How Lady Gaga Became Famous
NYMag has an excellent piece on how Lady Gaga became Lady Gaga.
One of the comments reads…
“Uh, about time this article was written by “New York” magazine. Bitch had to go conquer the world before you got to your Smith-Corona electric typewriters about a local girl?”
Bad on you NYMag. It’s a sad fact of life, but no one is going to listen to you until everyone is listening to you. But good for Gaga.
Are You Goo Goo For Gaga?
Not a day goes by that I don’t hear something about Lady Gaga. Recently she passed out more than once on stage. Being jet lagged was the reason she gave on an Australian radio show and she stated “I’d rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out”. Lady Gaga also has Donny Osmond up in arms this week denouncing her latest video with Beyonce for the song Telephone. He’s “upset as a parent” at the “profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity and graphic violence” in the video. Lady Gaga just made internet history and set a record. Three of her videos posted online, Poker Face, Bad Romance and Just Dance, have received a combined one billion views. She is extremely savvy when it comes to marketing and is a media sensation.
Why Taylor Swift Rocks
WORDS BY JessCe
:\
When people ask me what kind of music I listen to I usually respond with “everything but country” but I do honestly like Taylor Swift. Maybe I just want to like her because everyone else seems to have such an issue with her.
One reason I like her is because she started trying to get her career off the ground when she was eleven. Some of the artists on the radio got there based more on their looks or family (Cough, Miley Cyrus, cough) than anything else. Also, a lot of eleven year olds would have given up after the first five record labels rejected them and went on with their awkward phases in private.

Christopher Walken Performs “Poker Face”
First it was Cartman, and now Walken.
Don’t you wish Walken was your dad or at least somehow connected to your family tree. I can see him playing the weird uncle who’s always scaring the children.
Before Lady Gaga was famous…
…she didn’t look so bad. Whatever the case, there’s a no-hate-policy on Lady Gaga on this blog. Enjoy
I can never hate Lady Gaga
The homie D-rock sent me this video of Lady Gaga performing on Ellen, mostly so we can clown on her headpiece. But watching the video, it just wasn’t in me. From the moment she sang her first note on that piano, all evil intent was terminated. Her voice has so much range that you can’t knock her for her vocal chops. And the way she posished herself on that piano, guys would be nitpicky to be complaining about that. My point is…it’s just way too hard to hate on her. While many people would denounce her for her fashion decisions, I would, and I think some would agree, call her one of the truly avante garde. For the past 7 or 8 months while she’s been in the public eye, she hasn’t responded to any venom thrown at her direction, slowly reaching radio repeat status. She’s proven herself to be a bona fide showwoman and her appearance on Ellen is the accumulative result of all her passion and hard work.
And this has nothing to do with the fact that I met her once…
Ok maybe a little.
Fast backward in time
