I think christina is a good example. when she went ****ty her in dirty, her voice was still amazing but people hated on her, and when she released beautiful people love her again.

LOL, well if that's who she is,that's who she is. And yeah, it seems for me at least, it's not the songs like (like Christina's Dirrty or Gaga's Love Game) that bother me, it's just that video >_<; Of course what would you expect with sexually explicit music xD; I know Christina has been in the music business longer and has evolved, but I want to see another side to Gaga other than a singing-dancing *****.

Oh okay lol.

Ayu all the way!

I saw Lady Gaga on a great TV show here in Germany and this performance was just ridiculous!
The wig she wore didn't suit her face at all as well as the body suit she was wearing... it was too tight for her body, she looked fat in it because of that.
Then her dance moves... she was out of the beat almost the whole song and compared to her dancers she just seems as an awful dancer. o.O
The host of this show stated afterwards that they have to wait a minute so that all the lightning and stuff could be buit up - Lady Gaga insisted on special lightning and stage...

Apart from that I like her music, some songs are really nice.
But this performance made me dislike her. -_-

^ Which performance was this? I've only seen one German performance.

It was the last "Schlag den Raab" show not long ago.
But I doubt you know it... XD

There was a video of the performance at youtube but the german production company removed it.

I prefer Ayumi, obviously.

Lady Gaga has some nice songs, but I honestly don't like "****ty" music artists. I know that's not ALL she's about, but all of her BIG music videos have some type of sexual thing in them. She dry humps the air in Poker Face, has a whole scene where she's kissing on a guy in his underwear and even slides down to his crotch area. The first few seconds of Love Game she's already kissing a guys neck. The next scene she's topless with 2 men, spreading her legs all over the place. The last minute of the video she's spread her legs again with the 2 men from the beginning and then she's close to making out with a female and male cop.

Gaga is creative, I'll give her that but I just don't like her image at all. She's too sexual for my taste.

My gosh! @_@; I didn't know all that! -_-; Maybe she belongs in a different kind of video...

^ It was horrible in the same amount in The Dome 49(I think) she had a special stage and lightning and everything, but she lipped the choruses, sang the rest horrible, was out of synch with her dancing and looked horrible, I guess shes just no live artist(Britney Spears, anyone?)

but this doesnt really show her ability as a live artist for me because it basically is a studio situation, im sorry if i used bad words, but i meant something more along the lines of concert artist, singing good WHILE running around, jumping around or something(doesnt have to be dancing) but not just sitting around and it seems she sings bad as soon as she moves

Singing while playing an instrument is very hard too... maybe as hard as singing while moving...

Not if youre used to it, to be honest, i only watched like the first minute of it(voice annoyed me...but it was enough to see that she was singing way better than in The Dome), the playing didnt really look hard to me in that time...i dont play the piano so i cant really say though(only play guitar)

[jbrat2219]

So the video for Love Game because I was hoping it wasn't as bad as panda♥ described. But I have to say, I kind of really don't care for the video... The song itself is the kind of music that is only appropriate during one circumstance, sex with your significant other in the privacy of your bedroom (kitchen, living room, shower, wash room...). I know she's a s|ut provocative individual but my gosh, is that really what you want to base your entire image on? Sure she may right her own lyrics, music and design her own clothes but it still all comes back to her being a... provocative individual... I dunno, I think there's a fine line b/w being sexy and trashy. Most of the video was "whatever" but I feel it crossed the line for me personally when she was naked all over those men and spreading her legs.... I get it, you want to ride their disco stick, you don't have to show us how, thanks lol.

Like I said, Gaga is probably a good artist and a great singer but her sexual image and sexual lyrics that she apparently "writes herself" covers up the talent. Her talent is hiding behind a ****ty image and I don't think we'll ever get to see her talent because nobody cares about it especially after releasing a song and video like Love Game.

You can't tell me that "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" isn't meant to be or doesn't sound sexual.

[SelfishHands]

AYUMI cannot be beaten as she is a QUEEN and LADY GAGA is just a PAWN or maybe even a ROOK
definitely not a BISHOP tho

also! AYU-SAMA's irl poker face is better than LADY GAGA's becuz no emotion will ever be read across her beatiful porcelain face

[Maemi]

They're so different. I don't understand how do you compare them ...

[emi♡]

it's not THAT hard...especially if you know the piece down to where you have memorized it and everything...

The only thing I think would be hard for her is to remember what style to throw her voice in next.

This is the only thing I don't like about her. She's doing all this **** with her voice...for what?

Where is her voice? I mean I'm happy she can pretend to be like other badass female singers...but if I wanted to listen to their voices, I would listen to them, not her.

At a lot of parts it sounds like she's tearing the crap out of her vocal cords. It's just annoying.

It sounds like she's got a nice voice under there...I wanna hear it.

[emi♡]

Maybe she wants to be sexual?

Why does being sexual automatically have to refer to a gimmick to get sales?

If I made music, I'd probably do some sexy things too...because it's fun. I don't care if people like it or not, people like different things. You can't please everyone all the time.

Seems like she was always kinda ****ty.

[panda♥]

I'm not saying she's doing it to get sales, but her big music videos have always been sexual and people have been talking about how she has real talent, but where is it? You never see it because it's hidden behind her sexual persona. Sure you can be sexy, but don't put yourself out to be a **** which is what she looks like to me. That's my opinion.

OMG I NEVER NOTICED THAT disco stick spelled that LOL WOW For some reason I think thats pure genius AHAHHA it makes so much sense XD ~!!!

Well I think playing an instrument and singing is still hard, regardless. haha its probably easier than moving while singing, but I think it still takes lots of practice and such.
