Conspiracy theory....

I'm pretty sure that this berkeleying hideous "Lady Gaga" creature that constantly assaults any number of my senses via TV, radio, interwebs, magazines in the grocery store line, etc., is actually Marilyn Manson post-op. Think about it.

Makes sense. But I find pretty much all pop culture like that easy enough to ignore.

+11 Her/his/hir assault on my ears is not appreciated. Luckily the music industry seems to have the same attention span as a 6 week old Britney Spaniel puppy and nothing stays around long.

Pop music has become like candy bars. Throw out the(w)rappers and there might be some good stuff.

From what I've seen of Lady Gaga, there might not have been any operation required.

It beats Emo bands. But what do I know, I still listen to DJ Easy Rock And Rob Base.

There was a time when female pop icons left no doubt of their origins............

Thanks to South Park, I can no longer hear Poker Face without thinking of Cartman violently belting out the wrong lyrics while playing Rock Band, and therefore trying to stifle the chortlefest that ensues. So thanks, Matt & Trey, for at least helping us make a positive association with some of the ubiquitous pop crap that's constantly shoved down our throats.

Here's a Cartman remix:

Like her music or not... she/he/it actually writes/composes/arranges all his/her/its own music. At least of a few of the songs actually have something to them.

Everything's better with Christopher Walken.

I have to admit, if I heard a Lady gaga song, I wouldn't know it.

And paparazzi is about being a stalker. I hate when the openers leave the radio in back on the "top 40" station

I can't hear Poker Face without singing "My B-B-Butter Face" in my head.

Yep

And, as a business case, I have to hand it to her. She can make a ton of money rather quickly, then head off into anonymity with no one really knowing who she is.

Beats working your ass off for a living.

Now I just have to figure out how to mass produce an inane pop song for money...

Though, the rquiremement for writing/etc your own music would have spelled the death sentence for artists like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra., and also cancelled the careers of writers like Holly Knight.

I was the same way until about a month ago. Once you hear it, though, you realize you've been hearing it all over the damn place.

I recently learned who played guitar for U2 (isn't "The" a funny first name? Must be an Irish thing), and there's this brother-sister band called White Stripe or something. Ya'll should check out the vid "It Might Get Loud."

I have no idea what a gaga song is. I don't think it's in the Clearchannel Classic Rock 100 song collection, which is all they play.

My theory on this conspiracy is that there is one Lady Gaga that is interviewed and a different one that does the dancing. They do not look like the same person to me, even with tons of makeup and costumery to hide it.

She just the 2010 version of madonna.

Just write it. You earn more money if you wrote the song than anything else. Except the evil record labels.

Good, see if you can contact him, and teach him a second chord.

she is a man.

Her music, and others, do seem to be beating down rap a bit, and for that I am grateful. I would much rather have to listen to one of her songs than some wanabe gansta blithering about his hoes and gats...
