she has street cred to put it one way, as opposed to brit or xtina

How can she? No performer who has reached the mainstream can have street cred. When you get to the mainstream, that's when you lose all
credibility.

i don't even know what to make of this thread. but i'll offer up this:

i work with a hipster girl. she's like a cartoon character of what you'd think a hipster would be like & today she was talking about a guy she's into when she uttered the following sentence, "He doesn't listen to radio stuff like Britney & Lady Gaga, so that's a plus."

excellent fieldwork there!

i think to prove or disprove this thread's premise we need to find out how A-Trak felt when he found out Kanye is going to tour with LG

If you're over 17 and care about "street cred" -- especially to the point of using it as criteria for whether or not you'll allow to like certain things -- that is just sad.

Particularly if that "thing" is a person, i agree. This girl is 25 & has a child, btw. Her #1 reason for liking the guy is that he likes Ghostland Observatory.

myndbloom, Friday, 12 June 2009 13:41 (fourteen years ago) link

It is really messed up that she would like this band if she is a mother of a child. They look like total chesters.

lady gaga gets a free pass from hipsters and britney spears doesn't because "poker face" and "just dance" are much much better songs (and better suited for the dancefloor, which is key) than fucking "hit me baby one more time" which is music for ten-year-olds.

plus, lady gaga sings about fucking all the time!! (even if she's really really ugly in real life)

She's awesome. She's a perpendicular force to most musicians, where the music is the art and the personal appearance is inconsequential. With her, the music is just a footnote on her interviews, her outfits, everything else. I'd never go to see her perform but I'd buy an US Magazine if they were interviewing her.

I think she's a horizontal force.

She's just grabbing the Bowie Androgynous pop star template and taking it to its logical extreme.

He must be mad jealous.

From now on I'm removing passes from any pop sensation that isn't born with both male & female genital organs.

Pop Music is the third sex.

Lady Gaga's all woman.

That's what her manager's asserting after an up-skirt photo of the pop star sparked rumors that she's a hermaphrodite. The photo, taken from video shot at England's Glastonbury festival, reveals a bulge between Gaga's legs -- a bulge that could have been caused by undergarments, a bad angle, or, as some blogs would have you believe, a penis.

Bossip.com alleged that Gaga said this when asked about the subject:

"It's not something that I'm ashamed of, just isn't something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female. It's just a little bit of a penis and really doesn't interfere much with my life. The reason I haven't talked about it is that it's not a big deal to me. Like come on. It's not like we all go around talking about our v***. I think this is a great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable with their bodies. I'm sexy, I'm hot. I have both a **** and a p*****. Big f******g deal."

ABCNews.com asked Gaga's manager if the "Poker Face" singer is a hermaphrodite and if she said the above quote. His reply:

"This is completely ridiculous."

Gaga's sexuality has been the subject of intense speculation ever since she told Rolling Stone magazine that she considers herself bisexual, though her attraction to women is purely physical.

"I think I'm changing what people think is sexy," she told the magazine in May.

In June, she elaborated on the issue to USA Today, saying, "I don't think being gay or being bisexual or being sexually free is anything that should be hidden. Everybody has a right to their secrecy, of course, but I don't feel particularly shy about it. It is who I am. I sing very openly about it in my music, so I suppose I could say that I choose not to hide it in interviews because I don't care to hide it and, two, because it is very obvious in my music that I like women."

But apparently, that doesn't mean she's toting a disco stick of her own. Consider the Glastonbury festival photo a wardrobe malfunction, not a coming out.
