Gaga MORE talented than Monae????? ..... I dont think so.

If you honestly think flashy clothing, playing a piano, having an average voice, creating music that was done in the 80's the BEST that is out today than you are smoking shit and need to stop.

Gaga sucks overall to me but her talent is average, Bruno Mars sucks, Alicia Keys is okay even though I find her to be a overrated vocalist, Monae is the best you mentioned out of the four

That's your opinion.

And so is saying that "Lady G is the best female artist of this decade".

Oh, and you're a hater for not agreeing that Monae is the best.

This thread makes LG fans look sad.

I'm not going to argue anyone, this is my opinion. She's fucking talented, get over it.

If she would've played "Purple Rain" instead of Prince, you people would still hate her.

If you people down play this performance, your just a fucking hater.

It's even better when you listen to her explanation of what the song is about that preceded the performance.

If growing up when musical artists were expected to be able to sing passably, write most if not all their songs and/or play AT LEAST one instrument makes me old and has left me biased, then so be it.

So, I don't give her bonus points for doing the basics. I subtract significant points for stealing song hooks, artistic concepts and sex-selling shock value from some very obvious sources. But, hey, this is what Prince got popular doing.

I'm just not impressed by her. But I don't have to be.

And, it's a shame that adults (of particular ages ) on this board and elsewhere get dismissed with a "hater" label. There's sadness on my part that she's held up as a gold standard of contemporary artistry. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, she would have been considered average at best. Maybe she could have opened for Labelle.

And, seeing what she means (mostly to people TylerHippie's age) kind of shows how sharply the music industry and music instruction have declined since my childhood. But folks loving her doesn't affect me anymore than folks' love for Luther Vandross didn't affect me decades ago. She's just another artist who doesn't do it for me. And that's life.

Wait a second, don't put me in this generation. I might be 19 but I'm no fool when it comes to music. Bruno Mars,Janelle Monae, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga and a few other artist is the only people I listen to from this decade. Now all those artist have something in common, talent. I said Lady Gaga is the best of this decade because she's the most talented out of the 4 I named, that's my opinion.

But, it is your generation, man. And, your creating a thread to hype her -- yes, entirely your right. Not knocking your right to praise whomever you wish -- is indicative of this generation, regardless of your other favorites. So, I mean, own it. It's OK. Circle of life and such. Like I said, we're on a site devoted to a man who did a lot of the same antics for notoriety and musical praise in the 1980s.

I'm cool with that.

She is ugly and she over sings. She covers this up by calling it shtick. Really terrible stuff. I'm about convinced it's a form of corporate brainwashing destroying young minds by overloading them with sugar. Lady gaga is the jolt cola of pop music. It tastes good for a sip, maybe a gulp... But if you drink the whole thing you are gonna feel dizzy and maybe vomit or have a seizure.

Um...no. Just, no.

I dont think Gaga is ugly but the pancake as well as outlandish makeup definitly takes away from her natural beauty. She does over sing as well alot.

So we HAVE to like that video and if not we're a hater? Is that the rules now? Every single person who watches that has to like it? Fuck that.

You must be a hater too considering how popular artists like Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Lil Wayne are right now, but you bash the shit out of those 3. Are you a hater?

That pisses me off as well.

It seems as if you bash ANY popular artist out now whether it be Gaga, Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Drake, Bieber etc it seems the problem is YOU or your just a hater.

WHY can't it be some people just simply DONT care for it objectively? Why does someone always have to be a hater or complainer? Its almost like you HAVE to like JUST because its being shoved in your face. Fuck that, I just really never understood that and find it to be very immature.

I'm not a hater, I just support real music.

Music snobbery thread bait.

i agree, except i don't think she is ugly. Maybe a little strange looking. she really isn't that great of singer like people are making her out to be. I also agree that society is being dumbed down and especially the youth.

Best of this decade ah?

Thats a bold statement.

Especially since this decade isn't over until the year 2020

Sure... Just disregard whatever the future is bringing in the next 9 years.

She's aight, don't get me wrong, if she would only jump off that bubblegum pop dance tip....

Mdizzles said:

i'm kind of weird... i hate like 98% of the songs on her albums. i just don't have an ear for that euro/dance/techno-pop that she does... but when its just her and a piano...at that moment, I'm a huge fan. if she did a whole album like that... i'd get it. even if it was just acoustic versions of current songs. to me... they're 100x better that way.

[Edited 7/24/11 1:02am]

I agree her at the piano is her shinging moment. Her dance stuff I could care less. No I don't hate her, but she shined when she was paired with Elton John. When I saw that it really opened my eyes to her singing with piano only. The only time you really hear her voice.

Gaga is talented, but that doesnt change the fact that her music is god awful shitty and I cant get past her weird, over the top antics.

princess superstar kicks her overhyped arse!

But, it is your generation, man. And, your creating a thread to hype her -- yes, entirely your right. Not knocking your right to praise whomever you wish -- is indicative of this generation, regardless of your other favorites. So, I mean, own it. It's OK. Circle of life and such.

*applause* And that's why I at the things pervade this thread when it comes to musical discussion. Especially when it comes to the artists of this generation. Even before it(I am talking about the 90s too).

POOK said:

POOK NOT BIG FAN BUT SHE CAN SING

AND PLAY TOO!

WHY PRINCE FAN HATE HER BECAUSE SHE WEIRD?

Because its her ACT she isnt weird... she tries to hard to get attention.

Janalle Monae is a different breed of female acts today but she isnt an attention whore and she comes off as sincere.

No you're just old school. Our generation is 1981-1995. You and me are Generation Y.

Not if you're 19. That's like saying your generation was Mozart's, just because you listen to his music a lot.

Again, I'm not knocking your favorites or opinions. We all have them.

RIGHT!

Janelle Monae wins in every aspects..but she sells class instead of trash like others...she decided to not use her body to sell even if she's a beautiful girl... I just lost every respect for Alicia after the last song with her husband....
