1. Isn't that the dance from Thriller?

Jazz hands/kitty claws

[merh]

12. also some of the choreography from Beyonce's Single Lady

which was not original as it was inspired by Bob Fosse's choreography as performed by his wife, Gwen Verdon, and two others.

[Sultana]

19. Nothing Beyonce does is original

I wonder if the chick still credits herself for writing 'Silent Night'.

Gwen Verdon and the other do it better....

28. She seemed more promising when she started out, I thought.

Especially with Destiny's Child, but even her early solo stuff looked like she would do more than she has. She has a good voice and knows how to sing, but instead of moving forward she chose to use it for easy money and fame, and only in over-produced pop hits that have become more and more bland over time. I don't really dislike her stuff, there's just nothing there to make me want to keep listening to it, if that makes sense. "Single Ladies" is catchy the first time you listen, but it's never more than just catchy. There's no individuality to it. You could hear a dozen other pop stars to do it the same way, and probably grab someone from any decent music school in the country to turn in the same level of performance. I don't know if she's just lazy, or if she doesn't have any imagination, or what.

Just my pointless observations.

[Swede]

2. She has talent.

She also has the look.

[ThomCat]

7. That is true.

That video is fucking awesome. The song is really shocking in a really good way, and the combination of styles and visuals really works. She has some real creativity to build all of this.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

14. So true. So true. nt

[blue_onyx]

3. I like Lady Gaga but that video is bad

Love the song though

[nolabear]

4. As another diva once said, "What's love got to do with it?"

Actually I liked it a lot. How responsible is she for the style and video content?

[EndersDame]

5. I love her clothes and videos but do not care for her voice or songs

much prefer Goldfrapp

35. I like this one by Goldfrapp

[LostInAnomie]

38. This is a good one too

It doesn't hurt that she's got amazing legs and a great ass too. :evilgrin:

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

8. I guess you have to like that sort of thing

does nothing for me

[VMI Dem]

9. She looks like and has the talent of Marilyn Manson.

Her music seems weirdly similar too.

[Generic Brad]

11. Then she must be good

I consider Marilyn Manson a great talent.

[Orrex]

13. Has he done any songs that weren't covers of other bands' songs?

I keed, I keed.



Actually, though he's not my favorite, I find him pretty consistently entertaining. And he's no dummy, either.

[Orrex]

10. YouTube sucks

Whenever I watch a video on there, it gets stuck about every five seconds and remains stuck for about ten seconds.

[Scurrilous]

30. You too?

I thought something was wrong with my computer.

[Zavulon]

15. No offense, but if you ever draw my name in a Secret Santa pool,

please don't get me any music as a present. I find the music as annoying than the video, which is saying a lot.

I will never understand this woman's appeal.

Again, no offense and nothing personal, I just can't stand this.

[Captain Hilts]

44. I agree. She's not amusing in ANY way. No wonder the world's lining up for Susan Boyle.

[madrchsod]

16. not bad but...i like kylie

[Fleshdancer]

17. Was she a Fembot at the very end?

:rofl:

The last scene had her in a charred bed next to her dead lover while she was casually sitting there while her breasts were giving off sparks. That was freakin' hilarious!

I see her as a performance artist first and a musician second. It's different and I respect it.

[jobycom]

18. She fascinates me.

Despite what the pseudo-iconoclast "Get off my lawn" crowd says, she can sing, and her songs usually have legitimate content. There are better singers, but there are a whole lot worse, including some of the "respected" cult favorites people like to vomit up as examples of "real talent."

But more fascinating is her mix of retro and modern, and the way she uses so many periods and styles for inspiration. She's obviously influenced by Queen, Annie Lennox, David Bowie, Madonna, and all the glam 80 pop stars, but she is influenced by movies and dance and style as well. She borrows liberally to create something new and does it without looking like she's plagerizing. That's what a lot of the longest-lived performers did--Elvis, Michael Jackson, Madonna, the Beatles. I don't think she's at that level, but the Beatles were still doing boy band pop hits a couple years into their fame, too. Who knows, she might get there.

My own little opinion. I stand by it. Cool video, either way.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

20. You should see her acoustic version of Poker Face if you haven't already,

she is very talented... and you're right, she said she was inspired by David Bowie and a lot of the glam rockers of the 80s.

[jobycom]

27. I've seen it. She took her name from a Queen song because someone said she sang like Mercury.

You can see what they were talking about in that version of Poker Face. That's what convinced me she understood the music she was doing, as opposed to just being a marketing ploy with a catchy producer.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

31. She always said Poker Face was about making love to her boyfriend while thinking about girls

lol. I'm sure that song means more than that...

[Moses2SandyKoufax]

37. She makes me envy the deaf and blind. n/t

[kid a]

21. love it

[jesus_of_suburbia]

22. Absolutely love this video. It reminds me of a video from the 90's (quality-wise).

Most videos today are awful. They aren't creative and their budgets are low because of the decline in music sales.

[targetpractice]

34. Exactly... I felt young again while watching it...

Like watching MTV in it's heyday.

[Orsino]

23. I cannot wait for the MST3K version.

I don't wanna be too much of a curmudgeon, or dump on fans, but I found this thing surprisingly and hilariously awful.

[Captain Hilts]

45. Me too. This one's just weird and boring. nt

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

24. That lady in insane

but in a very good way. She's taken Madonna's antics and upped them by a thousand points. Thanks for posting the link.

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. Weird. And it's got a hairless cat.

[Tikki]

26. Interesting.....

Glad to see THE POP Culture alive and well...

29. Lady GaGa IS amazing!

I love her. :bounce:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

32. She's a talented singer --

unlike so many others out there now, but she reminds me of those artists who can't get arrested playing it straight so they resort to over-the-top stagecraft.

"Stephani" is a far cry from "Lady Gaga" --

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

41. she was pranked on a show on MTV

seemed like totally different ppl.

[mzteris]

33. she kinda looks like

Orly Taint. . . except a whole damn lot prettier.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

36. hahahaha I noticed that too. nt

[begin_within]

39. It's like Madonna and Grace Jones had a baby.

[Captain Hilts]

42. Remember Deborah Harry's disco baby shower for Grace Jones?

[Deep13]

40. I need to get one of those white containers...

...to put on the roof of my station wagon.

[Captain Hilts]

43. That's dreadful.

[Skip Intro]

46. At first I saw her as the product of doing things Madonna might have done but didn't. But suddenly,

I see her as someone trying to be avante garde, within the genre.

And I like that. Not so sure about this song, wouldn't be on my Ipod if I had one. But I think I see the art now.

'Course, it could be the beers...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

47. Good Lord.

Wotinhell are these people smoking? Or shooting up?

It's bad stuff, whatever it is.
