As somebody who is extremely into Kenneth Anger-style non-narrative cinema, that's how I see it.

Besides, it doesn't stop the fact that her songs are very shallow, and it's really a distraction to how exceptionally shallow they are.
Lady Gaga does have a lot of style. But as for no substance, well, it's pop music. Pop music can get shallow and vapid, and can have no substance, but that's really characteristics of the genre itself.

It's controversy after controversy with her. It sells and is the only reason why she's had any success.

Well, der cos she can't sing to have her life and she/he is an ugly so and so!
These controversies only happened recently, though. It's not like she's doing it on purpose.

And I think Lady Gaga can sing. And she is certainly not ugly.

Still, Gaga is a disgrace for other reasons. I honestly just see her as just this sort of sleazy cokehead con-artist who will literally do anything for money. She may support the gays but it's obviously because they're a more stable long term audience than the particularly fickle teenie boppers who are intended to grow out of things quickly. If this were Germany in the 1940s she'd probably be singing about how much she hates the Jews. Really, anything for money. Typical carbon copy sleaze.
Godwin's Law.

And you can't say that for sure. I'm pretty sure Lady Gaga isn't pandering to anyone.

Yet, she's making intentionally vapid music for commercial gain. She's pandering to whoever hands out the cash, and that just happens to be gays. I'm not calling her a Nazi. I'm saying she doesn't care what she's writing, because she's 100% pandering. If her audience were Klansman she'd sing about how blacks, and immigrants are ruining the country.

Well, Lady Gaga's bisexual, so I always assumed she wrote for gays because she could relate to them.

I assumed she's only vaguely bicurious, and is flat out lying to maintain an image. It's not uncommon for her to fabricate things to help sustain the illusion of legitimacy.

I believe that's how it is....the same can be said for Nicki Minaj well no it's even worse with her. She's not even bi-curious. She puts out the image that she's bi but she's straight and has been with the same boyfriend for years.
