Genuinely love Lay Gaga, all the time. I think it's a good sign for the music industry that someone can be this fucking over the top again. It's not even my kind of music normally, I just dig what she does.
With that said, I never took her as the serious statement type. It doesn't necessarily help that she approached it from her usual bombastic direction. So I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Meat suit, while interesting, and definitely Gaga, may take away from any intended sincerity from what she's trying to communicate.
Thank you. Just thanks so much. You are one of the few people in this thread who makes non-ignorant, non generally stupid comments. To all the people who say Lady Gaga is a stupid, insane run of the mill pop star you couldn't be more wrong and just plain ignorant. You say she has no talent, yet she is a great pianist and if you listen to her actually sing has an awesome voice. You claim she is stupid, yet as a young artist garnering no fans she decided to take it upon herself to be unique and ridiculous. She borrowed ideas from some of the greatest performers in music history and is now one of the most popular artists.
Say you don't like her music and her look and I can accept that but claim she has no talent and I will tell you you're ignorant and stupid.
I think this video is a nice fuck you to those people. Gaga is singing on her own, playing piano and clearly having fun. Not only proving she has talent but above all else enjoys what she does.
OT- Oh and the way I look at it the meat represents that gay people are not treated as equal humans thus in a way treated like meat. The fact they aren't allowed to be openly gay is kind of like the military saying that gays are lesser humans. That is at the very least the way I interpret it.
