[Lady GaGa] There's Something About You & I in Gaga's 8th Thread

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Well, okay then. I don't know if this is posted before. I don't even care.
Don't get me wrong, Lady Gaga is an awesome artist, but yeah.You know what's her problem?
I don't even believe there is an actual reason and 'hidden meaning' behind this stuff. Lady Gaga just love to shock people, just to get the attention again. Then, whenever they ask her for the reason why she wears clothes like that, then she's going to look for the best 'logical' reason, the best 'logical hidden meaning.'
It's all about the image. Nothing else. Those 'meanings' which I read here, are just some random imaginations, some random 'it could be this!' reasons.
Coz people are looking for conclusions. Everything's supposed to have a meaning lately.

That's my vision. Sorry for my english, and thank you for reading.

you can think what ever you want about her work (or other artists work)..because that's the wonderful thing about Art, you can create your own meaning, or just keep your eyes in the shape.

"Lady Gaga just love to shock people"

that is something that a lot of artist love to do, and is a real alternative way to make art.
like: Tarantino, Madonna, Clive Barker, Mc queen, stephen king....theses are great artist after all.
the art don't need to be so serius all the time.

[emi♡]

^that's how I see it.

I personally only see the shock as a product of what she wants. There's no denying that Gaga likes to be over the top and grand...but, if she was just doing something for the hell of it....she'd do things a little bit differently.

There is method to what she's doing. And even if you don't think there is...maybe you should try to look at what she does in a different way.

What does wearing a meat dress say about how we treat animals?

Why just wear the fur? Why do we think the fur is the only beautiful part of the animal? Why not wear the whole thing? What does wearing the meat raw make you think about?

This is why art is great. Because it has the ability to produce in us all sorts of feelings and thoughts, and different ways of looking at things, regardless if it's what she meant or not.

Art works indirectly all the time.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

^ oh yeah...

I just can say that I love her meat dress and her current hair now...

But, is that meat dress really eh.. 'art'?

I think with the meat dress she just wore it to get attention and just came up with some BS meaning off the top of her head.
If the dress was for any kind of animal rights issue then its very contradictory, " let me make a statement about animal rights by killing a herd of cows and then wearing their decaying carcasses on my body." If she wanted to make a statement about animal rights she could have just worn a gorilla suit or a rat costume or something.

And honesty, I think she preaches that everything is in the sake of art and has some deep meaning just as an explanation as to why she does the thing she does, but it's really not. It's all just to get attention and extend her 15 min. for as long as possible, its just like when Madonna used take her clothes off to get attention, except instead Gaga is putting more weirder looking clothes on.

wow...ignorance is bliss isn't it?

it's been said by gaga what the dress meant and it had nothing to do with animal rights.

and the extending her "15 minutes"???....do you now know what kind of force gaga is on the music industry?

she's probably one of the only artists that have come out in the past few years that is going to be around for a very long time, just as successful as she is now.

and the last time i checked, she's broken record after record for her music. this 15 minutes thing youre spewing just makes you look that much more unaware of how much of an influencial artist she's been the past two years and will continue to be.

Amen (and I love you xD)

Gaga's already a pop icon.

Took the words right out of my mouth I feel exactly the same.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

^ THAT! That's what I meant the whole time! My goodness, hsienko. We must be soulmates oO'

[AyuHamasaki01]

uhm ... I like her meat dress.

But I do think it's gross that she used real meat. If she used fake meat it would be much cooler

[wildconnetta]

her new album as she said on the VMAs is called 'Born This Way'

[U-GO-BOY]

^ and she already made a tattoo of the title on her leg

[emi♡]

meh who cares lol

The meat dress was cool.

In any case, she's gonna get attention, whether people like it or not, simply because her music is great.

What she chooses to do with it is her thing.


About her tattoos...what is that big long one on her arm?

[U-GO-BOY]

it's a quote from German poet Rainer Maria Rilke "In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?"

[emi♡]

^that is interesting. thx

[koumori]

^ ^ Oh, I didn't know that either. That's really cool. Thanks for sharing (:

[AyuHamasaki01]

Wow that quote is awesome! thanks for explaining!

[Minttulatte]

I like that quote. So deep and cool.

And I don't give a damn about her clothes. Gaga can wear whatever she wants, for me her music is the most important thing and I'm dying slowly inside as there's no new album yet. But when it's released, I'll make sure I'll buy it at once as it's probably as good as The Fame Monster/The Fame <3

[happiholic★]

There is no doubt about the records and amazing things Gagaloo has achieved, I guess what some people are wondering is if she is a "fad" or if she will continue on with her monster success. Some people feel that the general public is going to get sick of her over the top antics, some say she is the most creative and iconic artist in a long time and that she is already a part of history. I honestly love her music and aside from a few quirks, I think she is an honest human being and I would love for her to continue on for years to come. However, I have no idea what her future holds. For the time being, she has only been around for a short period of time and it's hard to say how it will turn out. She could retire in 2012! Or, she could outsell MJ. Who knows...
