ALL WE HEAR IS RADIO GAGA

So Lady Gaga has apparently “outed’ herself. Is anyone surprised? Is this really news? Does anyone really care?

I don’t know of anyone who really gave it a second thought when she said she was bisexual. I don’t understand why she feels the need to air her sex life on the tabloids.
It would make more sense, perhaps, if she were making up for a lack of talent by constantly doing over the top things to keep newsworthy. But she’s not a bad musician, [I must admit I do like Paparazzi].

The most recent picture of the gay activist floating about the internet is disgusting and a total PR stunt. Why she feels she must stoop to these levels is beyond me, but it says more about our culture. She does it because it works. I should say, it works with gay men. Gay women, seem not as impressed.

She is a total publicity whore. She’s made sure that even if we are not smitten with her, we are smitten with what she’ll do next. Either way, she’s guaranteed to be in the news.

Ironically her name, “Lady GaGa” is an inadvertent reference to the Queen song Radio Gaga. I find that to be very telling. Do we really have nothing better to talk about than whether or not she is gay or a hermaphrodite?

She actually attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. How is anyone supposed to recognize her talent when it is her shameless PR stunts that are making headlines? And even if they do recognize that she is talented, how can they not be alienated by the antics?

As annoying as she is, the more confounding thing is that people are eating it up. I suppose these are the same audiences as reality shows have. Kind of like a bad wreck; you can’t NOT look.

“Stephanie Germotta, We see you!” quoth fellow Parcbench writer, Don Smith, with empathetic pity.

Despite my disgust for her antics, throughout the course of writing this article, I really got in to her music. Because it’s good, catchy, fun music. Well done, Lady Gaga!
