Her whole career is a poor choice. Though I'm sure someone already beat me to that point. I can't be bothered to read this whole thread ha.

Also all these madonna and gaga comparison's make no sense.

Primarily because Madonna was sexy and bold and "shocking" in a time where you could still shock people. Who is Gaga offending, shocking, or liberating in this decensitized age of sensationalism and sensory overload?

She fits right in with all the other idiots that noone really gives a fuck about.

The fact that she is popular and not burnt at the stake like Madonna during the like a prayer era is proof of my statements.

I'll be ignoring this thread, getting high, and listening to thee oh sees. I like their music. It sounds nice.

She's certainly offended you.

Gaga is pretty great, in just about every way a popular musician can be great.

She's a rarity... she's genuinely talented. She's actually a good songwriter and musician. And she's like 22! Cool chick.

Lady gaga was put on this earth to lead the rapture. All follow Gaga. She will be the one to take us to heaven this Saturday.

How or why do you continue to exist in 2011? How are you using the internet? logicfail.

god it's not a comparison per se just the fact that the video alejandro is a reference to some madonna videos, which is obvious.

I like the cover. It looks out of place, especially beside the lines of identikit CDs it'll be placed alongside. I hate the meaning that Lady Gaga has given it but I do like the fact that the big music retailers are gonna have to cheapen their shop facades with huge posters of it, making them look like one of those squat shops that sells bongs and novelty mobile phone covers.

The cover has no artistic merit that I can see but as an exercise in undercutting the industry's expectations of how an A-list celebrity should present themselves, I think it works perfectly. And the fact it's one of the few pop album covers in a long time that people are actually talking about has to be a good thing.

You must spread more DDD is dumb around before giving it to Glice again.

I agree...... she's great, very talented and her music is actually pretty alright, and aside from say ABBA and Blondie I have zero interest in "mainstream pop" music....... my wife went and saw her a few months ago with her sister and they said it was the best time ever despite some soccer moms spilling wine on her and some drunk teenage dude hitting on her.......

HOWEVER, that cover is pretty fucking grotesque - but I feel like she knows what she's doing...... it kind of reminds me of Judas Priests Painkiller ha ha....... through my job I listen to a lot of pop radio and I've heard that Born This Way song like 5000 times and I'm fucking sick of it but I'll still respect her as an artist even if her music isn't blowing sand up my skirt.......

AND DID YOU FUCKING KNOW that ALICE FUCKING COOPER loves Lady Gaga........ I cannot think of a better person to endorse her, ALICE FUCKING COOPER is the fucking king of theatrical, over the top shit (and fucking awesome too!!!), and if ALICE FUCKING COOPER gives her his blessing who are you to contradict ALICE FUCKING COOPER.

Glice 05.20.2011 11:01 AM

I used to travel to and from work with someone who would play nothing but ALICE FUCKING COOPER. These journeys, with the woman playing ALICE FUCKING COOPER continued for a good 8 months and I got thoroughly sick of ALICE FUCKING COOPER which is a shame because for a while I came to quite enjoy ALICE FUCKING COOPER.

Tokolosh 05.20.2011 11:23 AM

This is the first time I see it................ Atrocious!

She seems like a cool cat.......

Glice 05.20.2011 01:30 PM

Have you ever listened to an hour and a half of Alice Cooper a day, 5 days a week, for 8 months? Let me put that into actual hours for you: 240 hours. That's 10 whole days. 10 whole days in a cramped mini with a bad smelling, overweight (like, grotesquely), bad-smelling woman with a lack of a quiet button on her voice. No.

The Watcher 05.20.2011 05:19 PM

Why didn't you just ask her to put on something else.......

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.20.2011 05:40 PM

Haha Alice Cooper. He has some great jams and some godawful ones. In his later years he even did a track w/ Xzibit which was embarrassing for both parties.

He still puts on a fun show though, and plays the Michigan State Fair for free every year.

But yeah, I definitely couldn't tolerate more than an album at a time - if that. The greatest hits collection Mascara & Monsters is fantastic though. Only lacking due to the absence of Feed My Frankenstein.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.20.2011 05:52 PM

Glice did she by any chance play Pretties For You?

 


It's actually pretty damn odd. Kinda Beatles, kinda Pet Sounds... kinda Grass Roots... very 1968. It's really wild actually.

Glice 05.20.2011 05:54 PM

Wow. I'm glad you alerted me to this existence of this. Which is basically a shit version of this, right?

Glice 05.20.2011 05:55 PM

She went sequentially from the beginning to around '95, so most likely. As I say, I came to like some of it, but it really got too much after a while. A shame, really.
