Jahfin Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Trying to apply words like "normal", especially to most anyone in the music industry, is an exercise in futility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bitnogoodjive Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So are you speaking in terms of parts of speech or as a pyschologist? Just what I meant when I said her image was OTT (over the top) - ie outlandish, freakish, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bitnogoodjive Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Again, nothing new in the world of music or the arts. Didn't say it was "new", in fact nothing she is doing hasn't already been done before in one way or another. She's just trying to be Madonna on steroids imo.

To say everything she is doing has been done before is just ridiculous and false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bitnogoodjive Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Another lame attempt at humor...... Not at all, it was from Alice Cooper's cover of Gaga's "Born This Way" at the Bonnaroo festival.

Walter Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Dunno, 'bout as R 'n R as doing a Cadillac commercial I guess. A bit different to me....one is a personal endorsement the other was giving away a song. Didn't see Jimmy or Robert driving that Cadillac. Maybe JPJ was on his way to parking it.... What about your boy Mick? Back on topic: saw the hit she took with that prop - tough gal to continue with the show. Not sure where "Judas" falls in the set, but that's a lot of movement to do with a concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bitnogoodjive Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Lady G is cool. I find her & her music intriguing - which is more than I can say for Madonna, for example. I think it's fair to say that there's far more interesting stuff being done in the pop world than in rock these days. Perhaps, but if it weren't for people like Alice Cooper, KISS, Madonna, Queen, and other theatrical acts, there would be no Lady Gaga. There's nothing new under the sun, even Lady Gaga isn't original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Obviously....she's a mish mash of different influences as is any other artist or at least any that vary their music and remain interesting. Taking those influences and molding your own style is where the talent and staying power come in, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing new under the sun, even Lady Gaga isn't original. You can tell she 's been influenced by Queen only by the way she dresses, but musically she's very far away from what Queen did.

2bitnogoodjive Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lady GaGa Loves Alice Cooper's 'Born This Way' Version Add CommentJune 14, 2012 06:14:05 GMT The Mother Monster has heard the 'School's Out' hitmaker singing the rock version of her song, and she approves it. While Lady GaGa was not impressed by Madonna's "Born This Way/Express Yourself" mashup which ended with the Material Girl taking a sly dig at her, the Mother Monster approves Alice Cooper's version. He performed her hit single at the Bonnaroo festival over the weekend. ''Gaga loved it, she emailed us - she's in Australia right now - and said she loved it," the rocker told BANG Showbiz. "I just thought it was such a great track, and the lyrics, 'My momma told me when I was young / she did my hair and put my lipstick on,' for Alice Cooper to sing that, it's funny.'' Cooper covered GaGa's song to appeal to young fans. ''We figured 15 to 25 was probably the average age out there, and I was thinking of a song that would be of their generation, so I said, 'What about 'Born This Way'?' Because that song could be a rocksong, it just needed a different attitude," he explained. Commenting on his monster-like appearance, he said, ''I wasn't making fun of LadyGaGa, it was a tip of the hat to her, but We have this 14 foot Frankenstein that we use in our show, and I said, 'Dress up the Frankenstein like Gaga, and have that come out at the end with the big blonde hair and the curlers and the dress' - and the audience loved it, they absolutely got it.'' Cooper also added twist to his rendition by adding his own lyrics. "You may be crass, you may be dumb...but hell with that, are you having fun?" he sang to loud cheers from the crowd. "They killed me once. They killed me twice. They hung me high, but that's the price. Of fame and fear and fortune too, I'm standing here at Bonaroo!" http://www.aceshowbi...w/00051415.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 ^ Typically graceful response from her. She doesn't take herself as seriously as others do. I am still bothered by the generalizations out there though. Similar statements could be said about any other musicians - ever, they all build on their influences. Even the great Ice T...

Walter Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 According to Rolling Stone magazine, "Lady Gaga has already finished her third full-length LP, just over a year after releasing her multiplatinum smash Born This Way. According to a tweet by Gaga, she has played the new record for her label and will be announcing the title in September. Gaga's 'Born This Way Ball Tour' hits North America early next year."
