The Ugly: Lady Gaga "The Fame Monster"

Lady Gaga has people of all ages getting up out of their seats. Her music is fresh and full of "dance-to" beats. Lady Gaga's number one hit "Just Dance" was a huge success. It has a catchy tempo that makes you want to sing along and... well, just dance. Her voice is stunning and she knows how to use it. But what is with her style? I guess I will give her credit for being unique, which separates her from the rest.

The title of her album, "The Fame Monster" says it all. Off the stage her style is natural and normal. On the stage she creates an ensemble of costumes that are hideous but are an essential component to the success of her performances. Lady Gaga brings a new name to the music industry, which was much needed. Her performances are definitely unusual and bizarre, but because it grabs everyone's attention and all eyes are on her, it works. Her passion for fashion brings everything together and is the definition of performance art. Her image is so strong that it tells a story and makes fans want to come back for more. It is said that she is inspired by glam rockers and pop singers, such as Queen and Madonna. And she does a fantastic job incorporating the two.





Despite the Hollywood gossip regarding Lady Gaga being a hermaphrodite, she doesn't let it affect who she is. Say what you will about her, but she never does a half-ass job of anything. I give Lady Gaga a 6 out of 10.
