Going Gaga

I can't stand Lady Gaga. She had 2 pretty decent lightweight pop songs a year or so ago and now some how she's being held up as a huge cultural icon. Why? She's the most pompous idiot I've had the misfortune to be exposed to since Jude Law.

A couple of weeks ago she was on Jonathan Ross promoting her new song. She did so with a phone on her head. Now I know some people think that's cool, that it's cutting edge and shows that she's amazingly brave and courageous for doing so. I'm not buying that. She did it because she's an attention seeker with limited talent and knows that the rest of her album won't secure her headlines. Her voice is weak, her songs are poorly written and she's not a very good performer. Big shoulder pads, hair extensions and whore-like make up don't make someone a star. It just proves that they need to mask their lack of ability.

Her interview showed how vacuous she is. We were given no insight into her, what she does that makes her unique beyond being a cock and the only vaguely interesting line of conversation was closed down. Ross dared to ask her why Bowie is an influence on her and she refused to go into it saying it was 'private'. How did the BBC give such exposure to her when she was unwilling to go into really basic questions.

I'm really looking forward to her next album. I'm sure it's going to flop and then all of the idiots who have held her up as an icon will have to move into their next temporary idol. In the meantime, unfortunately, I'm going to have to tolerate her and all the morons who feed her ego.

Pop stars are an egotistical bunch, they have to be to take all the knocks and put downs they get. Gaga takes the piss though. Whereas Bono is undoubtedly a self promoting dick, but he's got a mountain of platinum selling albums and has raised millions for AIDS. Geldof might not have the glittering back catalogue but again has done enough to justify the ego. Gaga hasn't so should get back to reality, take the phone off her head and try to write some decent songs
