I needed this from her as I've been on the fence as of late but she gave a great account of herself and humanized a lot of the artifice. One might not be a fan of all of it but I appreciate her for who she seems to be and what she's doing. Very intelligent act..., I couldn't be more different to her in terms of my artistry and what I'm doing with my album but I feel a lot of kinship with her ideologies and this interview shows me she totally gets the medium she's put herself in, which love them or like them cannot be said of poor souls such as Britney and Michael whose talent and wide eyed dreams of the industry is what brought them to their knees. Really loved what she said about drawing attention to what you want as a means of subverted attention from what u don't want..., despite Gaga's level of fame I truly believe she's setting herself up in a way that will allow her to just walk away from the industry without being hounded once she's done with it. Britney and Michael sold too much of their true selves to be able to claim anything back at the end of their time at the top. Make no mistake 'Gaga' is a character, however it's been created by a real person of substance who knows exactly what they're doing with it and probably what they'll revert back to once they're done with it.
