Lady Gaga

Let me declare right now I love Lady Gaga. Honestly, I think its because I can't figure her out, which is probably her goal, to keep people guessing. Every performance, appearance she does she makes it a memorable one nonetheless.

If you look through every generation of music, there is at least one or maybe even more than one artist that dared to cross the line to express themselves, in recent times just in my short lifetime and just in my culture alone, there's been Madonna, Elton John, David Bowie, and duh, even the late Michael Jackson himself.

Note: I'm one of those pessimistic individuals who believe that as human beings, there is little to no creativity left in the world. Basically I feel that every theme that one can come up with, has been examined. (That's why I think I stick to the Classics, for some reason, to me they still remain their uniqueness). For example, look at all of the movies Hollywood puts out. I'm to the point where I can guess just by looking at the trailer, what the movie is about and almost exactly what's going to happen. Especially in romantic comedies.

Back to Lady Gaga...I consider myself to be a pretty open minded person. I'm also pretty individual and have the guts to stand myself and declare I want to do or that I like something that most people would not admit to. I think its cool how Gaga, does whatever she wants! For some artitsts you can definitly see how the people behind them kind of shaped them up to who they are and how they are perceived. A really good example of this is Britney Spears. You can clearly tell she followed obediently what she was told to do by her creative directors from a very young age-- probabaly not allowed to be herself, and well, as everybody can witness, she kind of got crazy, and lost herself. Lady G, clearly does what she wants, no (excuse my language), no fucking bullshit. She's herself, her own creative director, and even though there are plently of people that don't like it. She keeps on reinventing herself and lives up to her own standards.

As a woman of the 21st century...hmm, let me rephrase, as a Black woman of the 21st century, I think this concept is pretty cool. Breaking away from what everybody expects to express and be yourself to fulfill YOUR OWN LIFE and make YOUR OWN happiness. Because at the end of the day, it's about you (you know what I mean).

Funny thought -- of course you know there's all kind of rumors: that she's a man, a "hermaphrodite", gay, blah blah.. I recently saw her on the Jay Leno Show, and he asked her what was the most offensive rumor that's out about her. She said, it was the rumor that she's from Yonkers (a city in New York). I admire how some people can break out from others to create their own happiness and find humor and glamor in the ridiculousness of peoples ignorance.
