    "Gangs Rocking O..." I'm sorry, Gaga, could you move your boob there for a minute? I'd like to finish this headline.

    I always saw Gaga as a being a performance artist. This explains a lot of the music, outfits, and performances. It also explains all the weird rumors about her since mainstream people for the most part are unused to performance art.

    Dear Santa,

    No sooner than I had postmarked my annual missive to your arctic facility, than I stumble upon this, by George! I hearby command you to bring me 5, or I will sever Rudolph's nose and convert it into a flashlight! This is the ONLY warning your red rotund carcass will receive! YOU WILL OBEY ME, JOLLY FAT MAN!

    Yours, Stewie

    This junk was just as lame when it was posted on Gizmodo a month ago. If you go to the Make Faire, you'll see hundreds of other piles of junk just like this, that fall into the "oooo lets take everyday items, make them metal and stick guns and sharp objects on them oOoOooooOOoo so edgy!!"

    Lazy art is lazy.

    She gets a lot of hate, but I actually like her a lot, and completely agree with the Madonna-parallel comparisons.

    She's...really pretty too, so that helps. :D

    She is the next Madonna I tell you. Everyone is going to complain about her appearance and her music but she is going to sell millions of records and never go away.

    @reddingofish: She is. And the music is surprisingly good, once you start paying attention to it. I can understand people not digging The Fame, but the whole of The Fame Monster is just brutally well done.

    The only difference between Lady Gaga and every other media hyped pop star is her wanna be Andy Warhol image. Apparently when you put a big wig on vapid it becomes art.

    @Post-Nuked: I think you're missing the (I can't believe that I'm going to say this) meta humor in her persona.

    Yes, her outfits are ridiculous but she's subltly crafted her persona to be an almost meta-Madonna or post-irony Paris. She's all image and with her level of visibility, that's a hard thing to do.

    Like Madonna, she seems to have a good sense of straddling the line between pushing her image and not putting it all out there.

    @k4man:
    If she wants to be a performance artist, then she should do just that. If no one ever saw a picture of her, or saw a video, she would not have the reputation she does. I respect good performance art, but what Lady Gaga does strikes me as cheap sensationalism. Her image and her music are completely at odds with each other.

    Maybe I'm overly jaded, but I don't think her music is anything out of the cookie cutter norm. As much as I hate pop sensationalism, I hate the I-have-that-on-vinyl hipster attitude, but if she's wants to bill herself as a musician then she needs to be judged as a musician. When weighed in those scales she is found extremely wanting. At the end of the day she is as musically boring as everything else in the top 40.

    I think we can (hopefully) assume she doesn't have a disco stick. That second pic is hot. She may act strange and dress herself like dolls and murder victims but she is smokin' and her music is kinda catchy.

    Lady Gaga and David LaChappelle is a weirdly perfect pairing.
