Anyone else whose favorite Gaga moments are the ones everyone else hates?

[BricksNStrings 231]

Of course, I love Paparazzi at the VMAs, the Bad Romance video, and the Sound of Music at the Academy Awards, but other than those, my favorite moments in Gaga's career seem to have been the ones (almost) everyone else in the fanbase (at least here) hates with a fiery passion:

 

- Swine + Vomit performance at SXSW

- Americano production and lyrics

- You and I by Jo Calderone

-  Alejandro music video

- Marry the Night music video

- Gaga wearing the burqa

- Dope and its performances

- G.U.Y. video (especially the ARTPOP segment)

- Born This Way album artwork

- Judas lyrics and controversy

It's so weird, because every time Gaga puts out something, I'm always shocked when fans hate it. I completely understand hating things that are underwhelming...but I've never understood the hatred towards the more polarizing/intense/shocking/crazy things Gaga has done, because those sort of things are the things she has built a career upon doing. Yes she has talent to back it up and yes she has catchy pop hits, but there are lots of amazing singers and lots of great popstars. What set Gaga apart was her fierce dedication to the unexpected.

Of course, you don't have to agree with all of these, but does anyone else feel similar, and find that your favorite Gaga songs/performances/videos are the ones everyone else seems to hate?

Me, i sometimes find myself hating things this fanbase love, it's like my hate for Bad Romance and everybody loves it :air: i also hate Hair, i love Marry the Night video, i loved Machete Kills, i hated G.U.Y., MJH & ARTPOP song but i loved Jewels n Drugs... and stuff like that

I don't hate anything she does or has done and I only dislike (only because they weren't my cup of tea) maybe 2 of the things you listed. 

[Chic 20,830]

Well, you've sort of answered your own question. You labeled the more exciting things she's done as polarizing, meaning some people can love them and some people can hate them.

Yeah look at my avi

[FGGrayson 9,670]

[PerfectMonster 203]

I like everything besides Americano and I'm not sure how I feel about Gaga wearing the burqa, it does feel a little wrong to me.

[Thomas P 18,479]

every thing everyone else hates in gaga are the things I love most

[LaMaisonGaga 23,884]

I love and adore all of them except Americano and the Jo Calderone performance yes

[Sister 9,907]

I LOVE the Alejandro video, everything entirely about it.

[Manul 7,377]

I don't get why people hate on Dope. Its the most precious song on ARTPOP and the best in production quality.

I absolutely despise Poker Face, Just Dance and any Fame track that isn't Paparazzi, LoveGame or Brown Eyes

I also love Americano, HU(RtL), BM and You & I while I dislike Judas and BTW. 

[Mister Gaga 22,946]

I love her entire career tbh 

[Bad Bromance 5,809]

I love her entire career tbh 

Same here.  I am in love with Gaga's angelic, yet powerful voice as well as her artistry.
