Okay Cass. While I agree totally that grade-schoolers need better role models than pop-stars, I don't know that Lady Gaga is completely without substance. She's a spectacle, without a doubt, but I think one of the ilk of Madonna, Cher, maybe even the lategreat Janis Joplin... okay... that's a stretch.
But watch this and see what you think...

There's not doubt that she's got some mad vocal skills. And yeah, kudos for having the confidence to be eccentric. i just don't know if maybe it takes away from her music. Regina Spektor is pretty lyrically and stylistically eccentric but there is way less controversy surrounding her and I feel like people take her more seriously.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Gaga's not a bad role model. I mean, she seems to share similar interests to that of grade schoolers:

And hey, probably a lot of her eccentricity is to get people talking. And look, 2 blog posts and a comment later here we are.
