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.

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

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...

[Maemi]

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

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)

It is if you are using singing technic... it's like playing 2 instruments at the same time

[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.

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.

[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.

[ayumixfan]

^ lol thats what I think, she's not being ****ty to get sales. She's doing it because she likes it LMAO I think you can be ****ty and be talented lol. Its just most people ignore a person's talent because they don't like sexual explicit stuff. 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.


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.

[pommy48]

i guess a sexual image captivate the audience more

like would you want to watch a video of a girl dancing around with happy unicorns? (yes i know, bad example)

it's kinda like kuu, she have a nice voice, but don't you remember the bottle more than the song?

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.

[panda♥]

I personally don't like artists who try to use sexual actions to get attention and/or sales. It makes them look incredibly bad in my opinion and even if they did have talent you definitely wouldn't see it because sexual image > talent, atleast in America.

'Tis why I don't like Kumiko too much, either.

[fantasma3c]

Ayumi of course!
I never really had a liking for Lady Gaga

[ayu_fantasy]

Omg... so much lady gaga bashing..... No commets caause i don't listen to her music..

[jbrat2219]

So I've decided to give Gaga another chance... I think I'm going to have to listen to her like I do Utada and just listen to the music and not pay attention to who the heck is singing it lol.
