Do Aspies see how fake Lady Gaga is?

Post Reply New Topic

I couldn't be bothered to read through this whole thread so I'm not sure if this has been said before, but personally I don't like Lady Gaga. I don't hate her, because I don't really see her as worth giving huge amounts of emotion to, but I think her whole act seems contrived. If she were just a natural eccentric, being 'herself', being out there because that is who she actually is, then fine.. but her look is created by teams of stylists and is just taking elements from every other genuine eccentric artist that has come before. It feels fake, she looks permanently uncomfortable. I hate the expression, but it does look like the clothes wear her instead of vice versa, and in ways the clothes ~are her personality, instead of using clothes as a way to ~show her personality.. which seems to be different every week anyway. I have seen old pictures of her, she was just a normal girl who can sing and play piano (and I will admit she is very talented in those areas).
But her music lacks substance, she can dress up, quote intellectual text, proclaim she has a 'message', but if you listen to her music it's just catchy pop music about partying and boys. She is in a position of huge power at the moment, she is so famous, she has a chance to make big changes, political statements, but she doesn't seem to have anything real to say. In the few interviews I have watched she doesn't come off as exceptionally intelligent, at all. She does shocking things just to shock, and I doubt she even knows what it is she's going for. The one very positive thing she does is support LGBT rights and all that, I'm sure that has helped a lot of people feel better about themselves and about their place in society. For a mainstream star she is doing something admirable in changing people's perceptions of things, but in terms of comparing her to other artists and musicians with a real message, outside of the mainstream, she comes nowhere close.
So yeah, I don't buy it.

I have no qualms with Lady Gaga as a person, but I admire that she can at least play the piano and can actually play an instrument and semi-sing...unlike manufactored pop bands.

However you feel about Gaga, support Artists who have talents with instruments as she's one of the few pop acts that can at least play.

Whats it got to do with "NT'S"? sod all. If you like her kind of music it doesn't matter if you have aspergers or whatever. Like its said above, there's a lot worse garbage in the charts, like the crap churned out of the x factor and britain's got(no) talent. Then endless hip hop crap. Fake rappers like 50 pence. If she acts fake, then a lot of her real self comes out in her lyrics, and she amuses me, and I find her entertaining. She's one of the only modern day artists I like.

that's genius!!

I don't really care for Lady Gaga but I don't hate her or anything
As to her being fake...
Look! I can even see the strings!

are you really going to try to make us believe kurt cobain was murdered, despite how all the facts that it was clearly a suicide are right in front of everyone..

i'm going to stay farrrrrrrrrrr away from this topic.

For a bunch of people who hate lady gaga, this thread just proves that hate and dislike is great for publicity. We are at 6 pages folks.

lol @ 50 pence. I laughed out loud.

And Madonna copied Debbie Harry, Marilyn Monroe, and a ton of other people. It's the circle of life, bb.

I'm just going to leave this here.

I'm not one of Lady Gaga's fans, but I do have to point out that no once can be responsible for every action someone who considers themselves their fan takes. If Lady Gaga had in any way encouraged those who look up to her to kill cats, I'd be leading the call to boycott her music - but she didn't. This was one totally deranged individual. What they did was horrifying, obviously, but I don't see how it can or should be blamed on Lady Gaga. She just happened to become the focus for this person's mental illness - if not her, it would have been someone else, and some other insane crime.

Yeah, I mean why would anyone murder him? He had their Nirvana unplugged performance all set up like a funeral anyway. Don't people think Courtney Love had him murdered? I know i've heard it said that he couldn't have shot himself with that much heroin inside him.

Whats the saying? There's no such thing as bad publicity, only publicity?

Seemed to work for Michael Jackson.

He was a heroin addict, and addicts build up tolerance to whatever they're addicted to. Also, I'm sure Courtney would have blabbed about it years ago if she was involved in his death somehow. She has absolutely no internal filter.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I don't think he was murdered, no way. I was just saying what i'd heard in the past.

I think towards the end of his life he wanted less of the spotlight. The media in some ways ruined his health and probably caused him a lot of emotional distress. But I dunno, I don't pay too much attention to celebrity gossip, as a rule

I think it all started to go wrong for him when
