lady gaga's new 'madre monstere'? (edit: scheiße)



let's be clear, i could not give 2 fucks about lady gaga.  i just want to take an early opportunity to say that this style, even melody, of song is nothing new, and i will fret so much when comes out on her next album and everyone is all "oh em gee, once again queen gaga is pushing the boundaries of music, lol send text." if she was really trying to come off as a genuine artist, she would collaborate with the people who do heavy industrial house music and work to make it more accessible to her fans/dumb americans without taking out any integrity to either parties' work.  instead she borrows, makes it droll and uninteresting to anyone with a good ear, and will most likely push it off as something so different and unusual (as demonstrated by this video).

if you've ever been to a fashion show or just watched one on youtube, you would know that this sort of song is really really average.  not to mention that the skeleton tattooed guy is a ploy to overcompensate for the designer's work (which is why i haven't mentioned anything about the designer or why the video was made).  I have nothing against the skeleman, he looks pretty cool and works those pearls really well in the video.

of course, the song is supposed to be different when it comes out and it probably won't be all straight-from-the-runway, but i am dreading the fluff to come about this and probably a few of her other upcoming songs.  also, don't get me wrong.  i would love to hear this on the radio if i ever have to listen to the radio.  it's just nothing to gawk at.

footnote:  i looked over to see that the princess diaries is on and noticed that even though there are loud speakers yelling at people in multiple languages to stay off of the grass, the grass itself has some huge patches of brown and isn't even that great.  perhaps that is the joke, no?

i actually don't mind her works. it's not ground breaking but it's pop and gaga doesn't try to gloss over the fact that it is simply just that.

Chris said...

Gaga, to be reality, is quite a piece of work in the sense that she does whatever she pleases (attention seeking or not) and not give too much of a fuck to what people says.

Lady Gaga seems to operate in her own reality.

sorry if you already got the info, i'm just trying to make it work well.

also, i apologize if i reposted my blog in your comments and you're already following. the two separate photos for your blogger profile and your actual blog photo is still a bit confusing.

i just hope nobody is too annoyed!

this music was obviously done just for the purpose of the fashion show, so I wouldn't compare it with her own music work, which is great, not so much for the lyrics but for her great compositions and the high level of production.
What makes Gaga so special and innovative isn't her music but the message she sends - she made a whole revolution stating that being different is good, that if you look like a freak you don't have to feel like a freak, that being different is a quality not a fault.
Some people can choose to view her work in a superficial way,but she did manage to do some very profound things, and her mission has boosted the self esteem of thousands of insecure teenagers and people around the world. That's why she is such a great artist especially in today's world of talentless, screaming pop stars like Rihanna, Kati Perry and Kesha.

I love Lady Gaga! She's freaky and weird but I think that's hot...

AOG said...

I have to say, the video is rather cool. I like the combination of death, art, and adroit masculinity.

The song, well, a remix, and like all remixes, it has a lot of acoustic photoshop in it. Could be better, could be worse.

Do people really think Gaga is all that groundbreaking?

I think she certainly has something which Madonna might have lost a while back, a kind of energy, but talent wise, they are pretty well matched.

Of course, if I, or anyone else, had a recording company behind them, and access to millions to make music and videos, I'd be making these sort of videos too.

All you need is some talent, and money to pay for it. No magic formula, right?


I like your blog.

Lady Gaga's just freaky and weird because she makes tons of money being that way. I'd bet she would act super normal if that was where the money was.

I actually like Lady Gaga quite a bit, although that remix sucks, just dull and repetitive. She's actually pretty clever with her fashion statements tho, I remember a lot of people lol'ing about her rhinestone lobster headress, but as a huge Salvador Dali fan, I appreciated that she was referencing his 'lobster on the head' symbolism, which means a person is being eavesdropped upon. It's little things like that that impress me most about her.
