pinkstones Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Lady Gaga was much more interesting back when she was calling herself Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberal Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 She is an heir to her. But certainly not totally the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Everything Lady Gaga has done, Madonna did first. And better. The sexual imagery, the religious imagery, the crazy clothes, the attitude....it's 80s/early 90s Madonna all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberal Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Certainly what Lady Gaga does now is in the footsteps of Madonna but that isn't a bad thing. And it certainly doesn't discredit what Lady Gaga does now either. Music wise Lady Gaga does bring in influences from the decade's last popular music genres and does it better than Madonna had tried to do in 2003. She certainly delivered a better rap breakdown on Poker Face than what Madonna did during the song "American Life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Once upon a time, I made some critical remarks about somebody's nomination, which I subsequently regretted - felt a bit of an a-hole, actually. Who did I think I was, wading in thoughtlessly with my frankly unwelcome opinion? Was my opinion of the nominated artist so very important that I must vent it, regardless of the sensibilities of the nominator or anybody else who might have been tempted to vote for it? Might there not have been a more appropriate time or place to discuss my opinion of the artist in question? Confronted with the reality of my action and the vexation it had caused to an individual to whom I owed no ill-will whatsoever, I realised that critical observation of other people's nominations might better be saved until after voting is done and dusted. That's if it is necessary at all, which it often isn't, if truth be told. Once I realised what a self-important, insensitive oaf I'd been, and learned from that chastening experience, I began to mend my ways in that regard, to the point where nowadays, I hardly ever offend anybody.

blind-fitter Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Acceptance is the key. "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" - Dropkick Murphys (2005) "Sister Havana" - Urge Overkill (1993) I'll get one of these awesome bands in yet! Like, when will you accept that these are just lousy songs by lousy artists that nobody else likes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
