Gaga, Rihanna, Bieber, Spears, Usher, Beyonce ... screw them all, they are shitty talentless fake artists for the dumb masses.

All of them are talentless? I'd really only have Britney and Rihanna as the most "talentless". I'm no fan of Bieber but at this point I'm gonna say its too early to completely say so I'll exclude him for now. That being said:

Gaga is a classically trained musician who happens to make pop music because she wanted to be a pop star. Look up her performances with just her and a piano, seriously.

Usher was good up to Confessions then fell off after.

Beyonce is a good singer who tries too hard.

But they're not as "talentless" as you may think.

Gaga and her producer had "lengthy" discussions about Prince and how they (I suppose) were crafting her image to be similar to his....

Mmm.

L. Gaga was on my tv this morning, with an old song of hers:

I still can't get into 'Pokerface', I hear NOTHING when this shit is playing, now please tell is something wrong with me LOL....

Why the hell was that crap such a big hit

the same goes for the rest of her "music", I hear NOTHING.....

Thats because its cluttered with too much bullshit in the music. Thats why i can't really listen to her unless she does the songs acoustically. Lyrically, sure... there's no depth in songs like "pokerface"... and thats kind of the point. Pop songs don't have to have depth, just an interesting and catchy melody. But I'm always entertained in how she flips the songs in an acoustic setting. I would love for her to have a whole album like this:

The HEAT is when someone doesnt hold back. They give there all as an artist.

Ther give there maxium energy

It even can be explain through science

look at the laws of energy

When its cold particles dont move and when theres heat added particles move.

Basically if you want to move people you better bring that HEAT!!

ON FIRE FROM THE INSIDE

visually she's breaking every rule, to the extreme. reminds me of someone we know lol

she can also rock that piana, sing like a giant, and her songs are about much more than the usual 'i love a boy' kindergarten themes.

she's not my cup of tea over-all, but she's way more talented and creative than most in that scene.

she rips the pants off all those bland slow-song 'trying to be cool' indie artists who rely on their hippy clothes to sell their vibe.

i can see why this generation likes her. she dares to be totally different, not just another stereotype, or symbol of mediocrity.

whilst some of her creations border on distortions, she didnt lose my attention for a moment.

she mentioned when she was young she was bullied a lot and some guys and girls even threw her in a dumpster.

good on her for not letting nasty people break her spirit down into a people pleasing artist.

she's gaga and she's honest. not trying to front. just putting it out there.

i can dig that. good luck to her. she's got my vote.

I feel the same way. I'm not a "fan", but I've seen enough to know that the girl is a very talented performer and hardworking outside of the hype machine. She plays the shit out her piano, can sing her ass off , do choreography dressed in what looks like very uncomfortable costuming, LIVE. I find her performances over the top & amusing like Kiss or Alice Cooper. I just wish her music & lyrics were as interesting as her costumes, sets and performances. I hope she evolves out of the repetitive techno-pop. She seems like an interesting bright young lady, I wish her luck too!

Definitely LGG she won´t be a succes in thirty years It´s about a good diversity on aesthetics, sounds, lyrics, charisma, Prince has everything of this and more than an shocking or stunning outfit

Oh wow! This explains why for all these years after being divorced that he still wore a ring there....this calls for another thread "Does Prince Have Tattoos?" LOL!

bang

I don't think it's a tattoo but Andy Allo "wears" the same heart on the same finger (see her facebook page)
