So Who Do I Like?


I've been accused several times of being full of hate and asked who the heck DO I like?  Well, there's plenty.  Let's start right here with Ellie Goulding.  Maybe you've heard of her, maybe you haven't.  Now the time to start paying attention.  She's already done very well in the UK and Europe and finally there's a strong buzz about her here in North America.  She's already toured the U.S.A. and Canada and played at Coachella.   Ellie Goulding is a favorite of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate and was asked to play at their wedding.

Ellie is amazingly talented.  She is classy, respectable, authentic, doesn't need gimmicks or theatrics and is adorable. Ellie doesn't need to run around with her ass and titties hanging out.  She just gets up there and plays. Her and her band.   Ellie's many talents include vocals, guitar, drums, piano, clarinet, tambourine and song writing.

Check out her song "Starry Eyed" above.  I have her entire CD on my MP3 player and every single song is excellent.  Check out "Under The Sheets" as well.

Seriously Rihanna?

Ok, I know this is a Gaga blog but I came across this online and I'm really disgusted. Rihanna was spotted leaving a restaurant in Santa Monica wearing a necklace that reads "cunt".  Now, why would you do that Rihanna?  Have you no self respect?  After being the victim of violence at the hands of a man, she goes and puts this vile word around her neck.  Grow up Rihanna and be lady, if that is even possible for you and your poppy types.

I have about zero tolerance for these dumb little pop stars...or pop tarts is more like it.  I really wish one of them, any of them, would give us a really good reason to respect them.  I really can't stand any of them.  They have no substance, no personality and mediocre talent churning out pop drivel with asinine lyrics and what really gets me is people buy this crap up!  I guess that says a lot about the mindset of society today and what we find entertaining.  Don't even get me started on reality show douche bags like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.  I've never watched an episode and I never will.  I refuse to contribute to anything that helps to make these pathetic individuals famous.  Society should be ashamed of themselves for lining the pockets of these useless human beings with more money than they need.  They already were lucky enough to be born in to an affluent family.  Do we really need to make them richer and make them famous for doing absolutely nothing?  Oh wait, I take that back. They worked really hard on their sex tapes that put them on the map. 

Rihanna, please do yourself a favor and toss this necklace in to a burning flame.  Respect yourself and respect womanhood and stop behaving like a douche bag.  Take some of that money you have and go buy yourself some class and while you're at it, invest in a therapist so you can build some self esteem because any adult woman with healthy self esteem would never in a million years wear this garbage around her neck.  This folks, is what young, impressionable girls are looking up to.

Gaga Releases One of Five "Fashion" Videos

If you haven't seen it already, you won't see on this site.  Gaga released her "Haus Of U featuring Nymph Fashion Video",  which is basically her dancing and posing for the camera to her song You and I, dressed as the nymph character in video of the same title. 

I think Stefani looks lovely in the video.  It's nice to see her look like a human being for once but one has to ask, what is the purpose of this video?  And what the heck is a fashion video? She's only wearing one outfit.  It's more like a "Watch Me Dance on Camera Video Wearing Lingerie. Look At Me, Aren't I Amazing!" video.   Plus, there's four more coming.  My guess is each one will be of Stefani dressed as one of the charcters in the You and I video, that's pretty predictable. Ugh! Not another Jo Calderone appearance.  

Anyway, back to the purpose of the video.  Is Stefani so desperate to have a second song off Born This Way reach number one that she has to release five, no, six (if you include the official one) You and I videos to push this song?  It's pretty obvious that's the deal here.  Gaga, the only people who will be moved by this video are little "still going through puberty" monsters and they already bought your album.  I know you packaged this as a gift...a surprise, for your monsters but those who can see past bullshit know the marketing ploy behind the videos. This is just another reason for a narcissist to revel in herself five more times while manipulating the public to buy her failing song.   To think that a part of her really thinks that filming herself on video, striking a pose (no pun intended) or ten is a gift to her fans.  How incredibly self serving and arrogant.  I wish someone would tell her that shoving yourself down the public's throat doesn't endear them to you.  What it actually does is turn them off, and it's happening in droves.  Here's a bullet Stefani, so you can shoot yourself in the other foot.

Lady Gaga Can't Take Criticism

Gaga in her Haute Coutour and NY Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn


Lady Gaga's super fragile ego has a hard time accepting the fact that not everyone loves her.  Stefani used her latest column for V magazine to take a swipe at New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn.  In one of Cathy's latest columns, she does her job, as a critic and comments on Stefani's outfit in the “Edge of Glory” video, Horyn wrote

"She looked embalmed in the black Versace harness (apparently from Gianni Versace’s final collection), and I don’t know why Donatella Versace said she was honored by Gaga’s selection, unless, of course, she thought she had to say something nice about the superstar. But a D.O.A. video doesn’t help the House of Versace. Be choosier, Ms. Versace."

Apparently to Stefani, if a fashion critic doesn't like her clothes, it means they are negative and cynical rather than original and having done their research.  Perhaps, Lady Gaga, could it simply mean they don't like the way you dress?  Could it even possibly mean that there is someone out there who hasn't fallen in love with you and isn't eating your bullshit by the shovel full?   Could it even, catch my breath, mean that not everything you do comes through the glittery gates of Pop Heaven, gracing society with your (lack of) originality and splendor? Stefani says in her column:

"In the age of the Internet, when collections and performances are so accessible to the public and anyone can post a review on Facebook or Twitter, shouldn’t columnists and reviewers, such as Cathy Horyn, employ a more modern and forward approach to criticism, one that separates them from the average individual at home on their laptop? The reality of today’s media is that there are no echelons, and if they’re not careful, the most astute and educated journalists can be reduced to gossipers.”


Oh, so that's it!  If you don't like Gaga or don't "get her" and you speak or write about it, that makes you a gossiper.   Of course!  Why can't Stefani simply accept that not everyone worships the ground she walks on?  I'll tell you why.  Because that fact is quite the challenge and virtually impossible for someone with a narcissistic personality disorder possibly combined with histrionic personality disorder to accept.  The depth of her narcissism never shone so clearly as it did at the VMA awards.  To dress as an alter ego so you can perform a monologue, probably written by you, to talk about yourself as a star is appalling. That is what Stefani did. 

So the long-standing journalistic hierarchy is deemed “irrelevant” by Mama Monster because she knows everything and she knows best.  Stefani is the expert in fashion despite being a pop star for only three years, no background in fashion and who's fashion choices are a Kermit the Frog dress, filet mignon, gimp masks, 50 feet high heel boots and shoes and everything other pop stars have worn before. 

Gaga also wrote of Horyn:

"It's so easy to say something is bad. It's so easy to write, 'One star, hated it, worst show of the season.' It's much more challenging to reckon with and analyze a work. It requires research, but maybe no one does their research anymore."

Well Gaga, I'll give that one to you.  Clearly you really do your research and you don't hold back on how deep you will dive to do it.  Your extensive research is crystal clear in your clothes, music, products and creates a, oh I don't know, sense of deja vu.
