I get that Lady Gaga is all about being out there and wearing the weirdest costumes possible. But dressing up as a decapitated woman holding her severed head 13 days after Halloween on The X Factor in The UK makes absolutely no sense to me. Especially doing it while singing Marry the Night because what is the messaging behind it? I mean she couldn’t even move in and was stiffer than the dead body she was pretending to be. Then when she finally takes off that ridiculous costume, she comes out looking and dancing like Madonna. If she wants her own identity, why does she keep copying Madonna?
Don’t get me wrong I like Lady Gaga’s music and her crazy schtick, but this look made absolutely no sense to me. Did you get it?

Lady Gaga went to the Beacon Theater last night and the singer looked normal. Well if you can get past the fact that she isn’t wearing a shirt under opened blazer, but still that is the most normal I have ever seen that Mother Monster look!!!
Tony Bennett is 85 years young and he told AARP magazine that he has no plans to retire. But there is one thing he should retire, when asked about Lady Gaga he said something that I disagree with. He said, “I think if she keeps going the way she’s going now, that she will become bigger than Elvis Presley. She will become the main rage of the entertainment world. I’ve never met anybody, I don’t care what age, who is more intelligent about what to do as a performer than Lady Gaga.†He then added, “She did ‘The Lady Is a Tramp’ with me. It was so fantastic. She showed up in the most gorgeous dress I’ve ever seen. On Elizabeth Taylor or Marilyn Monroe — the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen on a human being! And she had a wild green wig on. But when she went into it, ‘Bam!’ The song just took off. So she’s absolutely brilliant with what she does. She’s a very, very magnificent performer and she does know how to sing, and she does know how to play the piano. I see great things for her. She has no boundaries and she knows what she’s doing. You know, I’ve performed with everybody, being 85 years old. I’ve seen it all. And I’ll tell you, I’ve never seen anybody that intelligent when it comes to knowing how to perform properly.â€
I like Lady Gaga and I think she is a visionary, but she is no Elvis. Elvis was Elvis because at the time people weren’t as fickle as they are now. They stayed with you during your career, after you died and never wavered. In 5 years we will be like remember when Lady Caca was on her Edge of Glory. She is like the next Madonna, where she will do some good stuff for while, push the envelope and then get so wrapped up in her ego she will self destruct her career.
So Tony, there will never be another Elvis and there will never be another you and that is OK.
In 2003 Britney Spears had no problem kissing Madonna during the VMAs and earlier this year she did the same with Rihanna at the AMAs, but she drew the line by sharing a lip lock with Lady Gaga dressed as a man. So I wonder if she didn’t want to be repetitive as she said or she just doesn’t want to kiss a lady dressed like a man. Either way I hope the staged same-sex kisses are done because as Britney implied they are so 2003!
BTW do you think that Lady Gaga’s Jo Calderone looks like a young Ralph Macchio? I see it, but I don’t.
Lady Gaga has released the fourth video from Born This Way and even though You and I has more production value than The Edge of Glory it isn’t as good. The only good part is when she makes out with her male self. She created some good videos for her last few albums, so I don’t understand why she hasn’t for the current CD? Hopefully the next video will be better, that is if there is another one for Born This Way.
