Funny how you can go on a downward spiral and get MORe money and get MORE famous.

That looks all very natural to me.

You mean like Phil Collins?

FWIW - I don't mind GaGa at all. She seems like a pretty creative person, marketing or not. For that type of music, the tunes are good, and catchy as hell. I'll take her over another faceless pop/dancefloor diva any day.

hah seriously, he has become a "elton john lite" now....

Elton John, even at his Nikita worst, never sold out like Collins did. Which is a pity as Collins is a great drummer and good singer. He redeemed himself a little with the last Genesis album he did, but some of the horrors of his solo career are unspeakable as well as unlistenable. And I don't mean just that Tarzan song either ...

Maybe he was channeling Ray Stevens and Gitarzan:

well put Uwe, Alot of people seem to bash him in the Genesis days too, but the "no reply at all" is a great tune with a great bassline that i cant sot playing.

I like her. She's theater (so it's high-drama- so was Greek Tragedy), and has a nimble, expressive voice. It may be expressing a lot of cheap and easy sentiment in the view of some, but there's a lot of cheapness in the popular culture, across-the-board, to express something about. Anything can get tired, but that's why you can change the channel. I do eventually, but not before I'm intrigued by her first.
And me a die-hard old-school rock-head... Zep, Mountain, old Jeff Beck, Motorhead,...

Just when I thought Madonna was finished for good, her evil clone is unleashed on the world.

Unfortunately its a position to be occupied Doc rather than anything to do with the individual artists themselves

Missionary position...?

drbassman · May 27, 2010, 09:52:41 AM

Definitely prone position.

Put's a "hole" new perspective on the name "GaGa"

drbassman · May 27, 2010, 02:53:40 PM

Is GA GA short for GAG GAG?

I've got no problems with her. Actually think she's a good writer and sings better than most of the other pop chicks (especially Madonna) and plays decent keyboards.

She gigged around NYC clubs in bands paying dues and then some, until she changed her image and found a niche that got her exposure. Brilliant self-marketer.

So, I cannot fault her for getting her break after working at it. At least she's a little twisted.

Let's see how long she lasts though before all the pressure makes her crack and she does a Britney Spears, shaved her head and runs off with a back-up dancer
