An...I very much agree with you on some points Mike. And if you read my point-i dont love or hate Lady GaGa. My point of the article is Paglia has missed the point of what makes her subject so amazing. <br /><br />I think Paglia has a tight critique but it needs some lube. She doesnt understand the value in what GaGa presents! She disses GaGa for being unsexy. She takes GaGa down in a blaze for being unerotic. <br /><br />But for many this is what GaGa is about. She is a body. Without. organs. (BodiesWithoutOrgans, a deleurzian concept). This is her point. Nothing. Ether. This is Gaga's point. Paglia doesnt understand that GaGa's theory is poppiffle. GaGa doesnt deconstruct a thing. She doesnt a subvert a thing. Paglia has fallen for the lure of the fame monster. And i love GaGa for doing this. Paglia has become a fame monster in her own special way. GaGa thinks shes groundbreaking. She isnt. What GaGa is good is turning the beat around on the hyperhypersexualisation of pop idols (Chris Brown, Usher, Britney, Madonna, Christina Aguilera). Now, some random male bloke from X Factor goes to number one and strips off and it doesnt cause a beat to tick. Its shrugged off. GaGa is great at sensualizing death. And death is such a repressed issue. For me, its brilliant to see a popstar bring this to the fore in the way she is doing (without lessons of morality). But there is where my admiration ends. <br /><br />GaGa as a product needs to go away and have a nice little holiday. I agree with you there. She needs a break. But Born This Way is on the way. <br /><br />I realize that you prefer The Fame monster over Body Talk. But i think this is entirely subjective. However i feel GaGa's music, tho catchy, is derivative, unoriginal and tedious. Robyn's latest offering is wonderfully wonderful. Daring, beautiful, delicate and dreamy. GaGa is just smoke and mirrors. <br /><br />But what smoke<br />And what mirrors!Robpophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338917857200380786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21058009.post-7998375091879846962010-09-15T00:44:15.709+00:002010-09-15T00:44:15.709+00:00"Sure, it's all rigidly constructed and o..."Sure, it's all rigidly constructed and often derivative but who cares? I think she's actually an incredibly clever songwriter and I would argue that Bad Romance is every bit as good as Tina's classic.

She just has a loud voice and thumpy beats.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion - I think it's hilarious that we're all supposed to love or hate someone - but for me, Gaga is a one of the few great pop stars in the game today. <br /><br />Sure, it's all rigidly constructed and often derivative but who cares? I think she's actually an incredibly clever songwriter and I would argue that Bad Romance is every bit as good as Tina's classic. That song - if you wash away the sex slave video and rah rah rahs - is actually an extremely cutting examination of a dysfunctional relationship. <br /><br />And I'm sorry but "The Fame Monster" is twenty times the album that either installment of Robyn's hideous "Body Flop" could ever hope to be. <br /><br />Having said all that I really wish Gaga would go away and hide under a rock for a year. She's becoming extremely annoying now and desperately needs to re-invent herself again.
