What ya' think of Lady Gaga in meat?

[jackmell]

You guys weren't interested in Lady Gaga this week on Vogue? What do you guys think about it? I gotta' definite opinion about it but would like to know what some of you think first. Just finished listening to "Telephone". I like lots of the songs she sings.

 

[turbo]

I don't think of her at all. IMO, she is vacuous and untalented, and tries to make an entire career out of oddness. It was OK when Elton John dressed outrageously, wore goofy glasses and hats, etc, because he really had the chops (piano and vocals) to back it up. She doesn't.

 

[Pengwuino]

What the hell is a 'gaga'?

 

[jackmell]

Ok, I think you guys are gonna' be mean on me so lemme' me get in my opinion right now:

I think she looks very sexy in that pose. The meat it mostly of a psychological effect. It's not dripping blood and horrific but rather dry-like and hard to even notice it's meat. Don't get me wrong, I think Lady Gaga has some really quality meat on her, and I really like her pose and the expression on her face. :)

 

[turbo]

...and the expression on her face. :)

You mean that constant trout-pout grimace? Yuck!

 

[waht]

I'm not into her work at all, but I know that she's able to captivate millions of people.

So that makes her a successful artist:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga

Gaga was ranked the 73rd Artist of the 2000–10 decade by Billboard.[1] As of August 2010, Gaga has sold more than 15 million albums and 51 million singles worldwide.[2][3] In May 2010, Time magazine included Gaga in its annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. In June 2010, Forbes listed Gaga fourth on its list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world; she is also ranked as the second most powerful musician in the world.[4][5]

She's POWERFUL, INFLUENTIAL and she captivates MILLIONS of people around the WORLD!
What does she do? She sings songs.

I don't get it.

 

[Hurkyl]

At least she's not wearing fur. That would be unethical!

Perhaps this will put things in more perspective:

Oh, I get it. She and her fans are mentally disturbed.

i grok spoiled meat. Jem has more talent and isn't skanky.

What the hell is a 'gaga'?

slightly mad, typically as a result of old age, infatuation, or excessive enthusiasm

So it must be referring to her old age.

Not much to think about.

In response to the question. :zzz:

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

She makes some great club hits and that is the music scene at the moment.

One more reason to avoid such places - that and guys who move too much - and loud people.

 

[jackmell]

You guys are kinda' gettin' off topic and just raggin' on her and not the picture. But that's ok if it's my thread and the mods don't mind. Really, I'm referring to her looks, the fashion statement, the pose, her sex-appeal, and of course the meat she has on her and the fact it's Vogue and not Playboy.

I believe she would have looked nicer in a red-laced negligee that looked similar to the meat but she's extreme-fashion and wanted to do something off the scale I think.

 

[rootX]

her sex-appeal

none.

It's like so many other similar pictures.

She wear too much make up IMO. Maybe if I was 30 years younger I might find her more appealing.

I think most 'fashion statements' are silly, and most runway models look ill and not very attractive.

I prefer old-fashioned and simple elegance, not flashy.

 

[nucleargirl]

It would be more interesting if she was eating the meat... raw
posing in meat is not really new... so I don't really get it - its not new or interesting and so not really fashion... for me anyway.
its kind of saying: I am meat, and I am wearing meat! ? its kinda gross - she's wearing another animal's body on her body... but one is dead and the other is alive... hm so kinda arty!
She's not really sexy tho, and the meat doesn't help...
would be more interesting if she was wearing octopus! that would be more hot!

Any sane person above 14 automatically fails to give a crap about some pop star's irrelevant attention whoring.

This isn't about fashion, it is about provocativeness and showmanship. Going back to Turbo's post about Elton John, I liked him in spite of his circus act, but I guess it takes a circus act to stand out, even when you're as good as Elton.

I don't know the first thing about her music or talent, so I can't comment on that part.

She actually has some talent.

and in her case, what provocativeness?

You know what's funny.. she is so much more attractive and better sounding in that video and style.. Like a better version of Alicia Keys

 

[jackmell]

its kinda gross -

Why is is gross? It's not dripping red and smeared all over her face and stuff. Rather it was carefully placed on her body, or previously removed of all fluid, so as not to smear. Didn't you guys notice how it's so "cleanly" and stylishly placed on her body? I'm beginnin' to think you guys don't understand big business.

That's a sexy pose.

How does putting meat on your body get associated with "big business"? It's not sexy. If she draped a bunch of bananas over her body, it wouldn't be sexy either.

What the hell is a 'gaga'?

I'm pretty sure that it's a reference to the Radio Gaga radio station. (The same station that's referenced by the Queen song of that name)

 

[nucleargirl]

Why is is gross?

its gross cos its a dead animal on her... like wearing a carcass... that's kinda gross :p
its not the way its draped or her pose, its the fact of what it is.

this. unoriginal. although, she does seem to have some obsession with things related to blood.

but what i think it's really all about is money. and what i mean by that is, she's fairly unattractive. making a career out of being a sex symbol like madonna was never an option. so what choice did she have but to go weird ? even the apparent blood obsession is probably a contrived appeal to her target demographic.

Yeah, I agree she's not very attractive although I've seen pictures where she appears to look quite attractive like the photo below. That's something if I was 20-something, I'd be interested in at a club. And I do believe she does this extreme-fashion to take away from her face. However, I personally think she looks quite attractive and hot in that Vogue picture, the meat, well, how about BBQ?

 

[JaredJames]

Just skimmed through this article where she gives some comments; http://www.celebitchy.com/107047/lady_gaga_you_wont_ever_catch_me_in_sweatpants_and_a_hoodie/ and she admits "Everything I do is about getting a reaction."

Personally don't find her music too bad, but her music videos and shows are getting a little out of hand. Yes I agree, she certainly has a thing about blood and killing people.

EDIT: in her original stuff she's quite good looking, now she's overkill with costumes and makeup.

 

[Math Is Hard]

I think she should wear a bacon wrap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Ts4TtEwDc".

Mmmm! MIH needs an LED-illuminated bacon-coated hoop!

 

[jackmell]

I think she should wear a bacon wrap.

I'm afraid bacon is just not meaty enough for Ms. Superstar. I mean bacon to me would come across as cheap meat but Ms. Gaga is probably wearing thinly-sliced filet Mignon. She's a classy chick with quality meat. That's what the image is telling me.

Classy? Tacky & gimmicky come to mind. But tacky and gimmicky sells to kids. She made a risky move and it paid off for her big time.

 

[Astronuc]

She's musically talented. She should stick that and the presentation in the video Greg posted.

She doesn't need to be tacky or scantily clad unless she wants to appeal to people who go for scantily clad or tacky, which appears to be the case.

[lisab]

I don't follow pop culture, in fact I only recently learned of this artist, but I think she's aiming to be the next Madonna. I suppose there's nothing wrong with that. Lots of people leave behind the things they really love to follow the money - usually we call these people "lawyers" or "CEOs".

 

[zomgwtf]

Lady gaga is very talented. She can play piano and sing very well... I have no clue what you're going on about.

She does stuff to be provocative and grab attention, she just likes being weird and strives on being unique, so what? I don't find her particularly attractive but that's just me.

As well most of the clothing she wears is particularly to promote specific fashion artists, it's not like she designs her own damn clothes, get real.

I guess I must agree somewhat since I have 1 Lady Gaga song on my iPod, but 8 by Jem. Although I do have a Gaga ring tone so that might even the score a little. :)

 

[DaveC426913]

She is insane! Bodysurfing on her fans? Seems to me she's lucky she didn't get torn limb from boob and sold by the part on ebay.

You sir, are insane in the membrane

 

[jackmell]

Well what da' ya' expect the women in here to say? They're jealous of her. That's how women are. I mean if Ms. Evo post a nice picture of her daughter, they're all full of praise, pretty this and pretty that, but they're jealous of her too, just won't say anything cus' she's the queen bee in here, and they all what, her sister bees I guess, and that lil' Ms. NuclearGir is just like them from what I read.

But the guys in here, well I'm disappointed in them. Personally I think most of the guys in here think that's a hot picture but they just wanna' take the high-road and not fess up their true feelings. Private though, I think a good percentage of men would eat her meat raw right off her body. Might be Kobe beef sides since it's a Japan issue of the mag.

After being presented with her final award, Lady Gaga, wearing an outfit which appeared to be made of meat, revealed that her new album would be called Born This Way before singing part of its title song.

Personally, I find this the best picture ever! Lady Gaga is not as appealing.

 

[mugaliens]

IMO, she is vacuous...

Possibly. Possibly not. I've never had the opportunity to get to know her, so I can't say one way or the other. Do you know her personally? If not, how could you make such a judgement call from a distance, from seeing an interview or two?

...and untalented...

Hardly. One does not rise to the top of the charts and make millions of dollars by being "untalented."

So, +2, zomgwtf.

 

[nucleargirl]

Well what da' ya' expect the women in here to say? They're jealous of her.

not jealous :) though I wish I had her ability to pull herself out of a bad situation and her determination! She works hard and she can really sing so she deserves to be so successful. I guess she just enjoys wearing meat...

 

[jackmell]

she can really sing

Gee, is that another way of sayin', "I really like her music and love dancing to it but I don't wanna' agree with Jack about nothin' cus' that won't get me no points with ma' sister bees?"

 

[Norman]

My understanding of her is that she views herself as a performance artist and that everything she does in public she considers part of her art (music, acting, costuming, clothing design, etc). I dislike her music in general (not a fan of pop music in general), but I envy the way she takes her art to the extreme. I know it is not new, but to go all out and commit in that way is quite brave in my opinion.

Concerning this photo - I think the obvious interpretation is that posing, scantily clad, on the front of a magazine is presenting oneself as "meat," and then draping herself in meat is an acknowledgment and statement about being viewed only as meat. Just the obvious guess.

 

[nucleargirl]

This bee analogy doesn't really work in this context I don't think!
