Bio 23,538 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 29 minutes ago, Emigrante said: but why is that sad? I don't understand that. She was practically always in character, so I do not get it why it bothers you that she's Joanne now. And duplicity of you all is just amazing. When she was Candy Warhol it was okay, when she was Morgana Devacelli it was okay, when she was Jo Calderone it was perfectly fine. Mary Jane Holland? Great. But Joanne? No! I feel really pity for her that she needs to hide behind a character. This is really unbelieveble. I feel lately like a total psychofan (which I'm totally not) reading all of these threads and defending her. Just enjoy the era. In the beginning with Candy and Jo I thought it was cool 'cause it was something different. But when you make a whole era about doing what you want to do as an artist and as an individual and not hiding behind crazy costumes and stuff but then start presenting yourself as an alter ego again it becomes contradictory. I know it's not off brand for Gaga to contradict herself but I thought this time was gonna be different. Again, I'm not complaining, I'm just analyzing it. Chill.

FinnishGypsy 921 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's a bit silly, in my opinion, to pretend like her having changed her Twitter account means "Lady Gaga" is dead. She reinvents herself for every era, and as she is extremely theatrical, some will always find it overboard/pretentious/cringe-worthy. I'm just surprised that long-time fans are surprised by this. I mean, I think her vision of her musical career is always very long-term goal oriented; encompassing all genres, influences, and styles. So, in 30 years, if we see a picture of Gaga wearing a seashell bikini, we know it's ARTPOP. If we see her with prosthetic horns coming out of her head, we know it's Born This Way. Etc., Etc. Of the latter, by the way, I recall her having stated to Harper's Bazaar at the time that they were not prosthetics, just bones that have always been inside of her, awaiting their chance to reveal who she really was. If there was ever a time to maybe call her pretentious, that arguably would've been the time. But I mean...that's Gaga. Over-the-top, but incomparably amazing and the ultimate visual artist who sees her artistic vision through no matter to what potential detriment of her popularity. Now, if she WASN'T doing anything to markedly distinguish this era from the other equally discrepant eras? THEN I think there might be something to worry about re: "Lady Gaga is gone/done/dead, etc." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
