Ga-Ga Blah Blah Blah.......

So I don't really care for Lady Ga-Ga. When I say this, it tends to drive people banana's. They absolutely love her, or have no opinion. The people who also hate her (who are what this post is about) are generally a little bit crazy and or crank like. My problem with her is that the one thing that she is supposed to be (a musician, or at least a musical performer) is by far and away the weakest part of her whole persona. So for me, a person who doesn't really care about the lightening if the thunder is weak, Lady Ga-Ga is pretty much the antithesis of everything I like about music.

I have heard all the arguments, and I do respect Ga-Ga, especially the fact that because she acted suuuper famous before she was, she managed to completely take control of her image and turn the tables on the usual media saturation of a pop star of her calibre. But, at the end of the day, to me, her music sounds no more interesting than anything on Dance Mix 98-2010. Its just your standard, club music (I do realize I have very little knowledge of club music, but given it is the most reviled form of music, my criticism stands).

But all of this is not my main point. My main point is for the people who hate and protest her, from the World Champion in dumb, terrible music Katy Perry, to the always lovable Phelps family and the Westboro Baptist Church, is that she is not worth your time. Both examples (amazingly) have criticised or outright protested her for sacrilege (and, in the case of the Phelps', for advancing the gay agenda). But I wonder, has Madonna become that irrelevant? Do these people not remember how "provocative" and "sacrilegious" she was? Because seriously, Ga-Ga's provocations are pretty much standard Madonna fair. I know, I know, her outfits are crazy, the music videos better etc.. etc.., but really, is she doing anything more risque than Madge herself? I also don't say this as a fan of Madonna, I say this as someone who finds both of them tiresome.

But like people who protest "hate speech" or picket appearances by controversial speakers/performers always forget is that the controversy fuels them. Think about the career of Marilyn Manson if you need any further proof.

So I say to all those who are "offended" by Ga-Ga (and not just her music) relax, if she even has half the career of Madonna, she will marry a mediocre British film maker, develop lizard arms, and start to look like that cat plastic surgery lady.
