Lady Gaga got a tattoo in honour of her fans yesterday and oh who even gives a shit at this point. It's not that I don't like Lady Gaga; On the contrary, I'm the half of this site who begrudgingly listens to and enjoys Lady Gaga. It's just that, well, Lady Gaga is the Sarah Palin of pop music. To paraphrase Jon Stewart here, it's not that she's a crazy lady who wears weird clothes and makes catchy music. Hell, I like her for that. It's the fact that once you strip away the outlandish get-ups and the quirky little sayings, there's nothing there. She can talk about fame and celebrity and fashion all she wants, but when it comes down to it, she's not saying anything. She's just someone who changes her look and sound to fit with whatever's popular at the time; she tries so hard to be something that she ends up being nothing. Which is a shame really, because I thought The Fame Monster was brilliant. But whatever, point is, Lady Gaga either needs to shit or get off the pot already.
Gotta agree. I really want to love Lady Gaga. Who doesn't love slightly industrial pop songs about rough sex in leather? The problem is that she as a person is so bland and useless and it detracts from the whole experience.
