Let’s Talk: Gaga
Monday, February 1st, 2010I was the last person on Earth to find out about Lady Gaga. Sure, I’d heard Poker Face sneaking about on radio, but I really don’t listen to radio like that, so I always just changed the station. I don’t know what it was, but one day I decided to take a listen, so I downloaded both her albums and made a little Gaga playlist.
I’m into the sounds of electro-pop as of late, so this was right up my alley: Good pop songs with clean-&-bouncy production, catchy hooks & melodies, and something that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
And oh the visuals! Over the top was 5 miles back. I know people can manufacture edge and flamboyance, but at least she is consistent and she does it well. For all the talk of how she was before becoming Lady Gaga…come on now, it’s entertainment, don’t we expect some theatrics? I think all the Twitter-ing and Facebook has put us toooooo close to some celebs. Celebrity is larger than life, so go on, dress it up. It beats regular joes like Jersey Shore.
From the looks of things, she’s got others in the industry trying to up their weirdo-game up as well.
What will she think of next…
