[La La]

the following are actual quotes from lady gaga

'Some artists want your money so they can buy Range Rovers and diamond bracelets, but I don’t care about that kind of stuff. I want your soul.'

'I love sex. You know, sense memory is a powerful thing. I can give myself an orgasm just by thinking about it.'

 

[Froog]

burn from christina aquilera:

Towards the end of 2008, comparisons were made between the fashion sense of Gaga and American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera, noting similarities in their styling, hair and make-up.[18] Aguilera later claimed she was "completely unaware of this person" and even "didn't know if it [Gaga] is a man or a woman".[

' I can give myself an orgasm just by thinking about it.' lol! i'd be doing that shit all the time then. like on the bus or queueing in lidl or whateva

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

she seems to just speak for the sake of it like the manics used to!

 

[Super Dexta]

I don't really care what she looks like, most of the bands I'm into are not particularly attractive*. She has a deadly singing voice if the piano version of Poker Face is anything to go by, and her choons are, well, CHOONS. totally addicted to Poker Face.



*case in point: I went to see this crowd last night.

 

[platters]

a part of me is sad that kids fall for this kind of euro-trash pop crap

 

[quackster]

i can give myself an orgasm just by thinking about it and rummaging around in my pocket for a while.

 

[sweetoblivion]

She's had serious work done, and her whole image is orchestrated ber her & her management perfectly down to the last T....which is a pity as it masks the fact she actually has talent (although she doesn't seem to have a personality).

It's like she's pretending she can't sing (she doesn't need autotune), can't write, can't play instruments (she can play piano at least).....is that what it's all about these days? Pretending you can't do something to be 'subversive'? Fuck that.

I like the start of that pokerface tune, but the chorus is a total letdown

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

i can give myself an orgasm just by thinking about it while washing my willy.

 

[Super Dexta]

I like the start of that pokerface tune, but the chorus is a total letdown

what are your feelings on the middle eight?

 

[lympog]

i love that she was grown from a test tube and built to meet the popstar 5000's ever present set of meticulous specifications










leigh

 

[Lili Marlene]

I didn't like her at first until I saw that performance on American Idol and realised she's actually quite deadly and doesn't need autotune except to maybe annoy people

also Pokerface reminds me of Boney M

Ma Ma Ma Ma

[ernesto]

you reckon? pull the hair away from her face and i'm not so sure

i can't stand her, she's everywhere. IN HER UNDIES.

also this viewpoint.

After she sings the "can't read my, Can't read my, no you can't read my Pokerface" bit I can't help hearing the backing singing as "Come on Barbie, Let's go party" It's wrecking my head.

Katy Brand 0, Lady Gaga 1 Story filed Friday, 11 September 2009

When we heard that comedian Katy Brand was back with a new TV series we weren't surprised to hear that she would be 'lampooning' Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is an artist who very quickly transcended musician or simple popstar status and is now simply a part of mass pop culture, meaning that she is a perfect subject for someone like Brand whose gags play on recognition as much as (or more than) actual jokes.

Here's the clip. It's an amusing (WARNING: NOT AMUSING) parody of 'Just Dance', and it's called 'No Pants'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1bLNRCo7_Y

Those lyrics, if you missed them:
I'm in the papers far too much
You're wondering why there's all this fuss
An underdressed little blonde
Singing this dumb little song
Haven't we seen all this before

I'm Number One in the download charts
You bought this record but you can't remember why any more
Keep asking how
This lady's so big
Then you remember it's because I'm wearing no pants


We've mentioned this briefly before in relation to something in Katy's last series, but while one shouldn't expect a female comedian to be all about 'consciousness' simply because she is female, it sometimes seems slightly peculiar that someone who made her way through the notoriously male-skewed comedy world should be quite so bold in her quest to devalue females in another, again quite female-unfriendly industry. Does Katy Brand really think that Lady Gaga really only scored an international Number One single with 'Just Dance', then went on to follow it up with millions of further record sales in a variety of territories, simply by wearing no pants? Brand cannot actually think this or the logic of parodying the song, its melody, its structure, its production and its lyrics simply collapses. In parodying the song Katy Brand admits that it is memorable and that Lady Gaga's success is not, in fact, simply down to wearing 'no pants'. As for the snotty 'underdressed little blonde' with a 'dumb song' commentary - well, if Brand is hoping to point out that Lady Gaga is somehow stupid, she might want to steer clear of jokes about toilets and pooing. Quick pointer: if you're going to call someone stupid, make sure you're not more stupid than they are.

The other point is that Katy Brand saying 'havern't we seen this all before' puts her on slightly thin ice, because the answer is well yes we have - when French & Saunders did it, when Smack The Pony did it, when almost every other comedian with a sketch show did it. Parodies and pastiches work best when they are executed by people who are obsessed with and even deeply passionate about the subject matter. The most vicious satire can often come from a sneaking admiration, or at least appreciation, of what's being torn to bits. The danger with picking targets you don't really know anything about as they drift in and out of your peripheral vision - as Katy Brand seems to with every one of her amusing 'parodies' - is that you get things wrong, and you look like a prick. That's how you end up with something like this Lady Gaga pastiche, which accompanies a claim that Gaga is "just europop" with this image.

And you think, 'well, if you knew what you were talking about you'd know how to spell Whigfield's name'. We believe that is what Persons Of The Internet might term a 'fail'.

There are moments when Brand gets it right - Gaga is, of course, actually influenced by European pop, since Space Cowboy and RedOne are both from Europe and a lot of her influences are British, but she's not europop. And there is truth in the assertion that Lady Gaga grabbed a lot of attention when, during Britain's biggest snowfall in years, she went out and about in London wearing clothes most women reserve for aerobics. But you cannot help but feel - perhaps this is uncharitable - that Brand is so lollingly moronic in her world view, that she knows her subject so little, and that she pursues easy gags so blindly, that she simply got those points right by accident. If you throw enough shit at the wall some of it's going to stick, and when it's Katy Brand there's a whole lot of shit.

I like just dance. I think it's the outfits that make her kind of hot.

Thanks to Madonna, most new female pop stars have to be willing basically to do soft porn. (which is fine) With the american acts (christina aguleria, pussy cat dolls, beyonco, britney) the whole sexy thing is so OTT and forced that it becomes ridiculous, and not really sexy at all. They try way to hard, but I suppose they're thinking about the clothing ranges and fragrances all the grinding will bring....so grind with all your might.

 

[BernardDude]

I think Lady GaGa is a tuneless boot.
