People keep wanting us to talk about Lady Gaga- and here's the thing. We don't wanna.
Yeah she wears weird outfits and puts on a crazy show. That's cool, we like that- we like that she's having fun with fashion to the point that she's mocking it and making the audience wonder what the point of it all is. But... first and foremost she's a musician- and her music is awful. Just terrible, worthless crap.
I doubt there will be a popular song worse than "Pokerface" this year- and I hate popular music so I think it's all terrible, but there is something especially scornful about the song's bland forgettable, verse and it's over-simplified chorus. "Pa-pa-pa". It's the sort of song a child would write- if a child were stupid.
So, you're not going to see any Lady Gaga on this blog, until:
A. She abandons music and admits that she is a performance artist above all else.
B. She writes music that isn't awful.
And, Gagadamnit! Can we stop throwing around the word "genius" everytime someone manages to write a pop song?
