Lady Gaga, who most of you know as the wearer of fine meats, is getting the geeks all excited this week over her Polaroid glasses and portable Bluetooth printer. But not just anyone is capable of whipping up these trendsetting products. You must be wickedly creative, and not afraid to tell the world about it. Speaking at CES with CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo, The Gags says, “I consider myself to be a visionary, and I consider myself to be not just to be a songwriter and a lyricist and a musician, but I also consider myself to be a designer in a lot of ways, an artist. So I just basically brought my vision for the lifestyle of my music — which is for my fans and something that runs our whole life.” [via]

I’m kind of sick of her. Can we just have a break from her for like 6 months? Please?
Clint
Love my bitch. And these are things she’s obviously worked out with Polaroid to say to drive sales.

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. You know you love it.

She looks absolutely gorgeous in this video. In fact, this may be the prettiest I’ve seen her look since she had her famous bangs haircut. She’s soooooo much better looking when she’s dressing more feminine.

I’m glad she has a successful music career.

She is just another media whore. The same as Sarah Palin. Except Stephanie Germanotta uses the gay community for financial gain; whereas, Sarah Palin uses the white trash community for financial gain.
And to even put this Lady Gaga in the visionary is absurd.
Kate Bush is a visionary.
Does anyone think she compares to Kate Bush?
Thought not!
Syl
Gaga hate? On a gay site? Geez, ya’ll must be Katy Perry fans then! /sarc
Seriously though, I love Gaga, and I just got those glasses for my b-day!

@SYL
DOn’t worry, its all a bunch of bitter queens raging just because “LOL LOOK AT US! WE’RE SOO NOT STEREOTYPICAL GAY GUYS!” while in fact they’re probably the gayest of all.

@Syl:
Is there a reason you two are so defensive over this chick no one can express an opinion about her that you happen to disagree with?
Maybe some people just plain do not like her. Get over it.
I think she’s beyond silly and relies heavily on gimmicks just like that Nicki Minaj woman.
I’m not expecting anymore Whitney’s, Luthers, Michael’s, or Mariah’s…but come on. This shit passes for “the greats” now? Gimme a break.

@Davey Wavey’s Vagina Monologue: Gaga doesn’t seem to have the rare & expansive vocal range of Whitney or Mariah, but she is undoubtedly one of the greats in terms of performance. Have you seen her perform “Speechless” live on Youtube. Werrrq!
Besides vocals, she plays her own instruments and writes her own lyrics. I’m not sure if Mariah and Whitney were doing that just two years into their career, but if they were, that’s even more supporting evidence for their status as legends.
Mad props to this woman. LOVE ME SOME GAGA! Can’t wait till her album drops….

@Qjersey:
LMAO. I died when Elton cried, “My weave!”

She looks like one of those crazy Jewish bag ladies you see in the mid-Wishire, hanging around outside of Starbucks collecting plastic swizzle sticks. You start to worry, and then you realize, “hey, she lives in Pacific Palisades and drives a Bentley, she’s just off her meds”. This realization might relax you, except shes standing so damn close to you, and she smells like hair dye.

Reviews of the new Polaroid products are bad. The GL20 cam glasses: useless, weird, probably a hazard. The GL printers: ugly, poorly made, poor print quality. But they are suitable for her fans.

My most recent tweet: Lady GaGa is a vapid, self-indulgent, insufferable SNOB who needs to fail… at least once. She’s obsessed with her own arrogance. I agree with @michael. Disappear for awhile, Gaga!
redball
@Cameron: People who get Gaga know that it’s not that serious. Gaga is a theatrical tongue-in-cheek performer. This is a persona that extends into her interviews as well, where she often speaks in hyperbole and a mock-serious inflated sense of self.
I think I finally got this last year when she gave that big cover-story interview (in Vanity Fair I think?) and she gave a quote to the effect of “Every penny I make from the Monster Ball goes right back into the concert to make it better. I don’t spend a dime on rent. Why would i need an apartment? I’m always moving around on tour.”
(The “Only Words to Play With” blog has stuff on this theme, I think).
She loves playing with the ideas of artifice and fame. Complaining about it just means you don’t get it….

@Oliver: Ha, you like Bush.

When under pressure, I suppose anyone could forget that the pronouns following prepositions take the object form.

@redball: I choked on all that pseudo-intellectual bullshit and coughed it back up like it was a hairball.
You sound like one of those rabid “Lost” fans who swore no one got the shitty show if they didn’t like it either.
There’s nothing to “get”. She’s yet another artificial pop star that the record industry churns out by the dozen. She’ll be replaced in not time and we’ll be saying “Lady Who?”.
How long did it take the Jonas Brothers over exposure to make them disappear? If you don’t even remember who they are then I rest my case entirely. They were all over the place and have since been replaced by Justin Bieber.
Lady Gaga is nonstop gimmicks. Gimmicks get old fast and those who rely on them fade away when people stop caring.
Sometimes they even blow up in your face. Just look at Adam Lambert.

Is the fake gay advocate still out there marketing herself as bisexual? It’s typical of women, isn’t it? They exploit the bisexual double standard to market themselves to the sleazy straight guy fantasy, and then issue periodic statements about how much they “love the gays”. Yeah, right.
As for her polaroids, for a minute I thought she said hemorrhoids.
redball
@Davey Wavey’s Vagina Monologue:
🙁 I hope she doesn’t fade away anytime soon. The pop scene became incredibly boring after Britney fade from the limelight and before Gaga came on the scene, ca., 2004-2008.
jacknastion
@Oliver: That is silly to compare her to Sarah Palin, Lada Gaga is a pop-star it is her job to be in the media. Sarah Palin planning on running for president, it is not the same thing at all.

the gay community suffers from the same virus as the black community: a group of people who hate each other for their successes and failures when collectively they have the power to end the woes and struggles of their community if they would actually band together. It will never happen.
Disliking someone’s work isn’t a reason to “hate” someone you don’t even know. Its just as stupid as killing someone for wearing a different color from your gang color. There are many music artists and actors whose work I personally don’t care for but I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, dining, and working with these people and they’re still great “people” and my checks still clear the bank.
globo
I love how creative she is. I think her talent will continue to develop, can’t wait for her new album.
bobo
Crazy Jewish bag ladies? Nah I think Gaga looks like a crazy flaming rich faggot dude who just got his/her shit packed in by some cop.
Kev C
@Blackjack44: Have you ever listened to the lyrics of Queen’s Radio Ga Ga? In it, they are lamenting the loss of good radio which has been replaced by Ga Ga. A backdrop for the girls and boys who just don’t know or just don’t care.
adman
@bobo: Aww, Bobo, you’re so cute when you go all crosseyed macho boy with a keyboard on us. Is thinking about cops pounding your ass what made your emotional development cease? Is that it? Well, ever body knows cops are bottoms, silly. My coworkers best insult when the job gets boring is “Bobo”. “That guy is a bobo”, they’ll say. Bobo means retarded in Philipino.

@Davey Wavey’s Vagina Monologue:
That’s funny, cause I’m pretty sure she composes all of her own music and the rest of those people you named don’t. She’s unique in the pop scene because she makes herself purposely different from everyone else. She’s not going to let herself fail like the rest of them.
Nate
Gaga is my zombie sex slave…. Even thought I’m gay.
