While you're at it, help me out with Kanye West as well. TIA!

I thought everyone loved drag queens?

She's a hot tranny mess, so the gays love her, which in turn makes her a pop star. She's like the new Madonna. No discernable talent, but she puts on a show. I do kind of love "Just Dance". It makes me happy. :lol:

While you're at it, help me out with Kanye West as well. TIA!
No clue as I've never heard anything he's done other than being an a-hole to Taylor Swift at some awards show. :shrug:

I don't know about Lady Gaga, but Kanye West has an easy answer. This #### right here was the bomb (of course, that was back when saying 'the bomb' was acceptable).

Odd, I was just looking up various videos on you tube and ran across a few of hers. They all sound the same; they all have that computer generated sound, but at first, catchy... then tiresome after a few listens.

She is no Pink, Christina... etc. that has variety in her songs and sound and I believe she'll fade out before to long!

Lady Gaga who? That is what they will be saying next year around this time!

And that is his only good song, IMO. Now, he is just an uppity you know what!

This #### right here

:twitch:

That was pretty scary.

I thought she was born a hermaphrodite?

And that is his only good song, IMO.

So...his other songs are worse than that?

Gaga is over the top and raunchy, that equates to fame these days. A couple of her tunes are OK though :lol: West is trash, all angry black guy hype.

So...his other songs are worse than that?

IMO, yes.

And I don't care for 'Gold Digger' personally, but it is one of his better songs, IMO and the one I think of when I hear Kanye West. He is another 'computer generated' artist with flashy videos that outweigh the singers talent.... IMO

I thought she was born a hermaphrodite?
I don't think that's true. :lol:

As for lady gaga not sure I dont like her/him myself. And for Kanye lol he had a few good songs I believe Jesus Walks was the best he had. :evil:

I don't think that's true. :lol:

I don't either. Lady Gaga has always been a huge supporter of gays, so they have always liked her. She credited them for her success. Like I said, I just so happened to be reading about different artist just before seeing this thread. :lol:

That's not even friggin music. My cat has more talent then that in the tip of his tail.

There's some good advice in there.

'18 years, 18 years, she got one of your kids, got you for 18 years' :lmao:

But, can he/she make the dance floor look like a can of packed sardines? :lol:

I'm with you! I have no idea. :shrug:

What about that Disco Stick song. "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick..." No idea who penned that one.

Okay. :lol:

50 Cent did a song called 'Magic Stick' that was pretty popular in clubs.

I got the magic stick
I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice
I hit the baddest chicks
Shorty don't believe me, then come with me tonight
And I'll show you maaagic

hehe yea, im white and dont rly like his music wanted to see if anyone else knew about that song good job you did :buddies:. but I guess if I really had to pick a good song by him it probably be Through The Wire. Oh also he ruins songs in my opinion, for example Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger sheez. :cds:

Gaga is over the top and raunchy, that equates to fame these days. A couple of her tunes are OK though :lol: West is trash, all angry black guy hype. Makes me glad I'm out of touch with modern music. :twitch:

Give me Queen's Radio Gaga.........

Makes me glad I'm out of touch with modern music. :twitch:

:high5:
But once you get into the meat of the songs, what they're about.... it's kind of scary and sad to pick apart the lyrics.

24. “Drain You” – Nirvana: Thought to be just another song about heroin, is actually about a case in which one twin baby stole the nutrients from its twin while in the womb, resulting in one stillbirth.

:twitch:

Who knew Cobain was so deep. :shrug:

Who knew Cobain was so deep. :shrug:

Six Feet Under.

WTF?

2. “Lola” – The Kinks: Thought to be about a beautiful woman, actually inspired by an incident in which Kinks’ manager Robert Wace spent a drunken night dancing with a transvestite he mistook for a woman.



By who? Is there anyone on the planet who thought, after hearing the song just once, that it was about a woman???

:tap:

I prefer Weird Al's version of the song, but if I find out it really wasn't about Yoda and it actually had some secret meaning, I'm going to be heart broken :ohwell:

Ummm, I like Lady Gaga actually...well, Paparazzi anyway :shrug:

Ummm, I like Lady Gaga actually...well, Paparazzi anyway :shrug:

I like her too. :shrug: I like her a good bit. From what I've heard she was grown in the NY club scene so it's reasonable to assume she's very familiar with dance music and knows what sells.

Her best look. Sexxxy. :lmao:

I knew I liked you! :love:

I can't stand Lady Gaga. Not so much her music (as in the beat) but her lyrics are awful. The first time I heard my daughter sing "I wanna take a ride on you disco stick" I flipped. I turn the station if she comes on now. I didn't like her on AI because she had Adam Lambert written on her outfit and I didn't think that was nice as she was a guest on the show and shouldn't have shown a preference. JMO. She only supported him because he's gay.

I love Lady Gaga :getdown:

Someone please help me get it. Help me understand how someone with no discernible talent or even entertainment value becomes a popular recording artist.

Lady Gaga's music should've been banned from airwaves. Her song "Love Game" is not appropriate to air on mainstream radio..... period.

Kanye West's music is pretty good, but his dislike for white people is transparent.

Lady Gaga is unapologetically pop. She's a guilty pleasure simply for mindless beat driven music good for tasks where the physical overrides the mental.

She kinda reminds me of a female version of Prince.

There's some truth to that element, based on the shocking styles and the ahead of the game musicality... but Prince is an ingénue and Lady Gaga is pop for the sake of pop. One will outlast the other.

That being said... my call tone is "Boys Boys Boys" and my ring tone is "Paparazzi" :lol:

See, and his "dual gender" gig was years ahead of its time. That's about 50% of the Emo movement, gender neutrality, androgeny, the lines between male/female gay/straight being blurred to create a global presence.

You got that part right.

:shrug: Most of it's mindless with hints of cleverness. You cannot disagree with, for example, this line:
"The story of us always starts the same with a boy and a girl and a HUH and a game!" (huh referring to the previous line of " I can see you staring there from across the block with a smile on your mouth and your hand on your huh.")

And Wikipedia is not used as a valid source for any actual studies.

That being said, forgive the incorrect spelling. Additionally, David Bowie was the father of said movement, however, in retrospect, I'm sure most people would agree he is much more girly and a lead in to the 80's hair bands, where the guys looked like chicks but acted like alpha males.

Um, no? :confused: Relationships always start the same... with a boy... and a girl... (unless it's same sex then it's boy-boy or girl-girl)... and a "huh" (as in, sexual attraction)... and a game. Anyone who says differently is lying.

Or maybe you just don't have enough life experience to fathom anything else.
All of life is a game... it's 50% luck and 50% skill at navagating the ever changing rules of society.

I mean... it's not like I heralded the lyrics "Boys boys boys/We like boys in cars/Boys boys boys/Buy us drinks in bars/Boys boys boys/With hairspray and denim/Boys boys boys/We love them!" as gospel.

In my experience, the story of a couple always starts the same... with a partner and a partner and a sexual tension and a navagation of society's mating rituals, which are not unlike a game.

Or maybe you just don't have enough life experience to fathom anything else.
