the thing i like about her is that unlike so many pop stars, she has actual musical talent and ability. and even David Bowie had inspirations and borrowed from other things. she may not bring anything “new”, but she’s a good performance artist and singer.
Sorry, if she doesn’t have anything “new to bring” as you put it, she is not original. And that is not only my opinion, but by definition she does not meet the requirements to be labeled as an original anything.
She’s a fabricated star. For the hype surrounding her, and also her unparalleled popularity in contrast to her limited and uninspiring musical abilities, she is undeservant.
Catchy tunes? Ehn, not really. Nothing personal. If you’re curious as to my taste in music, here’s one of my favorite songs. Hope you enjoy.
YES!
i mean, i personally don´t listen to pink floyd that much, but i like it, i regard it as good music. as i consider many rock groups that were formed in the late 60´s and early 70´s really good.
i´m afraid i have to agree (at least when we are talking about popular music in the western culture) - RIP popular music.
excuse me? she is an extremely talented musician. if all you’ve heard of her is her dance music, like Poker Face or Just Dance, you need to listen to some of her acoustic stuff. her playing Poker Face or Paparazzi with just her voice and a piano is great. she’s as good a piano player as Elton John (in fact they did a duet at a music award ceremony).
and note i put “new” in quotation marks. there’s really nothing new under the sun. David Bowie didn’t bring anything “new” to the table either. all he did was bring the avant-garde to music, and people were doing that already in various forms, and he wasn’t the only one doing it. he just did it differently. i could argue he was just as much of a fabricated star as Lady Gaga.
I listened to that song without subtitles and gee, I couldn’t make sense of it. But these subtitles…match it nearly perfectly. I can’t believe it. No wonder it sounds like English…deep down it is English! Very entertaining.
