Double post:Does it matter if she isn't a "looker" / good-looking?Not everyone singer/popstar/artist has to be good looking. There are a lot of artists like Britney Spears, Ke$ha, Katy Perry and Rihanna, who are gorgeous but don't have brilliant vocalists or have fantastic singing voices.Then there are artists like Amy Winehouse, Adele, Florence Welch (And The Machine), Gaga and Madonna, who aren't terribly attractive or have sexy bodies but have brilliant voices, write amazing songs and are very smart and creative.I don't know about you, Pluk, but I'd rather have the second category of artists. They have more credability and are more talented than the former.

So you're saying only Michael Jackon is allowed to make a mini-film for his videos and no other artist IN THE ENTIRE WORLD are allowed to do the same because that would qualify as pretencious and self-indulgent?

Sure they can try but this video is just complete nonsense. I feel no emotional involvement and it is neither engaging or entertaining. I don't like her but at least her older videos were somewhat captivating. Fitzgerald did the reckless car imagery nine flipping decades ago.

Erm, I didn't say anything of the sort.The point I was making is MJ was making amazing, groundbreaking, original meaningful music so his film-like music vids sat well with them. I know all these things are personal opinion but for the most part GaGa is knocking out catchy little throw away pop songs that would better suit a standard pop vid. I find this pretentious because it is all art and no substance, it just means nothing and sits poorly next to the song itself.

Not everyone has to be good looking, but then not everyone is shaking their junk in my face via a music video. Again, it's all personal opinion (Spears has looked like a rotten dirty scrubber for years, Florence is one of the most beautiful women in the world, Madonna was until she started trying to look like Skeletor), but the likes of Adele and Florence have a bit of class about them and let the music do the talking, they don't try to shove their 'unconventional' looks down my throat with overblown weird long porn pop promos.

I can't wait for the Monster Ball, and am certainly trying to get into the monster pit - for the full experience. Also the thing I like that she said was at every show someone in the monster pit will be chosen to go backstage with her for an hour after the show - How fab is that!On other news which got me very excited as I like these type of games and have the Michael Jackson and Black Eyed Peas one (and at the moment take this with a pinch of salt as the rumours say it should be confirmed at E3) Is that currently in development set to be released end of this year is the Lady Gaga Experience - I will be one of the first to grab that if it actually becomes reality.

There were rumours flying this morning that Manchester sold out in 50 seconds. Doubt it was quite that quick but probably not far off - when she was here in May last year she sold out the O2 in 3 1/2 minutes so yeah, Twickenham is about 55,000 how they have the seating for this gig so about 7 - 10 mins wouldn't surprise me. No one will beat Taylor selling out MSG in 59 seconds though <3

So ArtPOP Is the likely name of the new album - sounds a bit like she might go back to the sounds of the fame a little bit which is good as I do t think the general public really got born this way but exciting stuff - new single supposedly scheduled for September - which makes me think us Brits may get a world exclusive at her tour as she always states how the uk is special to her

So what do people think of the new album title and who is going to see gaga in twickenham on September 9th

No one's posted here since the ball :blink:

Wasn't it amazing!? Her vocals where the best they've sounded on the tour in mine and many other's opinions.

Was sad to see people leave after Scheisse not knowing she was still going to perform TEOG and MTN.. Was even sadder that she had to cut out the whole meat-dress section (Americano, Alejandro & Poker face)

No one will beat Taylor selling out MSG in 59 seconds though <3

I thought Justin Bieber already had? :glare:

I would also like to mention while Lady G has been working on an ARTPOP she has been letting her Little Monsters have some music to feed their needs!

This one recently got released in a special game Lady G herself put onto the little monsters website and its Mother Monster herself putting her vocals on one of Zedd's (another one of my favourite artists) tracks, and it is just fantastic:

(I believe that version has been sped up but never less, amazing)

Also I've been searching around the interweb recently for "Mash-Ups" of two songs from each of my all time favourite artists, Ellie G & Lady G and came across this beauty

Poker Lights!

So excited for ARTPOP - 2013!

It's been a while since this topic has been updated but here's the lowdown:

 

1. Her 2013 album, ARTPOP was well-recieved but under-performed compared to previous albums

2. Faced huge media backlash

3. ARTPOP tour does well

4. Releases a #1 collaborative Jazz covers album with Tony Bennett (her 3rd consecutive #1 release)

5. Is making another Jazz album with Tony and is working on her 4th album which is rumoured to have rock or jazz-pop music

6. Reunited with RedOne and is working with Diane Warren, Fernando Garibay and Nile Rodgers and is said to come out in Q1 2016.
