If there’s one thing I hate doing, it’s writing about bands/singers that I do not like. How I will ever get a job as a Music Writer with morals is beyond me! I’m not selling my soul to any dodgy publication. By do not like, I mean slagging them off in a way that makes me sound like a pretentious, jumped up prick ya know? I’m not like that, so why would I do that just to draw a reader in. I’d much rather write about something fantastic and exciting that makes the reader want to go out and buy the record or go to the gig. There’s enough negativity in the world, music is meant to be a happy thing. An escape. I know I sound odd..but stay with me on this.
Right. Lady GaGa. I do not like her music (however Pokerface, due to it being constantly played AT me..I like it a bit. Mainly for the “bluffin’ with my muffin” line.) but after watching interviews of hers, I can’t help but think that she is a ridiculously sweet person. I’ve just watched her interview on the Ellen Degeneress Show(I’ll put a link up!) and what she said to her was just lovely. I did get teary eyed. Also, watching her sing Pokerface with just a piano shows how good a voice she has.
I don’t like her music, but I do think that she seems quite sweet and has a good voice. Anyone who can go on TV and say they have a “donkey dick” and can take the piss out of themselves is fine by me.
I’m not saying that everyone should like her, I can understand why people like her and dislike her. You cannot deny that she is talented. Just watch her performances with just a piano and you’ll see that she has a fantastic voice.
So many are quick to label her as “too commercial” but whatever. It’s not like she’s lip synching like I don’t know…Britney?! Will Britney sing at her UK tour or will she mime? Who knows. Who care! If she does mime, then the people that go to see her will be gutted. You’ll have spent £30+ to see someone mime. You can watch it on YouTube for free. Think about it.
I’m going to leave it there…for now. Here’s the clip :
