Marilyn Manson on Lady Gaga

Here we have industrial metal star Marilyn Manson, giving us his 0.99, er, 0.02 cents on Stefani.  I love Manson.  

Manson's also noticed the eerie similarities between his appearance and Stefani stealing from the Manson bag of tricks.

“I’m starting to feel that people are saying I’m Lady Gaga and also that Jesse James woman. I’m starting to feel insulted, ’cause I don’t want to look like either one of them.” – Marilyn Manson

She really looks like him doesn't she???  I don't mean in a copy cat kind of way, but as in the same face shape and features.

Gaga vs Adele

While Flop Born This Way's sales are impressive, what makes this album a flop is that Stefani's been bragging that this is the album of the decade.  That, in and of itself, is a pretty overly self-inflated and narcissistic thing to say before the album is even released.  Born This Way is proving not to be all that Stefani proclaimed it to be, given that only one song reached No.1 - the Madonna rip off one - and the rest failed to make it to No.1.  Not exactly what one would expect from the album of the decade.  Let's not forget the 0.99 cent deal which enabled the masses of monsters to buy multiple copies thus inflating the first week sales grossly.  Plus the Best Buy and Starbucks deals - buy a phone, get a free copy!  Stefani also had to release three singles, Born This Way, Flopas Judas and Edge of Glory before the album itself was finally released on May 23rd, 2011 after a much hyped, long drawn out waiting game; as if to tease and to guarantee sales that would line her money hating pockets.

According to the Global Track Chart Adele has reclaimed herself to the No.1 spot overtaking Lil' Wayne and The Red Hot Chili Peppers for it's 22nd week despite the 9% sales decline.  Stefani's BTW dropped a staggering 84% in sales during it's second week.  Her first week of sales in the US was an estimated 1.11 million copies which an estimated 440,000 were due to the 0.99 cent cheat deal. Adele just keeps getting stronger and stronger.

Adele earned herself a Guinness World Record for being the first female artist to have two singles and two albums in the UK Top 5 simultaneously.

As well Adele's No.1 album also holds the record for spending the most consecutive weeks at the top of the chart since its release at the beginning of the year.

Not to mention the fact that it has also spent the most cumulative weeks at No.1 due to the fact it has enjoyed a total of 22 weeks at the top of the chart.

Stefani holds a Guinness World Record as well, for, um, well, um, having the most Twitter followers - with tons of them being fake accounts.

These two albums are undeniably the best selling albums of this year, but which albums sold more? Which albums contain hit singles? How many singles have they sold with their albums?

Lady Gaga without a doubt is the most popular pop singer today. Besides wearing weird, bitchy or slutty outfits or making controversial music videos, she's good at music too.  Her music is equal with her videos in term of controversial content.  As for Adele, she's like the new Amy Winehouse but minus the drug issue and personally, I think Adele is better than Amy in terms of music. In an era where everybody wants to dance to electro pop, Adele emerges with her conservative look and soulful music that set her apart from her contemporaries. Still, she manages to prove to critics and labels in an era where everybody is using auto tune, that natural talent still manages to sell.  Now lets take a look at some sales figures.

FIRST WEEK SALES
Gaga: 1.11 million copies sold (Billboard Hot 100)
Adele: 208,000 (UK), 352,000 (USA)

WORLDWIDE SALES TO DATE:
Gaga: 5 million copies (as of June 2011 - numbers for September have not been published)
Adele: 10 million copies (as of September 2011)


SINGLES SALES (U.S. ONLY)
Gaga:
Born This Way- 3 million copies/download
Judas- 0.73 million copies/download
The Edge Of Glory- 1 million copies/download
You And I- 0.5 Million copies/download (as of September 2011)

GRAND TOTAL (US) - 5.33 million copies/download sold.

Adele:
Rolling In The Deep- over 5 million (as of September 2011)

Someone Like You- over 1 million(as of September 2011)

GRAND TOTAL (US)- over 6 million copies


Overall, it's clear that Adele is the winner.  Gaga might have the biggest opening sales and as of now already released four singles but Adele, with only two singles released, shes already kicked Gaga's ass off the chart.   She rules the chart in major markets as well. For example, in the US, her album almost sold twice higher than Gaga's Born This Way despite Gaga had the biggest opening sales (above 1 million copies). 

In UK, Gaga only went Platinum (for shipment above 300,000 units) but Adele went DIAMOND (10xPlatinum). 

In term of worldwide sales, Adele outsold Gaga by a huge margin. In terms of singles sales, despite having three top ten singles which only one managed to get to No.1, Gaga's total single sales are still below Adele total single sales.   With only two singles released, Adele sold more than 5 million copies which 99% of it came from Rolling In The Deep.  Thus, we can clearly said that Adele is INDEED the BEST SELLING ARTIST OF 2011......sorry Gaga you're OUTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

More On Gaga Hypocrisy About Money

Lady Hypocrite, who claims to not care about money, further goes on to prove that the words out of her mouth should be taken with a grain of salt and hold about as much weight as her 0.99 cent cheating deal.  Stefani has lent her name to another corporation and dedicated herself to brand marketing.......yes, all the signs of someone who is allergic to money.  She designed and launched her own printer for Polaroid.  I'm sure Polaroid is using the term "designed" loosely and no doubt lending her name to the product is about as far as "designing" it goes.  She can barely design her own career without stealing from the portfolio of others.

Is this a trait of someone who has claimed on several occasions to not care about money?  Is this what a real artist would do?  Team up with yet another huge corporation to generate revenue?  Why do so many people fail to see the hypocrisy that radiates from this pop culture parasite?  Is it really that difficult to see past the mask and through to the lies? 

What's next?  Born This Way to be included in McDonald Happy Meals?  Or the Gaga Monster claw, made in China,  packed up and set to sell just in time for Halloween?

There are so many contradictions and lies to come out of Stefani that you have to be really stupid not to notice.  It's beyond sad that so many people prefer to be on all fours, lapping up her bullshit out of dog bowls on the floor in mega doses than to open their minds, just a little, and do a little investigative research on this clown.  

A good example?  John Lennon, a true artist, would never have resorted to these tactics.  What came out of his mouth was sincere, genuine and authentic and is actions backed up everything he said.  If you want to know the behavior of a true artist, he's a good place to start.   Stefani has no depth or emotion and nothing that comes out of her mouth is real.  Its all smoke and mirrors to get you to buy, buy, buy.  Lady Gaga represents everything an artist is not.

Lady Gaga Represents Pop Culture Depravity

Article by Lisa McDonald from The Examiner


Chicago’s Peter Buchanan always has a lot to say about Lady Gaga, and most of it isn’t very pleasant. At first, I was neither here nor there on Lady Gaga, but when I saw her Chicago show at the United Center last spring, I was deeply offended.

It is important to note that I didn’t buy the tickets; I was given press tickets by Interscope Records. It wasn’t the worst show I have ever seen—that honor goes to Mariah Carey, who dog whistled her way throughout an entire show. However, Lady Gaga doesn’t have much talent either.

I would give credit to Lady Gaga for playing the piano, except that there were many piano notes heard without seeing Lady Gaga press the piano keys. I would give credit to her singing abilities, but most of the show was badly lip-synched.

However, there was a problem that was even worse; Lady Gaga basically told her audience that the only way a star could get attention is to take off their clothes. The stripper act would be okay had it conveyed any sense of meaning, but Lady Gaga apparently isn’t intelligent enough for that.

This past four months, Lady Gaga’s name has been in the news, although not for positive reasons—her album flopping, her VMA performance flop, and her trying to outclone Madonna in every aspect possible.

Thankfully, Jesus has given us the wonderful gift of Adele. Now, teenage girls can look up to someone who actually has talent. Within a few years, Lady Gaga will be nothing but a forgotten footnote in pop culture history.

Lady Gaga Drops On Both Album & Singles Charts

By Peter Buchanan at The Examiner

Lady Gaga is still getting spins from Chicago’s B96, but it is a different story nationwide. The single “You and I” drops from number 6 to number 8 and becomes another chart disappointment for the singer, considering her songs used to be guaranteed top 5 hits.

On the album charts, Born This Way drops from number 14 to 17. There are rumors swirling that the album may be deep discounted to 99 cents again in order to increase sales.

When Born This Way was first released to harsh reviews, the album was deep discounted to 99 cents on Amazon.com. Many criticized the move as desperate, but it helped it land at the number one spot that week.

Gaga's Hairstylist Quits, Says She Has 666 On Her Scalp

OK, this is way out there, not sure I'm buying this one.  Apparently Stefani's hairstylist Michael Pooter abruptly quit because he believes she is satanic.  Here's the story on OhNoTheyDidn't!

...He also stated she would stare at him when he cut with the scariest of eyes. The devil's eyes. Michael Pooter, who cut her hair since January 2010, said in a interview for "Stylists of the Whores" magazine that when he confronted her about it, she told him she would eat his children if he ever told anyone....

"She was usually liquored up on cheap whiskey when she came in for treatment. One day, when she was mumbling more than normal, which I found out later was her actually speaking in tongues, I saw the number 666 on her scalp and I quickly asked for God to protect me. She rose up out of her chair and floated 3 feet above the ground while yelling....."

"YOUR GOD IS NOT HERE MICHAEL. NOR WILL HE EVER BE. NOW GIVE ME SOME MORE HIGHLIGHTS AND TRIM MY BANGS YOU WORTHLESS *beep*"

Michael, recently took his family and is living in an undisclosed location for the protection of his family.
