Some may think "Oh no, give her a few years, then maybe she's worthy.", and I disagree with that statement 100%. Celebrity life is NOT easy, and whether or not you choose to take my word for it, Gaga's career was NOT handed to her on a silver platter.
She is a creative mind and an INCREDIBLY strong person to put up with what she has - all the backlash of nay-sayers, haters, and people flat out against Gaga - and still keeps doing what she does with her head held high. She's even ADDRESSED her dislikers time to time simply saying "It's no big deal if you don't like me." rather than insulting them. Not everyone can do that.
Many just lump her in with Justin Bieber and mark them both as undeserving celebrities... don't. You can't compare the two - she worked, he didn't. She's got talent, he doesn't. She DESERVES the benefits she's gotten... and you guessed it, he doesn't.
All I'm saying is don't judge a book by its cover. Don't be so quick to judge Lady Gaga. Just because you personally don't like her doesn't mean she has no talent.
I've never thought of Lady Gaga as bad, but her talent being heralded is a slap in the face to the more talented artists. Her music wouldn't come off as generic if she she incorporated more. All together, the final piece *seems* different, but dissect the actual tract, and it's all incredibly generic pieces of music taken from different genre's. The techno is generic, the voice is auto-tuned to hell (generic), and the rhythm doesn't divert towards anything unique. Nothing I haven't already heard is in that track.
She sucks? Really? Then how, I wonder, did she become an icon so quickly? How, I wonder, has she inspired others and given hope to the little guys and girls who don't fit the mold society's built for them?
Sure, she is different. Different, odd, weird, abnormal, even crazy and rebellious. I never addressed that nor am I denying it, it's perfectly true. So what? It's not a bad thing.
I'll tell you one thing: like it or not, she is a bloody GENIUS. Oh I won't praise her up and down on everything - I don't like all of her songs. I am such a fan of Gaga simply because of who she is - a sweetheart, a wild one, sensitive and sexual at the same time. But more than that, she has embraced what she has and utilized everything - EVERYTHING - to her benefit and made it WORK.
But I gave her another chance and, while I didn't much care for some things she did like the Kermit suit or the green leotard she wore once, when I listened to more songs and watched more videos, I became more interested. And after reading up on her as time went by, I realized she really does work hard for what she's got, and I admire her. Not only for her music and appearance, but just for her. She really is a sweetheart in person, and even a genius when it comes to the media.
Needless to say I'm proud to be a little monster now. Lol.
While Gaga I will admit, doesn't make every song of hers a masterpiece and has her own flaws too, has not only got the talent and became a hit at the pique of her life, but has the talent to back it up. Even if she couldn't make it as a singer or if something happened to her voice, with her creative mind, she could still hang on to her fame as a visual artist.
She attended the same school as the hiltons and the kennedys! She had good friends, good money and good connections. I have no problem with any of this - but to claim that is was HARD for her is just daft!
What is wrong with this world?
NOT Lady "Gimmick" Gaga
