Lady Gaga is what happens when you eat too much Lady Marmalade.

She's a pop star who seems to be fully aware of the fact that being a pop star right now is all about image and also seems to be fully in control of that image, to the point where almost all we see of her is performance. In an age where you can find a ton of celebrities on Twitter being accessible and human, god help us, she's an old-fashioned enigmatic famous person. And she's managed this without becoming a sex symbol (sort of) and while displaying actual singing and songwriting talent. This sold me:

But I'm an inveterate fan of really catchy pop music, so.

Agreed. When I saw that video, my first thought was I can wait for the inevitable de-throning of Madonna by Lady Gaga.

The official video of that song reminds you of when you used to watch MTV for the videos.

I agree with both of you! Surreal and playful and ridiculous is vastly preferable to generically inoffensive, in my opinion.

Yes, I want to jump on this train too! Her videos and singles make me roll my eyes but also want to dance, and then these acoustic piano performances make me like her more than I'm comfortable admitting. Sure, she's corny, but I don't understand all the hate. Girl has talent.

For someone who appears to be playing a joke on the world, she seems to take herself very seriously. That's the only thing that kind of bugs me about her.

I love, love, love the Paparazzi video. But then, I just went to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert last night and had an embarrasingly good time. So I wouldn't trust my own judgment.

I hate to say it, but Kelly Osbourne is right.

I didn;t get it either until my friend said, "She's the female Kanye." and I was like Oooooooooooooh, gotcha'.

Cause the same old crap is better with a bow on it.

No, it isn't. You've obviously fallen under Julia's spell.

Throw that kind of $$$ at any American Idol wannabe and you've got Lady Gag - sorry, couldn't afford the last "a".

Forgive me for having one of those moments where teacher's glasses slip down her nose and says "you were expecting GOOD taste in the population?".

Oh I get it...I get that we will be done with her by next year--and the next round of 20 year old power bottoms will wake up from an ectacrazy nite at the clubs and the 2010-11 diva will born.

Not very mysterious, I think. She just wants to take a ride on a "disco stick," get her face poked, and dance. Don't we all?

Was I the only one who got a Ruth Snyder vibe from that mask? Watch out, Gaga, for those seductive corset salesmen.

This is my favorite Lady Gaga video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsezr0qiFIc

Is that ABC overnight? I really miss those apes! Do they still do the temperature index?

TerseNursePornstein

Yes!!!! Looove this show. Some of the old stuff is intact, though I can't remember seeing the index recently.

My Number Is My Address

Those people got me through the 90s in one piece.

TerseNursePornstein

Wow, was it on in the 90s? Guess that's why I didn't remember the name (i.e, not World News Now) or the apes, which I thought that was a Barry Mitchell joke....
