Poke her face
Lady Gaga has been called the Madonna of this generation. It is obvious that everything she does has a different edge to it. All aspects of her uniqueness from her sexuality to fashion are on the tips of everyone’s tongues. It seems that with time, Gaga continually tries to outdo herself. Now I pose this question: How far is too far?
Lady Gaga’s great fame and success began with her single “Just Dance”. Partiers, bar hoppers and the casual socialites alike gravitated toward the song. When the video was released, her unconventional approach to music was emphasized more than before.
With each new video release, Gaga continued to push the envelope and her fan base continued to grow. Her videos have begun to tell elaborate stories while still straying from the usual. Her single, “Paparazzi” is a perfect example of how far she takes her story telling and music.
Her popularity earned her a performance opportunity on the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. It goes without saying that it was the most memorable performance that year for most people—including myself.
Why she decided to go as far as she did for this performance is beyond me but it was just another step in the ladder of her success.
Finally, her latest new hit, “Bad Romance” is taking the country by storm no differently than her last songs. Her video has once again topped her last ones in the peculiar department.
The question still stands; has Lady Gaga taken her eccentricity too far?
In my opinion, her artistic abilities have yet to falter on her journey to fame and fortune. That is what’s most important to me in music these days. So many artists seems to be untalented and earning millions for it. I mean, let’s be honest for a second:
“I’m hot cause I’m fly
You ain’t cause you not
This is why, this is why
This is why I’m hot”
Thanks for that insight, MIMS.
Lady Gaga at least has meaning behind her music whether it’s apparent to everyone or not. Her recent interview with MTV illustrates it very well.
Are You For Real!?
What do you think of Lady Gaga? Has she gone too far?

I think Lady Gaga is a very talented artist. She has proven that through her music. “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” were both international hits. She was nominated for nine awards at the 2009 MTV Music Awards, which says a lot about her music. Her music videos may be slightly odd but that is her style and that is what makes her unique and memorable. I don’t think she has taken it too far and I think she will be around for a while.
