I used to think that there was something mentally wrong with her,because the way she dress,the way she perform and the way she present herself "normally" in award shows,music videos and everything was really outrageous. But then,I took some time to watch her interviews. How she felt really different during high school,how she had some issues with her Dad and all that stuff. And honestly,I was kinda shock beacuse she was NOTHING to what I thought she'd be like. I was her to be arrogant and all those bad stuff.
Her interview with Barbara Walters was probably my favourite. And I don't know if she was acting or whatever,but to me,she sounded really honest and really nice.
"I just I felt like a freak, I guess what I'm trying to say is
I want to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can create their own space in the world"
"Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner, you want to be like yourself. I want my fans to know it's okay."
"I used to walk down the street like I was a fucking star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth."
-Lady Gaga
I felt really guilty judging her like that. But I guess its human nature,most of us tend to judge people from the way they dress and the way they present themselves without hearing what they've got to say or letting them express themselves. I think its unfair,sometimes you just gotta give them a chance.
I really adore Lady Gaga now. After watching her interview I think I can understand her much more now.
I just hope she really means what she says.
Hello!! Would I be able to speak with you about this view in particular, about being different and being afraid to use one's voice? I am doing an assignment on something like this and I think you'd be an amazing person to talk to!!

Umm, well I still don't know about her. I do respect her as an artist. I don't particularly like her music or outlandish outfits, but she IS an artist. As far as the theatrics go... she's definitely knows how to put on a show... but it seems to me, and I could be wrong, but it seems that she's putting on a show 24/7. Every appearance I see her in, I find her artificial. I'd like to see her stripped down. No make-up or crazy hair...jeans and a t-shirt... you know? So then I could find her somewhere in there... Her outfits distract from who she is on the inside. And that puts me off.
ReplyDeleteI just don't know how long a person can put on an act before they just snap...
This interview, although she talked about her family and stuff, still came off impersonal to me.
I just don't know. I have yet to figure her out.
Yeah, I loooveee Lady Gaga. (Haha I always reblog the pics of her on tumblr.) I hate when people just glance at her once and say "She's a freak. What's wrong with her?" It just gets on my nerves. But that's society for ya.

Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is lovely!
unfortunately it is in our nature to judge but we eventually learn to break from those habits. I always knew she'd eventually be iconic she truly is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a Lady Ga Ga fan. But I can say I think she is extremely talented. I hear her do a version of Poker Face that was mostly on Piano. I was waiting for some weird performance but she knocked me on my ass! As for her weirdness, that is just who she is I guess. After a show most people are talking about her. So she is doing something right.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like her in the beginning either, but I think that she does what she does because she wants to show her fans that its ok to be different. Not everyone can be the same. As much as I wish I didn't, I do judge people before I get to know them. I try not too, but I do.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I was like that about Gaga at first too. But then I found out that she's really great, she wants to show her fans that they can be unique, have their own voice and make 'weird' - cool. She is great, really.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you turn around on Lady Gaga. I like her.
