Lack of Gaga on Grammy Winner List
There has been a huge spark of controversy concerning recording artist Lady Gaga's lack of titles at the Grammy Awards last night. Listeners across the globe seemed outraged that an artist of such high popularity would leave the event without sweeping in the categories she was nominated, particularly the greater acclaimed categories such as album of the year. Perhaps it is just me, but I had no issue with any of the results last night. The Grammys were created to give artists recognition when they excel in a certain area of the music industry. Lady Gaga may in fact be a phenomenon, but I feel her appeal is due to more than musical talent. In an almost modern-day Michael Jackson fashion, her wardrobe and paparazzi shots tend to overpower her identity as a good singer.

ReplyDeleteI agree! She is so weird and that is why she is famous. I do think she is a great singer, the following link is a video of her signing while she was herself, Stefani Germanotta, not her alter-ego Lady Gaga.

SHe sounds great, but do you think she would have risen to fame if she looked and dressed like this all the time? I say no, she would have just blended in!
Have you seen what she recently wore? (http://omg.yahoo.com/photos/what-were-they-thinking/3647?nc)
ReplyDeleteI think she is just asking for attention. Her songs are catchy and make people want to dance, but she is really just trying to get people talking about her, and that's exactly what she gets because seeing the crazy things she wears we do talk about her. We tend to talk more about her fashion than her music...
