for those who say that gaga is evil, or a spawn of the devil, you are way off base.Gaga brings to life the darker side of performance art,but it isn't anything close to devil worship. Yes, she bases her image off of sex , but what young woman doesn't in the entertainment industry? She has a voice, and she uses her voice to express her opinions about the world that we all live in, and i honestly think that 98% of what she is talking about in her art is true to life. Whether people like it or not, Gaga is going to be Gaga.It really wouldn't matter if she was famous or not and i admire her sense of self, and her right to her opinions. What does bashing her over the internet do for any of you? If you don't like her, ignore her. I think she has earned every bit of fame that she has acquired,and no, she hasn't been in the business for 20+ years like Madonna or grace jones, but she has definitely changed the entertainment industry since she has been around and that is not something to laugh at. No one in the world is anything like gaga, we can sit around and make comparisons all day, but in the end, everyone will fall short. Gaga may have drawn influences from women in the industry, but lets all face it,she is definitely in a category all her own.
