Look at that ugliness!

aside from Levan's "Bumper"

Moulton's mix of "La Vie En Rose" is gorgeous.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

and Gaga. Seriously, I don't see the difference between any of them beyond Gaga's borrowing from more obscure artist for her fashion. The music is the same trite BS. Same as it ever was.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Get in here!

sosgemini said:

OMG He looked scared

NaughtyKitty said:

You don't know what you're talking about.

Lady Gaga is a hack. A rip-off artist. A pale imitation of the artwork of much, much more talented people.

Lady Gaga deserves no attention.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't tend to be jealous of people with no discernable talent.

you didnt even like paparazzi?

How is GaGa not talented?

1. She WRITES HER OWN MUSIC
2. She CAN PLAY INSTRUMENTS
3. She CAN SING
4. She comes up with ideas to her OWN VIDEOS

Thought I was going to get an interesting photo by the thread title...hopes of Grace Jones throttling Lady Gaga quickly disappeared.

This thread, has helped me get the song "I 'm not perfect, but I am perfect for you". Its so 1986, down to the Keith Haring Art, the most outrageous mullets and bright colour (Electric blue, razzmatazz orange, juicy red and pizazzy pink etc) excesses of the mid-late 80s (I call it Zamboanga colours for some reason, check out the decor too in the movie Outrageous people). That video is hilarious down to the anomymous black dude with the hideous fade mullet, the huge Keith Haring dress thing and Graces weird horned dress zither frame thing she is wearing, and lets not forget the milk bath.
I even watched Vamp, but it was hideous, Grace ripping the heart out of the Asian chick was the best part and the transvestite dance thing in albino make up she did at the start.
Top that Gaga!

Grace Jones is one horrible, ugly man-lookin' woman if ever i saw one. A complete basket case too. Can't sing for shit neither.

She might be playing to the lowest musical denomination but she is talented, no doubt.

Christopher said:

Nope. Her music is boring and unoriginal.

Visually I think Gaga does some interesting things even while she's "borrowing" from other acts, but what's most concerning for me is that her MUSIC is dull.

ViintageJunkiie said:

And she does none of the above particularly well.

"Puh-puh-puh-puh-puh-poker face!"

Oh, yes. That's something to brag about.

I am not impressed when a performer writes their own music if they have nothing to say.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I have heard evidence of her actually being able to play and sing. But she does neither with her public product, so I can't respect that. It's all about style with this bitch, not substance.

Huggiebear said:

Keith Haring was a genius and Grace Jones was equally a genius too. Love that video.

meow85 said:

Well not everyone can come up with lyrics as brilliant as

La,la,la,He,he,hee

Or have the smarts to rhyme robba with job-a.

How does she not have anything to say? What is the exact qualification for a song saying something? Cause to me it seems she says a lot to a lot of folk.

meow85 said:

I understand this argument. Let's just say she's capable and not dismiss her entirely

meow85 said:

Oh, but Grace Jones has TONS to say? GaGa says so much in her songs. Every song may not be super serious, but she doesnt just write silly songs and throw them out there. Each of GaGa's songs has a meaning to it.

ViintageJunkiie said:

The thing is that it wouldn't even matter if her songs (every single one of them) were about superficial or fun subjects. That doesn't mean they don't say something. Music doesn't have to speak to or touch all in order to be "worthy". There is no scale or chart for this.

Wonder how her next album's gonna be...

And sometimes songs can be about nothing and yet speak of freedom and abandon, like many of P's early songs. Things like HEAD and a million other early P songs are pretty much about partying and fuckin but we can identify with them on different levels. It's all about whether you personally enjoy the artist or not. Not about musical merit or substance.
