lady gaga, jay leno & dave matthews in one issue of Rolling Stone. I'm making a bee line to the newsstand.

pj, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 20:58 (seventeen years ago)

Obviously, Lady Gaga has a more appealing voice, but the attitude, the production, and the silly sexual innuendo seems interchangeable. Either record could have been released by either artist.

1. Lady Ga Ga writes her own material
2. Britney has never written a song

VERY important difference!!!!

Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 20:59 (seventeen years ago)

no it isn't, shut up

1899 Horsey Horseless (HI DERE), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 20:59 (seventeen years ago)

geir stop

let free dom ring (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 20:59 (seventeen years ago)

also percentage of the world that knows that lady gaga writers her own songs and isn't some label controlled robot is probably like 20%

let free dom ring (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:00 (seventeen years ago)

also britney has written a song

surm, Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:01 (seventeen years ago)

I wrote a song, it's called "Geir, Shut the Fuck Up"

Kitchen Paper Towel (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:09 (seventeen years ago)

I hear the lyrics are a little obscure to the uninitiated but the cognoscenti highly satisfying.

what kind of free pass do you mean? a bus pass? a train pass?

1. she doesn't look that bad
2. it doesn't matter what she looks like
3. her music sucks

krots tphns (Curt1s Stephens), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:23 (seventeen years ago)

the articles in that RS are unbelievable.

Jay Leno: THE INTERVIEW.

Anyway, I think people are more positive about LG because she seems largely self-made, while Britney is synthetic and talentless.

it doesn't matter what she looks like

she's basically an art school kid that made it big doing her own thing and comes off as such which is why that crowd goes for it.
whether or not you like her it's stupid to make the aguilera / spears comparison

or use "hipsters" in 2009

but whatever.

rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

Actually, I think Geir has a point because when Britney started, nobody really tried to conceal the fact that she was 100% manufactured... and the Gaga is marketed as the real deal. But real hipsters like Britney anyway, no?

touch my bum / this is life (daavid), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:40 (seventeen years ago)

we live in a strange & different world when the phrase "real deal" is used to describe lady gaga

rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Wednesday, 10 June 2009 21:41 (seventeen years ago)

It's only used because she's not cute.

Her songs still sound like Dr. Luke concoctions anyway, so does it really matter whether she writes them or not?

if you are trying to troll geir you probably want to talk about melody in there somewhere too

The argument that black people do not really appreciate music with actual merit is totally false, you just have to look at the history of black culture and music to see that.

lol I did sound like a arse! but in my defense I was hungover and not really reading the post....not that that is really an excuse urgh.
I liked the argument between the owner of the site and one of the commenters, that was the best part about the article.

My 6 year old cousin just overheard my sister playing Lady Gaga and she came asking her "why does she stutter in all her songs? Does she have a problem?" Never really thought about it but:

Just Dance: Just, j-j-just dance
Pokerface: po-po-po-poker face po-po-poker face
Paparazzi: papa-paparazzi
Bad Romance: Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-Roma-ma-ah! Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Telephone: I am sick and tired of my phone r-ringin.
Future Love: I want a f-f-f-f-future man, I wanna f-fuck you as hard as I can.

Well what do you think, she also stutters on her new single:

Alejandro, Alejandro, Ale-ale-jandro, Ale-ale-jandro.

Moka, Friday, 9 April 2010 00:01 (sixteen years ago)

yea this is a definite trick for her. i think she uses it to break up the pace in the melody. i like it.

Jack White 'Got Quite Into Being Lady Gaga' While Writing New Song

Lady Gaga is a lot of things: songstress, trend-setter, lover of little monsters, and, apparently, an inspiration to White Stripes singer Jack White. He said he thought about how she writes music and "got quite into being Lady Gaga" while writing a track for his band The Dead Weather, called "Sea of Cowards."

Jack said: "I was thinking of the type of song a contemporary musician would write, so I started thinking about Lady Gaga. I started thinking of how she would write the music to this song and got quite into being Lady Gaga in an odd way."

Despite Jack's foray into Lady Gaga musical territory, the rocker insists the group's second album builds on the sound established on their debut, Horehound, which was released last year and was recorded quickly in order to capture the band's energy.

She seems like a fairly decent person (although she did once sue a chef into oblivion for calling herself Lady Aga), but the music is over-produced landfill.

The arc of her album sales is shaped like a soft letter L:
