ReidOne 12,427 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Whether this look has anything to do with Kylie Minogue -- who knows! But I do think it's important to note that Gaga admittedly replicates the looks/styles/sounds of all the pop acts who have come before her. She's been doing this since day 1 with the David Bowie lightning bolt on her face and the Grace Jones hoods. And clearly making no attempt to "fool" anyone... she obviously wants the inspiration to be recognizable. I believe Gaga does this for many reasons, partially as an homage to these artists, but most importantly as "reference points" to all the greats who have done pop music before her. She's pointing us (her fans) toward the past so that we better understand the evolution of popular culture, music and entertainment. Her entire career has been like a living pop music history lesson, in many regards. Which is an art form in itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGYOOMH was exceptionally huge but that doesn't mean other singles weren't hits, minor or less minor who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was huge in the UK, Europe, Australia and Asia and still is known as a huge pop entity there, even if she has been flopping lately. Sooooo just because she didn't chart in the US doesn't make her a floppy artist sis who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a fan, you should know that your statement is a LIE. EVEN when talking about her US hits. She has TWO top ten hits. That's more than one, hunty. 22 minutes ago, venusian said: thats not good lmao I see you trying to act like Kylie Minogue is irrelevant, like when you said that Kylie couldn't be a pop princess anymore because "nobody knows her anymore" or some sh¡t. Lemme just expose your US-centric self because Kylie is an INTERNATIONAL superstar with MANY hits to her name (check one of Spock's posts). Why are you trying to invalidate Kylie's success all of a sudden? What did she do to you? I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand.

It's 50/50... But it's that glossy cherry red lip that makes me go, "hmmmm..." There's no die-hard Kylie fan in the world who could see this selfie and not think about Kylie! But isn't that the fun of Gaga? Dissecting and pondering her inspiration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
