I am not surprised, especially after the artists she gets compared to. None of them were clean, except Ace Of Base | |

And this is supposed to be bad for Gaga because ???
Please, it ain't like she's telling her fans "do cocaine because I did it", she just admitted to cocaine use for her own merit, not for anyone else's. [Edited 8/8/10 23:58pm] | |

so now she's giving out mixed messages. I remember last year when Barbara Walters asked her about this, Gaga said she used to have a cocaine problem, but that she had stopped all that. Honestly though I can't say I'm suprised about her admission, as she does seem kind of high in some of her interviews and performances. I bet she uses it more often than "a few times a year" too. It's a shame [Edited 8/9/10 0:04am] | |

One of Gaga's biggest influences, David Bowie did cocaine back in the day. Ideas for the albums Low & "Heroes" came about because of it.

Gaga doesn't have to be Madonna when the industry is about to give her Madonna's throne anyway. Just wait for the part when MTV gives her (almost?) all 13 awards at the VMA.
And before you or anyone else remind me about Madonna's torch passing episode with Britney & Christina, don't bother. Those girls are consider damage goods that are no longer effective as pawns.

You know folks are plain rotten when Madonna is considered the equivalent to "class" nowadays | |

Was she asked if she used drugs or did she just volunteer the information?
I saw a Paul Mccartney interview from the 60s where the reporter was badgering him because he had admitted to drug use. Paul's point was that he was asked, and he simply told the truth. The reporter was trying to turn it into an issue about Paul's lack of reponsibility to his fans etc... | |

I agree with Lily Allen's take on this: people shouldn't pretend like they're not doing it, which doesn't help substance abuse problems at all. | |

I thought she mentioned her occasional cocaine use in an earlier interview (Rolling Stone, maybe?).
She used to be an addict, but now she only uses cocaine "a few times a year?" Sounds like a recipe for relapse, especially if times get tough. Hopefully she can keep her shit together. Honey, stop talking and just create the music. | |

Why am I not suprised? Usually in the industry as she is in and as hard working as she is..id expect it. Having had the past experience of cocaine it is like a jolt of energy. And I can understand why entertainers think they need it to focus. Not to say it is good or go do it..and plus it is very dangerous as proven..however ...who did not already predict this? She basically is already the "new madonna" for the kids so this controversy just reminds me of Madonnas nude photos for Playboy era. [Edited 8/9/10 9:12am] Straight Jacket Funk Affair

I wouldn't listen to nobody If I was worried about who doing drugs or not . I don't agree with it but I still like her some of her young fans were saying they lost respect . They hang on to her every word. smh she did say she enjoy ectasy in the rolling stone mag. | |

Nowhere in any of her admissions have I ever interpreted her use as the reason for or even an aid to her climb to fame. | |

I definitely don't endorse illegal drug use, but I don't think most of Gaga's fans are impressionable tweens. I've been to two of her concerts and I didn't see a lot of tweens or even older teenagers there. Most of her fans seemed to be in their twenties and some into their thirties, who seem capable of making their own decisions and probably aren't that influenced. | |

Me either. | |

Yeah Gaga only has a few teen fans, I've seen some of them on Twitter lol some of them creep me a bit. But for the most part, most Gaga fans are over 18 and seem to be cool folks. | |

heres the deal and what people should be thinking about. Parents need to be ther role models, not A-rod or GaGa or Kanye or whomever, that is the serious issue here. Its one thing to be into someones work, be inspired etc....but if you make decisions because of an artist, you need some help, straight up, or you have the lack of guidance and strength in your own self. Now im not saying that its bad if you hear Prince say check this new cd out and you do, thats not an issue, but if you let something like his religious views or GaGa's past, or Lil Waynes jail time rule your day, time to buy yourself a life instead of a cd. These artists are a reflection of the society.

But see this is why I never let artists determine how I should live my life. At the end of the day they're human beings and parents should do more to help kids be their own individuals rather than be so impressionable that they'll imitate who they idolize. | |

yeah i mean when Prince was doing that whole Emancipation "love" soulmate nonsense, i bought into it in my own life, then boom he was divorced under 3 years later, so much for his quote that it would be "forever" so put it this way, every artist that puts out an album says "this one is the best one they have ever done" and thats how you should take everything else they say. I mean i live for the band a-Ha but i know i dont see eye to eye with them on everything they do or believe in their daily lives and im SURE they wouldnt agree with everything i do in life either, so its a trade off.

I knew better @ the Prince thing. It's like "well this is him, I don't have to do it." But yeah no one should go with what the artist says. | |
