<p>Actually, I think the atmosphere of Lady Gaga’s videos kind of destroy their sexuality. They’re really…sterile (in a good way). Or in other cases, like LoveGame, they’re so sexual they’re not.</p>
<p>They’re sterile? REALLY? Warrant your claim now.</p>
<p>Hahah… I’m actually a huge Lady Gaga fan, but I think she’s an incredibly talented woman who knows exactly how to catch people’s attention and skew the pop music industry in her favor.</p>
<p>Actually, now that I think of it, I’d rather have people like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga who actually write their own songs and sing live taking over the airwaves than someone virtually talentless like Britney Spears. Still not a Taylor Swift fan, but guess I should stop complaining :)</p>
<p>I’m not really a Taylor Swift FAN, but I think she has a positive influence on people.</p>
<p>Lady Gaga’s music is catchy, especially for someone like me who specializes in electronic music. But still, there is just too much sex sometimes.</p>
<p>Yeah, Lady Gaga defintely has WAY too many sexual references in some of her songs. LoveGame was the most blatant example of this, but there is no doubt that she is incredibly talented. She is an amazing pianist and live performer. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol I can agree. At least they put out their own products. Britney Spears is extremely annoying, and Taylor Swift gets annoying. But, like others have said, she is like the anti-pop icon (in terms of sexuality). Rihanna is overdoing it; Beyonce is trying to keep up with younger artists now, and her music is very overplayed, thusly too annoying for my taste.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>See Paparazzi video. It is sexual, but at the same time it’s so incredibly unsexual. AND IT’S FULL OF DEAD PEOPLE! But really, look at all that clean white plastic, all the (well, the dead people) - it’s so synthetic! I think Lady Gaga is incredibly postmodern.</p>
<p>And then there’s LoveGame - like I said earlier, so sexual it’s not.</p>
<p>I think you’ve just become so used to our culture, that you think so much sexual stuff isn’t sexual.</p>
<p>Paparazzi video: She starts out on a bed making out with some guy. Then she ends up on a couch wearing a very revealing leather outfit. S&M much? Then there are girls making out in tons of make up. He ass is essentially showing.</p>
<p>Then she’s in this corner wearing another revealing leather outfit. And cameras are constantly flashing, with her acting seductively.</p>
<p>Then she’s in this yellow mouse outfit. Her lipstick and the way she licks the spoon is definitely freudian.</p>
<p>Then she’s back wearing her normal pinup outfit. And then she’s in jail wearing black leather again, and she licks her fingers.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are dead people, but they are sexy dead people.</p>
<p>(I just watched the video, so I could write this stuff)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Capitalist pigs, the lot of them!</p>
<p>(as an aside, I’m surprised anybody actually pays attention to the GRAMMY’s)</p>
<p>Same here. And there are too many different categories. The Oscars make so much more sense. And if you’re into movies, you’ll most likely know most of the movies that get nominated. I glanced at the whole Grammy list and I knew about 5-10% of the artists.</p>
<p>I am a Taylor Swift fan (I like catchy, feel good music) but she sounded pretty rough last night. So did Fergie (and I love auto-tune in a dance song, but Will.I.Am, relax). It was a rough night for two usually strong voices.</p>
<p>uh I don’t care about Single Ladies…Taylor won best album of the year so woot woot!</p>
<p>Speaking of the BEP, my friend just showed me a song by them. It’s called Imma Be. (perhaps this was the song they sung)</p>
<p>I literally spit my tea that I was drinking everywhere because I instantly started cracking up. I’ve never heard such a horribly ridiculous song in my life.</p>
<p>^OMG! That is the worst song ever. WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE IT AND WHY IS IT GETTING RADIO AIRPLAY?</p>
<p>I do not understand.</p>
<p>Taylor Swift cannot sing live. She never hits more than 2 notes in a row. It’s painful.</p>
<p>The Grammys did get better ratings this year though, perhaps as a result of honoring more popular music.</p>
<p>Finally, some people realize that Taylor Swift can’t sing for crap. Everyone always says she’s a good singer, but I have never heard a good live performance of hers. She truly cannot sing.</p>
<p>Phoenix won a Grammy? </p>
<p>That made my day. I don’t even care that the rest of the awards sucked. Phoenix deserved it.</p>
<p>^Hell yeah, Phoenix is awesome!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Now, the real question is:
Does anyone ever get turned on by this?</p>
<p>(In case you’re wondering, the answer is pretty much no.)</p>
<p>You’re proving my point that you’re just part of this oversexualized era.</p>
<p>thank god we have you for our moral compass</p>
<p>I’m pretty much hypocritical. I like the media to be less sexualized than it is. But I’m a super sexual person myself. lawlz.</p>
<p>I just want to protect our children!</p>
<p>It really is all about the children. Family is the most valuable thing in the world. It must be preserved to the death, as is necessary to prevent those hippy free love types from destroying our beloved institutions >:O</p>
