OMonster 14,213 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 She wasn't talking about herself here, though. She was pretending to be a social media influencer, saying that 'she was so talented' because she could take selfies and pose. It was supposed to be a commentary on how modern-day 'celebrities' seek attention ('paparazzi') and fame for untalented traits, like being able to take a good picture. In the context of the show, I think it was to say that Gaga isn't what people think she is / thought she was - she is not style over substance, despite how she entertains the paparazzi. She is a performer, not a social media influencer. And as for the Vogue interview quote - I don't think there's anything wrong with Gaga saying that she thinks she is one of the best vocalists and performers in the industry when, obviously, it's true. We shouldn't shame people for recognising their talents. It's funny because when someone talented dies, the media and the public praise them to the high heavens - but when an artist is upfront about what they bring to the table, 'we' / the public shame them. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't like that bragging.... but it could've been one of her "characters" that she was "playing" right? Not quite sure what to think of this. It's good to acknowledge that you have talent, but I think it's a bit too much to say "I'm the best" or "one of the best" .. hmmm or is there a story behind that that I don't get? Someone explain Gaga is alwayss alwayss ironic in a way whenever she brags about anything. it’s the satire of hollywood she always carries with her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone explain Big difference between saying 'I'm the best' and 'I'm one of the best'. One is ok to say, the other isn't. Although I think the actual quote was 'I'm one of the greatest' which doesn't sound so good. Maybe she was being funny. Anyway, turns out she really was/is one of the greatest.

MonsterofFame 1,758 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Gaga has acknowledged her talent several times. She corrected Jimmy Kimmel during ASIB era saying "I'm actually much different than Ally. She didn't believe in herself or that she could sing. I always knew I could and was confident in that." There have been other moments where she commented on her talent. But in this Joanne video I'm pretty sure she was being sarcastic. She's talking in a "deadpan" tone and others also mention this was during Paparazzi, which makes sense. Notice how short the video is.. no context. Don't forget that she had a fight for years to prove her talent so people wouldn't write her off as an industry plant pop star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
