Lady Gaga Isn't so Bad

I don't get why you link this video to lady gaga.

If you want to link every queer looking guy with a strange outfit to her, you can take just about any vid from 80-s rock bands ;-)

(I'm probably missing something here, just can't see what)

Seriously, look at this picture of her and then look at the Tube's singer (Fee Waybill).

She also basically stole her whole image by using other people's sticks. She tries to dress, say, do everything as outrageous as she can, and people think that's original?
She's a pop star. Since when was originality a requirement?

Pop success is all about image. She's only doing what she does because there's a huge appetite for it. That's the part that bothers me.
 
I don't like her music much (but then, I'm not crazy about most current pop), but when I see her interviewed I like her as a person. Either she's sincere in what she does, or she's fooled me real good.
 
Gaga is just a copy of great bands like Missing Persons, except her music is banal and bland. She's talented, but she writes throw away songs that sound like regurgitated Abba disco. And I like Abba. ;)

The Tubes was a great band, and Fee didn't dress like that all the time. That was a character he played; Quay Lewd.
