Above are the just-leaked covers for Lady Gaga's November 24, 2009 album re-release. The Fame Monster covers are one part homage to The Munsters and one part Man Ray's portraits of Russian ballerina La Nijinska. Look below:
Can you handle the truth though? Because if I were to write Lady Gaga a personal e-mail, it would look something like this....

Re: Best Career Advice
Dear Lady Gaga,
Please stop trying so hard. It's way too much and none of us want to see you reach the point of over-saturation this early in your career. So pull back a little. Please.
The blood on the face at your MTV VMAs performance. The outfit made of decapitated Kermit The Frogs. The black mask you wore while doing an interview on German television. The metallic orbit contraption which kept getting in your way while playing the piano on Saturday Night Live. Your hair wrapped like a bow tie on your head. Your improvised non-melodies when performing your greatest song, Paparazzi live. I'm all for art, but all of this just comes off contrived. "Look at me, I'm different!".
You are so talented and you don't need the gimmicks and adage. Less can be more. Try it - just once. You'll like it. Honest.
Thanks.

p.s. A true friend would tell you the same.
Thanks Andrew:') I'm all for art and incorporating it in the presentation, but when people are talking more about the costume consistently than the music, that's where I have a problem. Girl needs to put the focus back on the music. I challenger to dress down, put herself in front of the mic and just do it.
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga is not a pop bitch pretending to be something else.

She's got you all fooled.
She does all this weird shit, because she comes from a traditional of doing weird shit.
Is this too much saturation

Let's see Mariah do this.
Good for her! I'm proud of her doing this.
ReplyDeleteI just want to make one thing clear "Anonymous", I do love Lady Gaga and I have been championing her since her first single leaked last year. I just don't see the relevance in the over-the-top behaviour or having to constantly out-do herself. The music and dancing alone are enough to sell it in my opinion.
And please don't bring Mariah into this. We all need to respect that she is a legend and works hard. She also loves her gay fans and doesn't necessarily need to speak on a podium to show her support.
