With the latest Gaga installment it is time to create a permanent Languish Outpost for the reigning queen of pop music.
In here I shall post various tidbits, trivia, gossips, clips, lyrics, etc. Feel free to comment - or deride as is the Languish way.

Let's begin with her newest clip: "YoÜ and I"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9YMU0WeBwU&ob=av2e (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9YMU0WeBwU&ob=av2e)
Once again Gaga offers us a unique blend of symbology - and once again the imagery is very powerful. In fact I would venture to say that when it comes to her clips, the music attached to those is somewhat accessory. It doesn't really matter that the images shown appear to be disconnected from the lyrics. Let's call it a second narrative; a sub-text of the official song. There is something Dali-esque about the multi-layered, aka subconscious, symbols she uses to express the very simple idea embodied in her 'Born This Way' album: "You are who you are - nobody can change that - so accept it and others will follow suit".
I particularly loved the opening scene - that manufactured junkie, bleeding her high heels out, seen from a distance in a desert haze...
All praise to Gaga; Prophetess, Queen and Goddess!

You should make a corresponding shrine thread for the Goo Goo Dolls.
You asked for it Grallon...

No idea who those Dolls are.
In any case, here's a clip of Gaga singing "Hair" at the Paul O'Grady Show last June. Hair raising - so to speak. :P

Meh, I liked the accoustic version of that song that came out last year better.
And here's a rendition of 'Edge of Glory' performed at the Howard Stern' Show in July.

And Viper - Normand D'Amour... tabarnak!

Here's an homage to Gaga, a film thesis for the Los Angeles Film School, based on Gaga's "Bloody Mary" song. Quite well done for a non professional piece of work.

It's a bit obsessive, but I don't get a serial killer vibe from it.

Well no, but I could see him tucking his unit up to sew with looped Lady Gaga videos playing.
Grallon truly is the Canadian Slargos.
Too bad Gaga's latest record sucks.

She's had two decent songs(Poker Face and Bad Romance) and a bunch of crap.

I saw this thread earlier and decided I should go away to think about my response. However, this above post still remains the exact same response as I was thinking.
I feel like one of the original Christian priests setting up shop among pagans. :P

There can be no untruth when it comes to Art. A worthier deity than the murderous scumbags most people worship don't you think?

The bitch has some fucking funky beats... I give her that.

I've never actually listened to one of songs. I just know her as the "The woman who wears meat".

I listened to Gaga's new album on my drive up to Cape Cod. I'd rate it higher now then when it first came out. Solid B effort.

That's something that a Randian would say, to try and piggyback off of my popularity and credibility. You've just outed yourself.
The new Gaga video: 'Marry The Night' is coming!
Here is the 'Prelude Pathétique' - the intro to the upcoming video.

That bitch is simply glorious!

Has she gotten some plastic surgery in the last year? She looks way hotter in that Lonely Island video than I ever remember her being before.

Dance in the Dark is really good; Alessandro and Born This Way are okay (for an Ace of Base cover and an overproduced pander to the base, respectively). I think there's a couple of others I'm forgetting.
Quote from: TimShe looks way hotter in that Lonely Island video than I ever remember her being before.
She's always had an amazing body so far as I know, and good face. Why, is her nose smaller? That'd be kind of a shame. I liked the distinctiveness.

Face always seemed to have a bit of a manish cast or something, looks more feminine to me somehow.
Maybe it's just me though.

I thought she looked pretty great in the Bad Romance video (CGI monster face excepted).

She's got a topless photo shoot in a magazine now. The topless shot with Tony Bennett also in it. :lol:
Is Bennett also topless?
