junolxf 8,654 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I was watching this LEGENDARY documentary (do it if you haven't; it's gay history) and during a scene, Dorian Corey, a drag queen, said this "It’s still a fame, it’s a small fame, you take it, you like it, you like the adulation, the applause... it’s a high that won’t hurt you." I immediately connected that to Gaga's Applause, the theme of the song and, of course, the lyric video. This is Dorian Corey during that particular scene: What do you think, guys? Has anyone ever talked about this before?

Sylvanas 5,768 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I actually re-watched Paris is Burning a couple of nights ago, and I thought the same thing. I think a lot of Gaga's earlier stuff came from Ball culture and gay New York culture. "Who are we, if not slaves to this torment?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impostor 4,114 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Wtf I was re watching that yesterday and I thought the same thing. The lyric video for Applause gives me Paris is Burning vibes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 No. Gaga is dressed as a Pierrot, a character from Commedia dell'Arte. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooolong 4,440 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 So, because she's wearing a hair cap and mentioned applause? I doubt it. Nice connection, though. The Unbannable Chanteuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet 1,417 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I would like to think so, but if it were true Gaga would have mentioned it non-stop in interviews Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa 17,476 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 well i'm sure she knows Dorien Corey and probably someone from the Haus thought it looked similar or something but her inicial idea didnt seem to have anything to do with drag culture. 1 hour ago, Kylie Jenner said: I thought you were referring to the Ladyhawke song "Paris Is Burning" OMG i forgot this song, how did i forgot this song THANKS SO MUCH, the instant it started i remembered, such a HIT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
