Born This Way Ball flopping all over the place in Brazil

Brazil.  While Lady Gaga stands on her hotel balcony throwing flowers to the small crowd below....


Or visiting the slums of Rio with a crowd of photographers for the most shameful photo op ever......


Because you can't visit the poor and do something nice without the whole fucking world knowing about it, right.  Sorry honey, Angelina you are not.

Paws Down is reporting that iMadonna donated thousands of tickets to her show while visiting the community.   

 DONATED!!!!  


She only donated the tickets because 50% of them didn't even sell!! That is absolutely disgusting!! What a subhuman, manipulative tactic to get the stadium to appear as if it's full. What a horrible, vile pig! Are there no lengths that this pond scum would go to for appearances? Apparently not.

Meanwhile, as she pulls stunts like this, this is what's really going on with her career in South America. Enjoy.

The big issue this week (and a few days ago) is the arrival of the Born This Way Ball to Brazil and subsequent supply for tickets, as there was no demand expected to see Lady Gaga shine on stage here in our little land. What makes me reflect on the reasons for this. It is not a matter of schadenfreude (truth be told, the girl is the favorite punching bag of the moment). But the truth is: Lady Gaga is boring. Too boring for my taste, and it looks like for many others.

There is a tear. Yes, there is. As much as the monsters do not want to admit and trivia out with the achievements of his diva, the truth is that we are tired of Lady Gaga. And the reasons for this are very simple: the girl suffers from an extreme case of narcissism, she saw her reflection in the lake and is about to drown. Lulu, a few years ago was singing "Do not take the character to bed, can end up being fatal," and that's exactly what Stefani did.


Actually, we do not know who is such Germanotta, since I never had the opportunity to meet her, know who Gaga, her persona. But while we do not know, because it covers more and more layers of different shades and shades.
 

The problem is that Stefani got lost inside of Lady Gaga. Each album, each clip is a trip to increasingly obscure recesses of character, and soon (if not already occurring), there will be no trace of the girl with dark hair who played the piano, dreaming of being famous making their music , that we learn to like it after the rise of Italian blonde who told us just to dance, everything would be fine.

In the era of internet, nothing is secret. I confess I sympathize more with Stefani and his ballads at the piano than with Mother Monster and its agenda-political esquizofrienica. From poker face the self-proclaimed hymns generation? I think not, baby.


An artist inspired by his art, but his art should be your muse, and not vice versa. The mistake made was whether to take very, very seriously. It is not that the public does not have the capacity to absorb or think about serious topics, but the character came to believe that was independent of the vehicle; Pinocchio think it's a boy, but is still only a wooden puppet, which requires his subjects to worship it thinks it deserves.


Gaga says she does everything for his fans, and makes a mistake gravísssimo to think, art should not be waiting for the result, but the result generate through your intention. Gaga demands that it be considered the anthem of the generation. Gaga drives fans who are "born that way" if they pay the bill for their expensive clothes and eccentric lifestyle. Its eccentricity becomes centricity, and loses value, it will then live the adulation of those who believe in it as a refuge, saving know-been-there-what.


But to be honest, your art is weak. His references are many, but misused. A cacophony of intentions, with dubious results. Brightness moments, but they can not sustain their speech coherently. What artists are reminded of your memorable moments, is what we can devote our time to them.Only fans know that the band number three side two of the disc x in Taiwanese version has a different intro with accelerated bpm "makes all the difference." The general public does not, he takes what is given, while it is valid. Gaga managed to be memorable when it tried to be, and it was. 


But from the moment that imposed the need to make an impact, it has become insignificant.Stefani forgot the main lesson you should learn from their idols: Madonna always remained Madonna, this is your character, and at the same step that itself. Each album, each facet / mask is presented as a new version of their universe, and not as a new version of itself. Madonna is still the captain of herself, albeit with cowboy hats or vests and Indian henna tattoos.

David Bowie, who used to say be your biggest idol, went through the same problem: once they got bigger Ziggy Bowie, and the conflict of the two was too much to bear, and Ziggy had to leave the scene. Bowie took care that it does not happen again, albeit within their identity confusion (and exploring artistically), the missteps along the way and a lot of things (as he himself said sometimes) recalls not having made / created, his creations are expressions of David Robert Jones, and not a character in it.


Likewise follow artists like Bjork and Kylie Minogue, for example: each reference serves as creating a new universe, but this can be easily dismissed, because the core, deep down, is always the same.I'm rooting for Stefani rediscover themselves. It would be great to see her shine, instead of being dominated by Gaga.


And you, what do you think?
