is into but no she is not copyin' her
am i making sense? cus i bet im not im just saying
cus im a huge Christina fan and also a Lady GaGa fan
and i hate that they compare them they are two diffrent ppl with two diffrent
sense of style and very great at wat they do:)

I was talking about personal style not musical style, and so I present to you photographic evidence, courtesy of Perez Hilton (yeah, I know):







And there's a difference between a 1920's kind of flapper bob and a 1950s/1960s kind of wavy hair with bangs like what she did in the video and what she's doing now. Moreover, in the "Ain't No Other Man" video, it was just one look out of a few just for the video, not a defining, personal hairstyle. Just sayin'.

Same hair colour =/= same hair style. After Lady GaGa got popular, Christina grew her hair out (or stuck in extensions, who knows) and cut her bangs. Her hair in "Ain't No Other Man" was the same platinum blonde, but that was BEFORE she started copying Lady GaGa. Have you not seen "Keeps Getting Better", aka the height of her Lady GaGa'ness?

And I'm pretty sure Carrie only meant CA's style, not her music.


Edit: Damn, Carrie beat me to it.

Though I have to say Christina Aguilera looked really hot at the VMAs.

[simx]

Her songs are catchy but they all sound the same.

[angel-roh]

Love her hairstyle/color.
Love her fashion sense.

LOVE HER SONGS!
I love "SUMMER BOYS" the most.
You know she sounds JUST LIKE Gwen Stefani from that music.

[*BOSS*]
