Yep, the House of Gaga provoked some random thoughts that I am about to share or express in the "Blogland" for some private satisfaction, ha-ha. As usual no posts that I would ever write about, are intended to be seen, approved or disliked from others. So, there's no need for anyone to be frustrated or the opposite, this would make no sense to me anyways. There are many different opinions and contradiction about Gaga, so I am about to clear my head, showing some good reasons not to be a hater, cuz being a hater is not good in general:D
Isn't that Bubble dress marvelous? I want it.
Recently there is a major mania over Lady Gaga, possibly earned I would say! Even got the chance to read online that during the past few weeks, she became - the most liked person overall in the whole world, taking into account different social networks (face book, twitter & etc.), more liked, subscribed and followed than MJ, Obama and other famous people. Of course, not going to check the statistics for numbers, whoever needs them is welcome to do so. Unfortunately I can't remember specifics. And yes, the information is out of the social networks only. I sort of wanna mention here though that she's got many celebrities admission like Elton John and even the Queen of Britain... that usually do not happen with such young performers ever. I also read online that someone special like that woman is born once in every 20 years or so in this industry, probably true if I am to think in general who else that might be, just nobody.
Once in a while, I have some strange obsessions with different things or people... I have some permanent obsessions either- cupcakes, muffins and cherry pies obsession:), collecting cuteness obsession and etc., but it's not the right time to divert like that:) Currently, unlikely for me to say- I got into obsession with this artist, who seems to be defined as a "commercial artist". I pretty much have never liked commercial performers, ever since I found the beauty of alternative music back when I was fourteen or so. I have been deeply in love with some UK bands that are not as famous or commercial, for years and years, however Gaga is a phenomenon that can not be just passed by. She is literally great in so many ways, but or those people that haven't been presented to her job & personality, everything I post will sound quite strange. I would clarify my own reasons why do I personally like her, down below. Obviously the way I like and appreciate that artist is very different to the way teenagers and average people do. It has nothing to do with the fact, it is fashionable or popular to be a fan. Personally my sort of "mature reasons" to like Gaga are:
- Full and utter dedication to her job. Everyone who has read more about her, would know that Dedication is what brought her to the level of fame she has now. I admire that! Most people give up easily, few would keep on standing and fighting in order to make their dreams come true. Obstacles do not seem to bother her and I admire she got the strength to keep on working hard through the years. Generally I have always admired people who come out of nothing and certainly achieve massive success. This truly warms my heart and makes me believe that anything is possible. And belief is what keeps us going forward. I am genuinely happy for those who are blessed to become great and actually live the Dream they have secretly dreamed of! I read her biographic book and watched some video interviews, that's where I know these thingd from.
- Incredible talented girl in terms of composing songs, creating melodies, lyrics, clothes, even planning the shows and performances she does. As much as I know she is included in all that and really few artist are considered to be doing something even slightly similar. Cannot even imagine what does it take to do all of that. I am not being naive here and sure she has huge support from "A Pro" in every area whatsoever and still ...it is amazing what she actually does. Everyone who has tried to be dealing with music- playing instrument or something else, would know what I mean in relation with composing songs for example. My dad is a musician and I also used to play piano for a while, so I assume I have some idea probably, what you have to sacrifice, the pressure you need to go through to make it in the music industry.....

- Brilliant acoustic song versions. I fell in love with this artist, ever since I listened to the song Speechless in an acoustic version. I assume, she is great to be seen live, I wish someday I would get the chance to attend a live concert of hers.
- A fantastic voice control that honestly amazed me. Just true inspiration and a remarkable musician.
- Very interesting personality, when you actually listen to interviews with her. I would recommend few: Jonathan Ross Interview with Gaga, Ellen's interview, Larry King.'s interview with Gaga and Barbara Walters'. One of my favorites is:
This is where you can actually see that she is smart, funny and fabulous in her own different way. She has a great sense of humor, maybe sort of non-standard I would say. She is also very mature and down to earth, no matter what image she defends to keep at people. Sometimes it's all about self defence either. She is anything but artificial, from what I've seen. And still the fame level requires to be consecutive, no matter what changes could appear in your life. Missdirecting is not a bad thing, it is natural but only sometimes. Also, I have to say Gaga is a really sweet and well mannered at her interviews, which makes her bewitching & fascinating. I think her behavior is measured nicely, but most people pay too much attention to her crazy outfits and call her trashy afterwords... It's not fair though, fashion should be left behind, the person has to stand out. Why people bother so much, everyone should wear whatever makes you happy. What is that prejustice for? I don't get it.

-Love the fact she kind of distinguish from what is Current and still succeeds to reach the top. Her fashion is crazy but contagious, her talk & walk too:) Style is so important and nowadays is kindda hard to create one. Wasn't this way before, back when nudity was still scandalous and people got to be amused at some "strip acts" of famous performers... (not going to mention names in here, but I am sure you get the point:). Now, it gets is harder to be impressed, most people are used to see and hear anything. It is harder and harder to earn people's attention and "approval" (at least of the majority). She did earn certain approval, of course also the opposite. It is always like that. There would be always people who would agree and disagree with what is acceptable and not acceptable. A terrible role model to some people or not, just what is obvious doesn't always have to be leading, cause it's shallow and predictable in my opinion.
- Love the fact that even though she dresses up sexy (she is expected to in order to be very successful, that is the ugly truth, the majority expects so, but doesn't admit that and would never admit that), however she adds up some strange stuff to her outfits:) Some people call her freak or psycho (I read that online yesterday at some blogs:(). But I just adore the fact she is so brave. Other pop and commercial artist always try too hard to be stereotypically hot and sexy, which is OK but doesn't really differ you from the crowd. Vanity is huge in women' s world. I like the fact she doesn't care if she is considered to be a freak, it sounds even like a compliment nowadays, doesn't it? At least it makes you stand out of the Herd! And people need to be individuals, not a Herd, trying to copy, be equal and imitate each other. Why not being proud of what you stand for?

Professional performances, albums, great songs (personally I like the ballads). One of My favorites are: Wonderful, Again Again, No Floods, Speechless, Brown Eyes and from the fast & rhythmical songs, I like Paparazzi & Poker Face (acoustic versions of course:), - only her voice and the piano, also Love Game, Rock Show, Vanity, Paper Gangsta. Many of the rest songs in her first and second albums, I honestly do not like so much, but of course do not hate either. I am just OK with the rest of the songs.
- I assume I like the fact, she is feminist as claimed in the Larry Kings' show. She mentioned she is pushing the limits as much as she can and this is something to pay attention to. Personally I don't consider myself as a feminist, but wouldn't be able to deny either that women are still not equally accepted in so many places all around the world. Expectations to us women are different to those men have got, and that sort of pisses me off. Having babies is not the only thing we strive to, cooking, cleaning & being housewives is not the only thing women want to do (but they are expected to) and unfortunately in some countries that stereotyped massive thinking still exists. How shallow is that... Not sure if pushing the limits is good, but I prefer to think so. I guess I like revolutions:)
- Finally I would say, I love the messages she bring to people. Not everyone gets them..., but many times she has advised not to be ashamed of who you are, to be brave & proud of who you are, to stick to your dreams and pursue them no matter what. Also, she sort of teaches people of family values (even though, that might sound strange to people who were not introduced to those messages), well maybe not exactly Stereotyped morals, but appreciating your blood relations. She said that no matter how many people like you in this world, no matter what fame level you have approached so far, you only have one pair of parents. This is something that stuck into my mind and I was considering for a while... So true! Most people forget that and take their families for granted and that is a mistake. People should cherish their families more. Family should be sacred! At least I dream of such.
Those are my personal reasons to like Gaga. I don't want to influence anybody, I am not having any purposes like that. Also I don't exclude possible critics to her either, but I prefer not to pay attention to those. I'd rather have positive type of thinking than negative (well at least I try...for most thing, but many times I fail:(:(), it's not so easy sometimes. It always comes up to yourself. If you are searching for positivity you will find it, if you are searching for negativity, you will also find it. There is always good and bad of almost anything and anybody, it depends on us how we would prefer to see things and other people.
Funny, I did write such a long post for an artist I am not a huge fan of. I do like her alot currently though, but I have many other favourite performers that I listen to on daily basis. All I had to say was that I find her fascinating and remarkable and also respect her Art! People probably should do the same, instead of critisizing all the time. Still lately she trully crossed many borders and lost some of hermusic inspiration, in my point of view, but her fans will aprove all anyway.
