Music Intervention: "Lady GaGa Please Stop! You're Ruining Our Children!"

Sergio was just running out of material is all.

Pitch the idea to "Super-Soaker",....they may see the market. +^d

You are far too generous. I've seen Gaga's interviews.

The woman is as vapid as they come. She says she's an artist and has political views, yet when pressed by the media she resorts to vague statements like "I don't want to promote negativity" and backs out of the questions without answering them. And then there's her increasingly desperate attempts to shock us with ramblings about how she casually does hard drugs and fucks her bandmates.

The closest thing she's done to making a political statement was to drunkenly scream "IT'S WROOOOOOONG!" while hanging all over the podium at a protest. You would think, having as much of a gay following as she does, that she would at least show up sober and give a proper speech. But it was just another publicity stunt to her.

Besides, anyone who pays any attention to the history of pop and rock music, as well as fashion, are not shocked by anything she does, but rather are merely shocked by the short term memory of our society. She is the result of the media gorging itself on all the popular culture and art of the past five decades and vomiting.

I do not believe she has the intellect, creativity, nor charm to have any long term or meaningful impact on our society.

Well it WAS a brainfart just off of a bunch of article-reading. While her cult of personality may ring purely vapid (I haven't really seen an interview of her before), certain marks of intellect within her work ('bath haus' after the german school of bauhaus, the fernando/roberto/allejandro representation of the trinity of christianity) are of depth no other pop icon has matched in subtlety and pervasiveness in quite a while. And she has a genuine and undeniable ability to sustain intrigue into her character. Where other artists of similar records of self-destructive behavior have fizzled out, she doesn't stop.

I definitely was giving her too many props. But she isn't rambling through her career. She is conscious of every choice she makes, and she's choosing to make superficially wrong ones. Which I guess is quite irresponsible considering the amount of minds she now has control over. But then I also heard she was quoted saying she made her first album incredibly poppy and shallow in order to make more critical works after she got famous. So. I guess time will tell. I like to be optimistic about it at this point.

I understand... I hope I didn't sound hostile. That rant had been simmering under the surface for a long time. lol

I would love for your optimistic view to prevail. I know she does have some real talent with piano and bluesy vocals, but her pop persona makes me ill. It seems such a waste.

As far as art references go, she grew up wealthy, in the sort of family that starts teaching their child a classical instrument at a young age. I wonder if they sent her to expensive schools? The references themselves are very high-brow, but I'm not impressed by what she makes of them. It's like she drops names to impress people, not to make a statement. At least, I don't see any deep statements being made. I think it's just a well-educated take on the old shock rocker formula. Maybe I'll go read over more of her lyrics to see if there are exceptions, but what I've seen presented in main stream media by her has been an utter waste of potential at best. And really... her personality... her lies and misrepresentations about who she is and what she does, makes me hate her as a person.

If wearing plastic bubbles is edgy, I'm happy being away from the edge. She's promoting idiocy to the idiotic masses; this =/= edgy. People who emulate her stunts and videos, ESPECIALLY with children, need therapy (before their kids require it, preferably).
Point two - she IS distracting people from the body counts, economic hardships and looming environmental disaster. She's doing a damn good job of it too, which is why more money is being poured into her hot mess than is going to the flood victims of Pakistan or to save the Brazilian rainforests. Distraction pays better than activism. She's just trash people are paying good money to see.

I hate Lady Gaga, but I agree with you %100.

And Warhol and Mercury.

Madonna hasn't died. She's merely faded away.

Personally I think it's sad that LGaga so blatantly imitates people like Madonna. She's more like a doppelganger than a reincarnation.

Exactly... Gaga needs no "music intervention." Sergio had a slow news week?

If she has her head screwed on, then why does she contradict herself so often in interviews, and why does she practically brag about her drug abuse?

She's doing harm to my ears every time i hear her songs.

WORD!

Why did you post a picture of Siouxsie Sioux? Is she supposed to be their child? I'm pretty sure she's at least twenty years older than Gaga and Sergio and can't be their child.

All of my questions aside, that was a very funny post.

You, good sir, or madam, have won the comment Olympics. Upvoted forever.

Good for you for knowing Siouxsie Sioux - when I thought of Sergio and Gaga producing offspring she came to mind, and so I went with it - I find Siouxsie to be a prototype for the Fame Monsters to come.

you just wrote two contradictory statements.

I agree, a Nickleback intervention is much needed

EXACTLY MY POINT. It just isn't clever in one bit.

Nickelback needed a music intervention 5 years ago!

OH GODS YES! And every band that sounds exactly like them! (Who's names I consequently don't know! XD )

Hey I love gaga too, still thought this was funny. I bet if Gaga watched this she too would giggle. It's not hatful mokery its fun satire. Jeez honies dont be so defensive.

it's not satire... -_-

then what is it?

yes it is. ;)

you sir are a gay.

and yes the military video was gay..er than you hope of ever being haha.

you're just a gay asshole at this point. shut up.

randall, when lady gaga tells you to drink the koolaid, drink deep

no, this is a vicious unwarranted attack upon a musical messiah whose only goal is to help us transcend into Nirvana through slinky outfits and slutty gyrations.

for the morons who gave this -3, unless you were gaga fans, I was being sarcastic.

I suppose I've achieved some success here, at least, in getting a comment voted down so low. A first for me!

It's true that I'm gay, master of the obvious.... I'm not so sure that military video is gayer than me though. And what makes me an asshole? Stating my opinion?

I guess I'm just used to satire being infused with more wit.

Ah! Sergio! Cilli!

I was super afraid this was a serious post. Thank you for clarifying.

eeehhhhhh....

hahahahahaha

BOOOO randallr01!!
I like Gaga, BUT SERGIO IS FUNNY.
And he isn't insulting Gaga at all, so cool it.
And apologize to Sergio.
NOW

chilllllll....This piece obviously had a humorous tone to it. He's not trying to be that much of an asshole he's just joking around. Plenty of humor comes from others making fun of each other lol He threw up the most ridiculous gaga impersonations to half a laugh at. The only thing I can disagree with is the child in handcuffs or the idea of little girls becoming slutty. However, often in scenes like these they are professional child actors/actresses.

You do realize you're making fun of a child expressing himself, right? That opinion of yours is disgusting!

trolllllll

He was just having fun. What's so sad about that?

I have to disagree, I think the portly child was awesome. Look at how much fun he was having. I can't say I'm a stranger to making dorky videos. It's definitely fun. What's actually sad is the footage of toddlers dancing in an overtly sexual manner to songs that are far too mature for them.

you're right. Howlin Mad Murdock says NO FATTIES!!!!
