I recently got wind of yet again all the frenzy around Lady Gaga this time in reaction to her newest video. How she is not giving you anything and just copies people and is a mannequin...
ya know what I say... take it for what it is..
ENTERTAINMENT
is Lady Gaga here to change the world?
encourage gay right.. si. inspire fashionistas worldwide... si.
but
Cure AIDS?
decrease unemployment in America?
stop the war?
no
she is here to entertain you.
Put on some cute shit. Do a two step and make music that makes you wanna shake ya ass while drunk on the dance floor after a long week of dealing with the job/ boss you hate or lack there of.
POP music
I do continue to cringe every time I hear her refer to her self as art but at the same time i know its all --- flashing lights. Granted her whole thing is to take a "Warhol" approach to pop culture but there is a thin line between the artist and the entertainer.
and I accept that. Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Ciara etc etc
although they are making great strides for the employment of the image of the sexy yet strong female public image.. (with the knowledge that
the radio, television etc are all controlled systems of media)...
they are still at the end of the day
just
HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
yes indeed art and entertainment bleed over a lot << click here >>
but please let's all
read a book, visit a Museum, read a newspaper or two and
take it for what it is
