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

- added this
It takes a real friend to call an intervention to help you realize you might have a problem. This also applies to music. Except Sergio is not your friend but he still wants you to stop. Here's Sergio's Music Intervention.
infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10/9c on Current TV.

I know this is a bit late, but that's seriously LOL funny. Some of it is pretty disturbing though, definitely blame the parents - especially the psycho nutter pageant parents. Lady GaGa's pretty cool, with catchy songs and awesome visual feast vids.
Let her keep doing her thing and reign in the parents, the only time children should be wearing handcuffs is when their playing cops and robbers. They should never be gyrating on the floor singing songs that they can't possibly understand. I imagine that the pageant show is just paedo porn central and that makes it even sicker than it already was!

OH my gosh, Sergio is pretty funny, and let's face it. Anyone who's heard the amazing music from the past decades knows he's just saying what everyone is thinking. Music today is...just not at the same level it was in the past. The 1960s was ridiculous, with the British Invasion, Motown, the Hippie Movement in San Francisco...today's mainstream music is just noise in my opinion. - 2 years ago

It seems like this is pretty much what Gaga is going for. She's brilliantly hitting the pulse between what the majority of cultural consumers accept as edgy, commercial, aesthetically pleasing and mesmerizing enough to imitate and obsess over. She is making depravity a joke and numbing everyone's intrigue with taboo. Hopefully it won't just leave people calloused and instead can wake people up to the real depravity out there that people are conveniently ignoring - mass body counts and global strife due to endless attempts at economic, corporate, ideological and military imperialism and looming environmental disaster. Or she's just making a buck off of being the harbinger of the end of culture. Jesus vs. Shakespeare dilemma.
I just had to write that brainfart after all the elitist art blogs and political opinion articles I've read have made me a bit obsessed with the possible mechanics of her schitck. I feel better now. Sergio you funny.

ahappymintleaf:
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.

EccentricSage:
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.

ahappymintleaf:
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. - 2 years ago

i DO blame the parents. granted my parents are evil, but that doesnt change my opinion on the fact that videotaping your irresponsible 10 year old doing something highly embarrassing *that he/she is going to hate you for in 5-10 years from now* singing a song about love and sex and encouraging them while they're doing so, is just plain fucking wrong.
I don't mind listening to gaga on the radio, and a couple of her songs are catchy I admit, but i think this post should be more directed toward parents if anybody.
yes this is art, and her target audience is NOT misguided girls of any age. or boys in some rare fat cases..what about ICP, do we blame them for mindfucking a good fraction of america into starting a cult within their fan base =/
do we blame eminem for creating wiggers
or tupac for black on black crime?lol.
at some point you have to let people take responsibility for their actions. or parents of the children at question.
i do understand where you're coming from, but you must understand that these are kids. all you gotta do is tell em NO. and they'll find something better to do with their time.

You know, this whole post just pisses me off. And it goes beyond the fact that I am a Lady Gaga fan & believe her to be in a higher category than most musicians, and definitely in the top tier.
It seems to me that you grabbed all the viral videos, strung them together, and then just made small, obvious quips about each. I'm surprised to see you make fun of the military video... that was just good fun.
I can understand ridiculing the future slut in the first video (whose PARENTS should be chided rather than Gaga), but this segment is sooooo grasping.
And making fun of that boy who will now "get beat up for the rest of his life?????" What an asshole you are! I applaud the child for expressing himself! In this repressive, macho society, the LAST thing we need is for someone else enforcing gender roles.
Doesn't life imitate art?
This segment is unlike your others, and it removes all your credibility.
