Lady Gaga: "I Smoke a Lot of Pot"

[Cannasylum]

She looks like Marilyn Manson after 5 years of meth smoking... Not the prettiest thing to look at . . .

Ya'll really should save your hate for something more tangible.

"her"?

 

[mosstrooper]

Lady Gaga is Ace, the more celebs come out and fes up to being weed heads the better.
At least she isnt doing the whole "just say no" bullshit.

Herbie Hancock, lol? The last hit he had sounded like a coffee pot and a popcorn popper.

LOL! Herbie Hancock specifically popped in my head because he won the Best Album award at the Grammys back in 2008. I remember people were going apeshit because Kanye West and Amy Winehouse had multiplatinum selling album and he did not, and yet he won. And I thought it was very ridiculous because those people who were upset during that time equated popularity to talent.

No, but going multiplatinum, being popular and hailed as talented by millions of people, while composing and performing one's own creative songs, producing one's own shows, singing well WITHOUT autotune, AND playing the piano fantastically after years of classical training, most certainly IS a sign of talent.

Except we are not talking about Britney Spears here. We are talking about Lady Gaga.

If it is of someone's opinion that Richard Feynman isn't a talented physicist, that does not make them an idiot. It's just their opinion.

If it is of someone's opinion that Babe Ruth wasn't a talented baseball player, that does not make them an idiot. It's just their opinion.

If it is of someone's opinion that Steve Jobs isn't a talented businessman and marketer, that does not make them an idiot. It's just their opinion.

Should I go on? Is it clear yet that it is quite possible for someone's opinion to be completely uninformed and poorly founded? Do you understand that loudly spouting off one's uninformed and ignorant opinion to anyone who will listen, especially when it degrades a clearly talented artist, is idiocy?

#1 Why would I respect anyone's unfounded and idiotic opinion, especially in light of the fact that there is ample evidence (for example, numerous Youtube videos showing Lady Gaga performing fantastic solo renditions of her songs, being well spoken in interviews, wowing crowds at concerts, etc) which clearly and completely contradict said idiotic opinion?

#2 Why in the world would I care in the least about what said uninformed commentor thinks about MY opinion? I formed my opinion on my own, based on my own INFORMED judgments and artistic appreciation, and the "respect" of some talentless hater on a random Internet message board certainly does not factor into it. I weight in simply because I wanted to support Bee Keeper.

Being a SUCCESSFUL artist is about much more than just being a good musician. There are plenty of talented musicians who will never make it off street corners, because they are lacking in business skills, marketing, sales, etc.

And you still have not recognized that others who may have unflattering opinions about her talent are making informed judgements as well.

If you want to support Bee Keeper, there is nothing wrong with that. But, you won't be converting anyone into Lady Gaga fans anytime soon, especially with calling them idiots. In fact, you have probably hardened their ears against her music even further.

If you do appreciate her for her talent, then you would ask those who believe she is not talented to look past Lady Gaga's visual hijicks, and read the lyrics to one of her more serious songs. And maybe suggest a song for others to listen to that isn't so electro-poppy, or whatever it's called.

*sigh* This thread used to be about her consuming cannabis...

*sigh* This thread used to be about her consuming cannabis...

Maybe but even the very first reply was hating on her.

What can I say, haters gonna hate. But she's cool and being open about cannabis use on something like 60 minutes, well I just have to respect that.

 

[McSnappler]

I understand why a lot of people don't like Gaga.

I have a lot of respect for the talent you guys apparently believe she doesn't have.

Hardly worth arguing over though, is it?

This is IC Mag, insults are going to happen. The point I was trying to make is that, for a few post, the cannabis consumption was the subject, then it warped into her "talent", which is so subjective.

Whether or not she consumes cannabis is not my concern unless she starts becoming more active on trying to help change cannabis laws on the state or federal levels.

 

[ddrew]

Well lets talk about someone really talented, like britney spears, or miley cyrus, lol.
Those are two people that can barely spell their own name, but yet they still sell millions.
They can't write music, they can't even read it, or play an instrument. They dress up and sing, that's it

Compared to those two Gaga is Einstein

 

[BadTicket]

at least christina sings live. no poker face lip sync

Totally OT, but i wish she wouldn't sing at all. Terrible to listen, sure she has a great voice and shit, but the over-singing is horrible. I'd rather club baby seals than listen to her sing the US national anthem ever, AND THE ROCK MEANS EVER, again-ah!

 

[ROJO145]

IMO......she looks like Marilyn Manson in drag,like Karen Carpenter(just before she died)in a wig,there is nothing appealing about her,and to think she has talent just because a million kids like her is naive!!!
She is no artist,she did no struggling for her art,she,like every other modern performer(see the word) has been TOTALLY fabricated by marketers!!Another Bieber,another Swift,ad nauseum!!Stars are made in one nite now......the execs get together with the marketers and BOOM,its on.THEY DECIDE WHO YA LIKE,THEY DECIDE WHO IS NEXT.
If ya notice,none of these stars have a past,I mean one where they played small venues and clubs actually working on being a star,they took a shit one morning at 20 and the phone rang,your a star!!Real stars are dead,the money that makes the world move decide whos hot or not.

I fckn hate her music. But I can't say that she's not talented. No one can. That's a fact. She makes her own music and makes big bucks. She is talented. But I fckn hate her music.

From wikipedia:

She learned to play piano from the age of four, went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights by age 14.

she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears and labelmates New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls.

That was before she had made her first album.


I just want to state, that I reeeaallly hate her music. But I get really annoyed by ppl who think they know everything and spread around "info" they have made up in their own heads, based on the expression they have about the subject.

 

[ROJO145]

Hey Pole smoker,if ya gonna quote the wiki(lmao) then get it right,dont pick certain lines out and make your own paragraph up just to think youve done something creative,it really annoys me

She was a fucking burlesque actor in 2007,THATS when you can say she started her career!!!She started doing Lollapalooza as a fucking freak show until THEY MADE HER!!!
Thanks for proving my point tho.........

When I wrote that I actually edited the part out that said. Yea Yea I know Wikipedia is all BS and stuff.

The same info can be found anywhere, that was the first page that came up on google. I really don't care enough to make it clear to u guys. But she is talented, theres no running away from that.
Still I'd rather listen to bunch of fat naked guys farting in my room than her music.

 

[Jaymer]

up a notch, I like her music she has tons of commercial fans and said herself that a lot of people don't know what she's really about ad I got resprekt not to care if she smokes bowls and writes plenty of good music

 

[Guest3498]

Lady Gaga didnt she have an unreleased song called "Oh Sweet Tooth" ?

Actually it was called "Oh Iran bagseed" and it was wildly considered a complete joke.

No way I saw Taylor Swift vids and she had that stardom look like always being on stage. Even overnight stars are few and far and don't always last and certainly not on Lady Gaga's level. She's a celeb different than pros in the past considering the polls are so picky now and the tops are fewer making the choosen and choosers(she did have to choose to a contract) known on a much much larger scale.

Some of you guys are not very grounded... Other peoples choice in their sexuality is none of your business... And to use that as a slur is chicken shit... Maybe some of you have feelings you are ashamed of...
