Just because she's famous and just because so many people love her, doesn't mean that everyone who has something to say otherwise can't say what they feel. Going around telling everyone to shut up just because you like her is silly, just accept the fact that you like her and allow everyone else their opinions. Granted, there are the people who have nothing nice to say and like I said, complain solely for the sake of complaining, that's when the defense is at least a little bit appropriate.

Gaga is not the only star who is sexual, there's Rihanna, Katy Perry and Christina. And furthermore, why post all the unrelated stuff when it's a music forum. If a person hates Gaga so much then maybe they should not post about her or state an opinion and leave it at that.

I definitely agree with you about the over zealous hate. I think it's inappropriate and honestly quite obnoxious. I'm not sure what you mean about the sexual stars, I think I just didn't read the previous argument, because I'm sure I'd agree with you on that part as well.
I think that even if it's a bit unrelated music wise, she still is a musician, so talking about her is still kind of considered music banter, no?

When you make it more than about just the music you have to expect people to judge it on that too. The reason people are bringing up unrelated stuff is because that unrelated stuff is what she uses to get attention. Without that she'd just be one woman putting out disposable pop music with thousands of other women doing the same thing and probably getting a fraction of the attention & hype, if any at all.

I feel like that always happens here and in some of the other pop threads. Like there are reasons to like and dislike a person. Disliking them because they're popular shouldn't be one of them.
