Consolator

What?

Gaga has strong convictions -- she's been the target of much criticism from other artists as well as groups. Her concerts have been repeatedly protested by religious groups because of her strong advocacy work of gay rights. I don't know where you live (if even in the US), but where I live, to stand up for gay rights puts you in the position to make LOTS of enemies. Had Gaga only cared about album sales, she would make safe, slightly less sex-obsessed music and would not comment on any sort of political / religious issue. I think by being pro-active in such issues, it shows that she does in fact have convictions and guts.

The last time I checked, whether you like it or not, Gaga is in fact an artist. The definition of artist is someone who essentially works in the arts. Singing, dancing, song-writing are included in that. Are you really one of those people that has that snooty pre-conceived "Well, I don't think she should be called an artist" ?

I do not like very much metal music, does that mean I go into the metal forum ****ting all over the artists saying that it's not art? That's juvenile. Note, I'm not saying you shouldn't criticize artists. Let's make better points than "I don't think she's an artist." I'm surprised that more people have not mentioned how predictable she has gotten as of late.
