Alejandro! Poker face so she goes away!

We've all been there. We have all woken up in the morning and looked in horror at our hair in the mirror wondering how in the world it got that way. We just laid on it wrong, why is it all over the place? Well my theory is that Lady Gaga woke up one day, looked at her own mess of  hair and decided she was good to go. Then she happened to fall into an astronomy kit and decided she was dressed. We can only hope that somehow hygiene was taken care of somewhere in that mess.

Now don't get me wrong, Lady Gaga is probably one of the most talented musicians I've ever heard. She has the voice of Christina Aguilera, and the provocativeness of Madonna. Sure, she may get drowned out by europop and bass, but when I saw her perform Paparazzi on the piano, she almost brought a tear. She's genuinely talented. Sadly though, we are going to look back on her and cringe.

To start off with the Gaga turmoil, imagine your son or daughter looking through old albums on the internet and stumbling upon Gaga. "Oh I know her, she sang that one song right?" Well yeah, we wouldn't be that upset at all, but when they watch the video, they are going to cock their heads and look at you like you are a crazy person. What's going on in this video? Oh I think she's dancing next to dead people. Here? Oh I think she's being forced to take a bath. Why are her eyes big and why is she dancing with that white suit on? Oh........... Shut up it was a different time.

The woman strapped meat on her body as a dress once, she has been hailed as a fashion icon and she wore a meat suit. Does anyone else think this might come back and bite us in the butt? We laugh at our parents for those ugly neon colors and for wanting to wear Michael Jackson's bright orange jumpsuit, yet we are going to worship the ground of a woman who dresses.... in.... meat.
Oh Look Ma! Aunt Bessie is on the TV!

It's not even really her that is quite all that embarrassing. It's the "Little Monsters" as well. By followers, I'm not talking about the gay community, I'm talking about the nut jobs who are dressing up like her. It's semi ok for her to do it because she's on stage and a celebrity. I don't think Mary Sue down the street is going to wear a red veiled jumpsuit to school and not get beaten up. It's all quite bizarre and I can find many instances that will make Madonna's Boob Cones look like they were the most cultured thing ever made.

Now for the latest fiasco. Her alter Ego that she is currently working on. What? She's literally dressing up as a man, refusing to answer to her name, and wore a prosthetic penis that she continuously grabbed onto during the whole night. Did she do this at a shoot? No. A music video? Yes and No. This was at the VMA's. The Video Music Awards. The effing Music Awards! Nothing is more of an eyesore than an attention sucking starlet who has decided to utterly confuse everyone. Even people in the gay community were a bit turned off by it.

End point. Gaga is a great musician, pianist, actor, director, writer, and overall idealistic person. The problem is that when you are trying to make a point, make your point. I don't talk in latin to people I want to hear me speak for a good reason. If they don't hear your point then you might as well not have one at all. Perhaps someone can decipher a few of her outfits for me. That Red Veiled one that she wore at the MTV awards would be quite appreciated.

Intro.

OH HELLO!!! Do I have your attention yet? Good! I have a question for you. When you are older, how cool will you be? Will you still be the head of the internet world? Will you still be in the forefront of the media? Or will you do what everyone else does and cling to the media pop that was in style during your early adult years, I.E now? Well if you pick the second, CONGRATULATIONS! You are going to be just like those that came before you, wishing for the days over your own version of the Neon Spandex and side pony tails! Maybe you will be old and wishing that Britney Spears was still touring, or wondering whatever happened to Maroon 5. Maybe you will be fauning over your old calenders with the LOLcats on them. Telling your kid that you want to "Haz Cheezburger." We are in the moment of the times right now, and so we don't see how potentially embarrassing these things are yet, so I'm gonna show you!

Some of my topics are going to be blatant. You are gonna be hopping in your chair pointing and laughing because you know that someone else is going to be embarrassed by that! Face it, we are all bad people on that front. I am however going to have some topics that is going to make you stare at the screen appalled with a look of "OMG" on your face. You will then promptly come into class the next day, pick up your keyboard, and show me how you REALLY feel about it. Should be fun!


"What did you say about Harry Potter?"

OH! And another thing. If you like what it is I say, then by all means, share it around. I'll do what I can to keep it all interesting with topics that you will find fun to talk about. If you have anything that you want me to tear apart, or perhaps even defend, then by all means leave a comment and I'll give you a fun review.
