And I'm not talking about the outfits. No problem there. It's how she explians her outfits and music that pisses me off, as though there is some deep philosophical meaning to "do what you want with my body." She doesn't seem to be capable of stringing coherent sentences together either, as every interview I've seen her in has been horribly awkward and pointless, and she does that dumb-person thing of drawing out a simple point unnecessarily in an attempt to make it sound intelligent: "I perform my songs until they become a part of me, so that my fans see an outward manifestation of my being" (I'm sure she said this) Don't you mean "I practice my songs before a show"? Hm? And Artpop didn't cause the "revolutionary combination of art and pop" she was hoping for. I found an article that explains better why I don't get Gaga: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/fea...6836137106
I know what you mean. I see her as a performance artist who's main 'art' is fashion and subverting fashion. I find her interesting to look at but have no interest in her music or interviews but from what little I've heard, it's quite ordinary. But then I don't have much interest in mainstream music anyway so that doesn't say much.
