Quark 7,016 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 o<(0_0)>o To start, Gaga is obviously a popstar. She has been one since her debut. But I think that Gaga is actually the least "pop" popstar there is. The reason I say this is because she has always deviated from what we consider normal or acceptable from a popstar and from pop music in general. For example pop music is supposed to be trendy, generic, catchy, and have relatable themes like love, heartbrake, friendships, and having fun. Popstars are supposed to sound smooth, slick, sexy, sometimes auto tuned, and repetitive. And yet here comes Gaga with catchy but weird music, with underground sounds (Gothic, Mariachi, Complextro, Metal, Middle-eastern, jazz), with strange vocals that range from opera, to screamo, to talking, to just simply sounding crazy and demonic. And then she makes ambitious statements about fame, art, sex, and acceptance. To continue, Gaga then proceeds to deviate greatly from her pop music career and then stars making jazz albums with a 90 year old jazz legend. Another staple of popstars is that they are supposed to be pretty, sexy, conventional, and have perfectly staged productions and choreography sequences. And then here comes Gaga in a bubble dress, in a meat dress, wearing prosthetic horns on her face, and letting someone vomit on her as part of some type of performance art while her guitarists provide heavy metal guitar riffs. So is Gaga a popstar? Yes, she is, just not the kind of popstar that you are used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURUSHITOVSKA 20,439 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I think she is the last "pop star" that is really involved in her whole work and really cares about art. ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabirartfling 9,063 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Apart from her performances and appearence, i consider her music very 'pop' pop music! She is a great musician, knows how to write catchy choruses! The only album which is not very pop, would be btw! Give your love to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghs 3,235 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I don't even know what you mean but 1. i don't think this is a good thing 2. she is one of the popstars at the forefront of pop and i'm certain she is proud of that. Pop music will never be low brown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark 7,016 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just now, caseymonster said: Adele says hi Adele's music is pretty much pop. Her look is pretty much what is safe and mainstream. The only thing she doesn't do is the stage shows. So she is kind of like a Whitney Houston. But still pretty much pop.

Yuuri 21,636 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Lady Gaga isn't a POPstar. She's a star and an artist, trying to clean up after other's messes. And breaking hips/feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homomo 22,716 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 She's someone who has mastered pop, and is now creating her own rules. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The more someone tries to make Gaga an "outside of the box" artist, the more she appears to be trapped in one. If we limit her "group" to say Katy Perry, Britney, Demi etc. then yeah, I suppose you could say she's more experimental with her sound(ish). If you start comparing her to artists that she shares the chart with though... she's nowhere near as experimental as a lot of them. Even an artist like Justin Bieber has evolved his sound further than Gaga has from debut to last release. I've never cared for trying to place Gaga above or below other artists. Enjoy the music or don't, no one cares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
