    Watashi is addicted to Lady Gaga.
    You make that seem like it's a bad thing.

    I'm trying to get tickets to her fucking concerts but jesus they are difficult. But I have a rule that I would only go to a Gaga concert if I could get floor tickets. No way am I sitting down.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Lady Gaga is the biggest joke perpetrated upon the American public in history. She is garbage.

    I will join the list of those who'll list Gaga as interesting. The music isn't necessarily innovative, but I love the way she's making music videos an event again.

    I really want to hate her, but a couple of her songs are pretty catchy.

    By "a couple" I mean two.

    Her videos are annoying as hell. You're not Quentin Tarantino, sweetie, you're a little girl dressed as a drag queen.

    Also, the lyrics to "Telephone" are really, really annoying. IF YOU TURN OFF YOUR PHONE, YOU'LL STOP GETTING PHONE CALLS. I'm here to help.

    I hear it's pretty awesome. I'm in the same boat as you as far as where I'd go. General Admission is going for over $150 in Denver which is silly.

    The Alejandro video is pretty lame after what she did with Telephone. But she is the only one that seems to be trying to do something with a music video lately. Can't say I've seen any other good videos lately. Not that I seek them out though.

    I hate her videos. To say that they're her biggest asset is crazy.

    Okay, there's actually one video that I really like the opening of. Anyone want to take a stab at guessing which one? It's pretty easy.

    Ha. I forgot about that video. I've actually only watched the opening to that and left it at that.

    I've managed to get this far without hearing one Lady Gaga song or seeing any of her videos. I aims to keep it that way as long as I can.

    You must have heard one by now, at least in passing, bac0n. It's impossible to avoid it.

    I hate when this happens. Someone mentions some popular new artist and I act all, "Pfthhh, glad I never heard their song!" Then they play me one of the songs and I realize that I have heard it. Several times. I just had no idea it was from said artist.

    I just like her because her music is catchy, her lyrics aren't painfully obvious, and she tries to be different than any other mainstream popstar. Plus she seems really intelligent.
    Sure why not?

    I've seen one video (Bad Romance) and thought it was pretty decent.

    I think she's ridiculously attractive.
