CB thinks Lady Gaga is full of it. I’ll admit to having a higher Gaga-tolerance, but Gaga’s antics at the Grammys might have been a little bit too much, even for me. First off, I’m not one of the many, many, many people who minds that Gaga sounds a lot like vintage Madonna. Madonna no longer makes music that sounds like her old stuff, so there’s a void to be filled. Is “Born This Way” a complete rip-off of “Express Yourself”? Eh. They’re similar. Very similar. But my biggest problem with “Born This Way” is that it is merely a decent pop song. That’s it. Gaga pushes it like the song is going to redefine pop music and become an instant classic. It just isn’t. You can even see it in the Grammy performance – this song is as cookie-cutter as it gets, and it doesn’t even inspire anything more newsworthy as a dumb egg gimmick:
She even looks like vintage Madge. Ugh. Dances like her too, although to give Gaga some credit, Gaga does seem more acrobatic and more like a gymnast than Madge ever did.
Also, when Gaga won for Best Pop Vocal Album, she thanked Whitney Houston, NOT MADGE. “I want to say thank you to Whitney Houston…When I wrote ‘Born This Way’ I imagined you were singing it because I wasn’t secure enough to see myself as a superstar.” Okay, CB is right. Gaga is full of it.
