Honestly I would like for Gaga to have a normal role in the future

I agree completely but you've got to realise this is her acting debut and we've only seen the first episode. With every piece of acting work she's done she's going to gain more confidence and thus step out of herself more and gain a wider range of roles. We all know she can act but she is a musician, she's leaving her comfort zone to try something new; She already has a connection to AHS through her love of darkness, it would be stupid not to pick this as her major acting debut and she'll feel more comfortable joining this acting world with a character she can connect to more as her debut character. When she feels like she can really master it and work even harder she can find a wider range of roles.

I will never understand why children like you get so worked up when someone judges gaga for something so small. I even said she was great but it would be nice if she did more different roles in the future. It's not like I said, she should quit acting and only focus on music. I think shes great but I just hope for more different roles in the future. 

Lol why are you getting so defensive? "Children" lol. Please. Let's try and leave out the name calling to avoid looking as immature as you just accused me of being. I just asked a question. And I'm hardly a delusional 'stan', if that's what you're trying to imply.

I just don't understand why certain fans can't just enjoy the ride instead of constantly demanding more. It's obviously an easy first role for her to settle into the acting gig. She's not about to go snatching parts from Meryl Streep or even someone like Jennifer Aniston right away. A role like The Countess makes sense for now for someone like Lady Gaga.

I agree!

I'm not acting defensive  I'm just a man behind a laptop. I am enjoying this ride as its going to propel her even further from her massive appeal in her career this year but I just think as she gets better, she should do something totally different which I'm sure she will. I even stated in a previous post that this is great that shes doing a role similar to her stage brand but I can judge and say it does feel like a lady gaga character but that's because she's in her rookie stage as an actress.

Yes I agree. Many people couldn't differentiate the Countess from Gaga. I also hope that if she continues to do acting, she drops Lady Gaga on her credits and goes by Stefani.

I agree with you. I think its smart she started this way but I jsut dont want her to just stick to her trademark and explore more different roles when she gets better.

Yup and its already in effect, her scripts credit her as Stefani. I'd love to see her do a role where she has long brown hair and plays a regular girl that will make people ask "is that really gaga?"

Yeah I could see her playing a role like the main girl in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I would love Gaga to return next year in AHS but in a completely different role actually.  And with another look. That would be a great challenge for her 

[Ronk 14,762]

I think it would be great for Gaga to do all kinds or rolls in film and tv.  There is talk that she might star in Barbra's movie Gypsy, but nothing announced about that.

don't listen to these people calling you out for your opinion. I agree with you. Any of these people on here calling you out clearly are too wound up and need to stop taking any opinion different from theirs as an insult toward Gaga or themselves. I want more variety from Gaga, like I would have wanted my acting debut to be something different than a s-x scene, it's kind of borderline Kim Kardashian s-x tape, using s-x to get recognized. I want a Sandra Bullock Julia Roberts Erin Brockovich or Miss Congeniality or Blindside performance from Gaga.

It's her first major acting gig, i think it's good for her to start this way. In the future, she should definitely do something more challenging though.

This! Plus I think AHS is a good way for her to start acting. Like nobody would take her serious if she played as a soccer mom for a sitcom. 

[phantasmas 10,503]

If people dont enjoy her role, then whatever.. as long as shes comfortable in said role. And if she does take on a more laid back, normal role, people are only gonna say how predictable it was for her "now that her shock value is gone". (Which is what they already say about her even when all shes doing is grocery shopping in flip flops, lol). 

Theres really no need for Gaga to cater to the GP

One of the best things about AHS is seeing the characters change and evolve massively over the season. Trust me, by the last episode the Countess will be a vulnerable, crying, relatable human. It's what I love about the show, you watch until the end then look back on how massively things have changed for the character.

I definitely think it wasn't too far our of her comfort zone, but she did amazing acting nonetheless. She didn't look like a singer dipping her toe in the acting pool, she looked like an actress - regardless of how "similar" her character is to her real self. If she were to ever do another season of AHS I would love for her/Murphy to perhaps explore the polar opposite of what she's doing now. - sort of similar to Asylum where there was no fancy fashion or sets, it was purely just amazing acting. 

I didn't expect her to do something like that her first time round though, I'm so far very much enjoying her as The Countess
