She's definitely putting in more effort/is more interesting than any of her contemporaries, but yeah, in her 13 minute epics, she should push it further. The music video bit was fine, but really not related to the start at all. I liked bits of the first half, but what Daft just said...she should use more interesting imagery, she still rooted in the sort of stuff Pop music has been borrowing from for decades, just presenting it slightly differently.

 

I just think of John Waters and his use of shocking things/strange looking people and how that words...I'd bet she's a fan of his films. Her 'knowing' narration and stuff could be better too, be more LOL in the vein of Waters movies. She should look to them and things like them, truly underground stuff, for inspiration, if she wants to create a truly different aesthetic/visual identity to her contemporaries.

I'd find that more interesting and truly 'boundary-pushing!!!!' combined with her born this way stuff - we've all seen dancing in city streets/exploding cars before...she does it well, but she could be better.

I don't think she has the aim to be better than her contempories, so I don't really see the need for her to do any of the things you've mentioned.

 

She just wants to be herself and express herself in the ways she wants to. Through this she puts across the messages she deems important and does so in the ways that works for her. It's much more natural/believable and makes the messages much more approachable for those who follow her, than her trying to forcefully 'push boundaries'.

 

What you've mentioned is what you seem to expect from her/want her to be given her position.

I'm in such a The Fame mood. It's way worse than Born This Way but is fun when you give it a go. Obviously the single's are enjoyable but the album tracks are pleasant enough too. I hate the Cherry Cherry Boom Boom stuff, but you get over it.

I think Heavy Metal Lover is a good single choice. Especially compared to her past single choices from this album.

But i also think she's over exposed herself. Too much and too soon. Born This Way came very quickly after Fame Monster exposure as it is (there wasn't even a break really).

 

She just needs to take a rest, for her own sake as well! No one does their best work when they're burnt out.

I NEED TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

She's surely gonna be on tour for a year?!

Mind you Rihanna toured for most of 2011 with gaps in between.

It is exciting! What's even moreso is the stage design -- I'm really into the style of it. Very classique. Despite the criticism the "Monster Pit" is also nice & quirky.

 

She seems to have taken Marry The Night as a cue to disappear from public consciousness which'll do her well. I'm hoping she has another single under her belt ready to unload. I need something to spam nightclubs that makes me happy!

 

Oh! And the Jo Calderone version of the Haus of Ü fashion project has been released. It's enjoyable & lol.

 

I like Madonna but seriously , reduct--what ?

Marry The Night was obviously the last proper single. I'd be surprised at any more released. It's floppage was probably rather disorientating for her (and unfair to the song, which is brilliant).

 

I'm in so much more of a Madonna mood atm (in about 3 minutes will be buying Madonna tickets), but would like to see Gaga too. Glad her UK dates will be later in the year and not announced right now.

^ Didn't she initially say 8 tracks were going to be released off of Born This Way?

 

Though maybe that's changed... it always seemed too many.

 

I don't remember how much she ever said. She probably did say 8 but she loves to troll sometimes :p

 

I know that she plans to release videos for non-singles (Government Hooker) and do other little things with her album. I doubt she's finished with it. She also replied to one fan saying that she'll be doing something with Sheisse soon! Happiness! : D

I'm looking forward to it although not feeling any hype yet.

 

It's just way too long after the album release. Especially with the relative fizzling out of the last singles, she isn't in everyone's minds at the moment. I know she probably needed a year off touring to like recover (who wouldn't?) but it wasn't the ideal time period to take a break.

The only GaGa song I like is Teeth and apparently that's her most disliked?

 

It was the only one on Fame Monster that felt 'different' rather than just 'good pop'. I like it. It's terribly dull live though, like 11 minutes long and drawn out.

Teeth has always been consciously one of my favorites. It felt really weird and the type of music she "should" do. I loved how exclusive / hidden it felt too. I never heard or saw people discuss it that much. I'm always surprised it doesn't get more attention & love.
