Dave Horne Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Somehow I am reminded of Renée Richards who it seems was able to play mixed doubles ... with himself. The younger crowd will have to Google that. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message.

marino Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 For some reason, I've always thought that there was some kind of real talent behind her sex doll "industrial" image. I like her. I don't care in the least what she puts in her mouth behind closed doors. She's doing Madonna and pulling it off. And she's making a shitload of money. I have serious doubts that early-stage Madonna could sing that good, let alone play the piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Love her or hate her, she hooked up with the right producer (Red One) and they made a smashing album. Lyrically the subject matter may be repulsive, but she has created an image and a character and she's doing very well with it. The songs are all masterful little studies in writing a modern electro pop song. Simple, clever, 8 second bridge. My friend and I were having a philosophical discussion about her, and I ventured that she represents the TMZ / Paris Hilton lifestyle put into song and personified in an artist. Remember when Paris Hilton released a song several years ago? Her career came to nothing in that regard, and part of it may be because that song was a sweet love song. When the public thinks of Paris however, they think of Lady Gaga values, and that's what they would of liked to hear from her mouth and are hearing from Lady Gaga.

BillWelcome Home Studios Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Rolling Stone carried a cover story on her a few issues ago, showing pictures of her as a young girl and some more recent shots. Seriously, this is all sizzle and no steak. Good on her, she's getting over. Too bad that people buy this sgit, but there ya go, nobody ever went broke underestimating the American Public.

Joe Muscara Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 As I listen and watch, I wonder what/who she really is. Is all this crazy image her idea? Is she trying to find herself by doing this? Will she grow out of it and go back to the original singer/musician? Or will the fame she has found by doing this keep her doing it? I've never really heard her Lady Gaga songs (I think I FF thru them when she was on SNL, or I just blanked the performances out) and the whole schtick isn't working for me. If she was doing what she does in the video above, I might be paying attention. I'm sure she misses me. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Tonysounds Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I don't listen to much pop-ular radio, but I've heard Poker Face a number of times. I'll admit it: it's kind of clever in a Steven Tyler "Walk This ..." way. She knows whats up on all counts. I saw an interview with her in print where she talked about seeing a hilarious spoof called "Butter Face". I don't find her nearly as offensive as most...say...Rihanna.

Enlighten me: which one's the turd? Or the bigger turd? Apologies Tony, I didn't realize your standards were quite so stratospheric. Its not that my standards are so stratospheric; but its confusing when you reference McDonalds and Burger King in the same sentence and allude to one being better than the other. *(Especially since we're talking about Daughtry covering Gaga.) It might be that your standards are so subterranean? (I dont hate Daughtry, in fact, Im completely ambivalent about him; I bought his first cd, the first/only AI album Ive ever purchased, and wont make that mistake again.) To me, Gaga and Daughtry are both Royales With Cheeselots of it. Theyre both very proletariat. Youre right: Im a stratospheric snob. But I ask again: which ones the turd?

NoahZark Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I like Daughtry. Bought both his albums, in fact, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Sure, his music is formulaic, but he writes good hooks and catchy pop rock songs. That's not a crime in my book. And I dig his version of Poker Face more than Lady Gaga's, although both have a certain appeal. Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Haven't heard Daughtry's version of "Poker Face" but Lady GaGa's is a kind of pop classic already with it's signature opening synth line and Volga Boatmen male chant. It will be remembered, for better or worse, along with "Boom Boom Pow" as the defining pop songs of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lesser turd is the Daughtry version, in my subterranean opinion. Just to recap: Gaga's song is a turd; Daughtry polishes it, and it is no longer a turd; I question that, and am informed I have stratospheric standards; I question whether mine are so stratospheric or whether your's are subterranean when discussing alleged turd polishing, and I'm the one who has had too much coffee. Check. Glad we could keep this good natured. Thank god we weren't talking about REAL music. Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me.

Cliffk Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have serious doubts that early-stage Madonna could sing that good, let alone play the piano.

Eric Jx Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 You can't argue with success. If she stuck with the "girl at the piano" schtick she probably would have never hit it big. It's funny how Tori Amos went the other way. Started out over the top, and retreated back to just her and the piano. Get a load of her first video: [video:youtube] Kudos if you can watch for more than a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Benhamou Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The funny thing for me about the whole "turd" debate between Tony and Dan is that Dan is subbing for me on a corporate gig next week. Guess what song got added to the repertoire recently that Dan will have to cover? Irony? Or just poetic justice?

Tonysounds Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 At 3:02, I finally could take it NO LONGER! No amount of buffing by Daughtry, Gaga, Dali or Turtle Wax is going to reshape this one. Although, Im glad to see the one-legged-flamingo pose: One would guess theres a cross-marketing opportunity for Victorias Secret there. Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me.
