@ TOKYODIAMONDS -

If you haven't noticed...Gaga stopped covering her eye a long, long time ago. It's been almost a year since then. Stop trying to read into the 'illuminati, gaga's a controversy' bullshit. She has her own ideas and she applies them to everything she does. This also goes in strong, strong correlation with the 'Gaga Is Not Art' comment made by Paul.

First of all, people are comparing Gaga to Madonna because of the fact that they both have the same influence, are extremely controversial figures, and also share the same negative flags waved at them for being more assertive with their ambitions and what they create. Gaga 'is' an artist in every way, shape and form. She isn't trying to act like 'Christ' at all.

If anything, you're completely misreading her costume choices. There are metaphors behind them. Not only that, but what gives you any right to dictate that people should only fit your standards? Just because you're not used to seeing something so grandiose from a single individual on a regular day basis or most of the time does not mean that it suddenly isn't allowed to exist.

From the moment Gaga exploded into the mainstream, she's been pushing her looks as she gained more fame and power. Before, her record company was trying to put a lid on her creativity. Now since its obvious that the world adores her, she doesn't hold back.

She not only does that for her fans.
Not to gain attention, but to show that you don't *have* to act or look like a standard cookie cutter replica of other people.

Questioning Gaga's originality only shows that you're not yet prepared to accept that she is proving to people that we can just be ourselves without social constriction.

Think out of the box for a change.
Stop trying to criticize the first person who's managed to do it without failing and feeding to your own insecurities.
