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.

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!

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.
