Hot Space 14 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Gaga worked so hard to get to where she is, and in my opinion, the music has always been her top priority. To be a music legend, you have to entertain, but you also have to have talent. If the music is crap, no one is going to care about you 10 years down the road. Gaga has proven time and time again that she has the talent to back it up. I can't believe an article like this is being written about her in 2012.

MelbHawker 6,583 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 They clearly don't understand Lady GaGa if they believe in what they wrote. So delusional. Music does come to mind where Lady GaGa is discussed. For me it's all I talk about when GaGa is mentioned. Of course her outfits, her theatrics etc. are mentioned because it's a branch of her artistry. It's an element of what she is as an artist. Clearly the writer of this article hasn't done their research; just sold out to the stereotype of what she has become to those unwilling to actually try and understand her and her music; to those who can't look past the theatre in her. No time for these people. I'd love it if GaGa were to read this and write an essay back to them putting them into their place. Idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusel 1,085 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 They act like Gaga made a YT video and got famous for nothing They should go to her concert and they'll see that she's not just the art of fame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
00000000 1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 she ob wants to make music, take this article with a grain of salt because it's a mess. with that being said, if everyone were to think like this article then Michael Jackson, Madonna, Boy George, Elton John, David Bowie aren't artists too. it's like people are obsessed with trying to discredit her. it's such a tired trend. :nails: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E24187 614 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 This reads like another article written by baby boomers and gen Xers pissed that rock music isn't dominating any more. Gaga DOES need to focus on the music though. So far she's been focusing on the videos, themes, and messages. This was why I was slightly disappointed to hear her next record was dance/pop. Just make good music with hot melodies and profound (not to be confused with obscene) lyrics. Half of the success of Bad Romance was the video, not because the song itself was so astounding. She has become very much a visual artist. That wouldn't be a bad thing in and of itself but the vast majority of her catalogue relies on how we view her and not how we listen to her.

HausOfMark 4,167 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why do I agree with them somehow? I mean only in terms of how the public thinks of her, not the fans. We know how an amazing artist she is, but the public will always think of her as the crazy pop girl who needs attention. this. alot of people hate her because she just is "crazy" and a true artist would wear all of this stuff to overcreate the music. i dont think that. i am addicted to gaga. but alot of people this this. ^^ -Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo 8 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why is a news channel reporting an opinion :coffee: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusel 1,085 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In order to promote your music today an artist has to use the Internet, he has to have good videos, he has to have a marketing team, that's how the 21st century works? You won't spread your music if you only play your songs on the street There's too much competition today. And btw you know why Gaga's fashion & videos sometimes overshadow her music? Because public doesn't care about the music. It's not Gaga's fault, she is the complete package and public decides what they take out of that package.

boysboysboys 278 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Why is a news channel reporting an opinion THIS. What is wrong with CNN. Thankfully the commenters mostly disagree with the writer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack 15 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 If this was about ANY OTHER artist that's in the industry right now, I would agree. But Gaga was the WORST example she could get, you don't need to be a fan to see that Gaga's here for the music, not for the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo 3,000 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I really wish more people would take the time to look beyond Poker Face and the meat dress and controversy to see Gaga as she is. An artist. Period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toanythingtaboo 5 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Bored of the simple minded thinking that emphasis on imagery automatically detracts from musical substance. Lady Gaga is living, breathing pop culture and intentionally so. She is just as much about the visuals and entertainment as she is about the music, which is popstar 101 and absolutely nothing new. When one thinks of Michael Jackson and Madonna, do you seriously conjure up nothing but music? Of course not. You think of moonwalking, vogueing, their videos, their iconic looks. It's no different with Gaga. You immediately think of the iconic looks and stunts, but everyone knows her hits too. Let's not pretend otherwise. As for denying that she is an artist, I think they should really assess their definition of the word because they are clearly misinformed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
