Gaga or Not !!

I am not a lady gaga fan but I was watching MTV the other day randomly and happened to see the bad romance video. I admit I do like the song probably the only song of hers I like. Also cos the glee cast did a good version lol maybe cos I understood the lyrics finally cos when she sings it I can only half understand what she says!! Anyways whilst watching this video it got me thinking how can this woman be the topic of so many headlines and be such a cultural phenomenon. Is she pretending to be like that or is she really as gaga as she seems. Personally I don't get!! I mean maybe I am being a bit of a prude for a lady in a her late 20s but no way would I have been allowed to watch this video when I was about young teenager also I am not sure it would of been made. Its kinda scary with the monster like costumes and burning a bloke at the end. Don't get wrong I get what she's trying  to say but as a teenager I think it would confuse me more about the opposite sex maybe that's just me. Also many of her videos promote this message to hate men!! As they sometimes seem to be the enemy.

I do think she loves the controversy though she is definitely a attention seeker why else would you put a cola can in your hair right?? A lot of people have compared her to Madonna but to be honest she is no Madonna I actually think Madonna had raw talent but maybe that's just me. I am not saying Lady Gaga is talentless but it almost seems like she lives off the attention she gets from the media and deliberately does things that are off the wall to get people talking. Alot of people would say she is clever because she has got people talking right hey all publicity in America is good publicity and its seems to have worked for her. What gets to me about her is what is her influence doing the young people who are fans!!! I mean it almost seems like Lady Gaga is a bit of mirage. She seems unreal but she genuinely advocates herself as being like she is I really doubt that OK I am cynic but I am thinking about what her true appeal is??? The costumes in her videos are noteworthy and innovative and her music is different to current artists but what makes her so appealing to others. I mean telephone the song that song was number 1 for ages and I just don't understand why!!

It probably sounds like I am bad mouthing poor gaga a bit but I guess I am intrigued at how someone to me who is moderately talented is getting so much attention. Why are so many people simply Gaga over Lady Gaga personally I am getting feeling the appeal. Answers on a postcard please. 

Oh and maybe if Gaga was portrayed as a goody two shoes like she is below she wouldn't be as famous as she is!! Well its def got me thinking she def has talent here check it out the unseen lady gaga yes that really is her!!














Nobody's Perfect

An Apt title for Jessie J's Song see the lyrics here.

I think we all make mistakes but we don't necessarily admit to them right. When I first listened to this song a few months ago it got me thinking about a disagreement I had with a now ex friend. It made me realise I was at fault but also I felt like if I didn't express my true feelings I also wasn't being true to myself. Nobody's perfect is really a true adage. I know I am not perfect I have a have a temper from time to time but I also believe a have strong set of principles. We can only do what we think is right I guess right? I really think intuition is a very good road to follow when you don't know which way to go. 

We all have good and bad points I guess that's what makes us human right? Sometimes we fall out with friends/family for silly reasons but if people are true and genuine they should forgive you I guess its one of those lessons in life we have to learn. Even when we think we have learned from it we still sometimes get it wrong. Well I still am lol !! Also if people can't forgive you or forgot you imperfections maybe they just weren't worth it. I am not saying you should ignore your own faults but sometimes you can't change who you are. If you can like who are you warts and all shouldn't that be enough.

Also I think its important that we don't regret things if you make a mistake with someone you should be brave enough to face up to it. Sometimes that's easier said then done. We all regret things we have done in the past but I think its what we learn about ourselves from such incidents that really matter. Life is about making mistakes we should learn to forgive be understanding and help others when we see fit. Don't get me wrong we all have our off days and I am no saint. These are my own beliefs I am spouting here but we should realise that the world is already quite a tough place anyway and without consideration and compassion for others what do we have. I am not saying we should forgive criminals or murderers but I am sure people who have done truly horrible things and harmed others deeply will live with the consequences.So we should try and get along as best we can and not be cruel for the sake of it. Unless you are just a cruel person and if that be the case then that's fine but that is a bit pitiful really because there is always a  reason behind why a person is the way they are and behave.
