…Yeah, okay, Lady GaGa. We get it. YOU’RE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT.
Really, though, when a pop star can break into the crawler feeds on all major networks without having landed in rehab first, that takes some doing.
Have you heard? Lady Gaga is slightly abnormal! Via Yahoo News
Stealing the show before your local awards show even stars used to belong to the Swan Lake- based world of Bjork, who swept into the 2001 Academy Awards wearing, well, a beak. GaGa saw the beak and raised her the entire egg. It’s a play on her newly-dropped “Born This Way,” but seriously– come on.
I’m writing right into her Autotuned hands, of course, by even blogging about this. This is Marketing 101: We’re discussing the woman and passing the above photo around the internet, and you can’t even see her in it. But it’s a bad Saturday Night Live cold open skit waiting to happen, and you know this is going to hit the water coolers like a monsoon on Monday morning. No way around it.
In the meantime, you have to wonder just what Ms. Germanotta’s aim is, her and her meat dress (she does like her major food groups, does she not?) Is she participating in media hype, commenting on it, or mocking it? Or by doing the two latter, does she then, by default, endlessly become one with the former?
What’s interesting about stunts like this are that we have no idea how her PR people plan to keep topping themselves. I was highly amused recently to read an article which shrieked that Lady Gaga is but a sex-based poseur, not a real artist like that scrapes-by-only-on-her-talent Madonna. Check back with me in about a decade and we’ll see if Stefani is still around, or propping up a judge’s panel on the still-sputtering-along American Idol.
