Lady Gaga - "Dance In The Dark"


New Lady Gaga from The Fame Monster out November 24th. Originally this album was going to be a re-release of Fame but Gaga said:

"I think re-releases are unfair... It’s artists sneaking singles onto an already finished piece of work in an effort to keep the album afloat. Originally [my label] only wanted me to put out three songs and now it’s much more than that. It’s a new album’s worth of material."

I agree. I'm not someone who fiends for more new Gaga, but I have to admit, Gaga gives me a little bit of hope for the female pop superstar. As much as I make fun of her for her craziness, her masks, and her balls, I think she's good for the image of pop stars. Her success has nothing to do with her being attractive. She looks better with a mask on. Her outfits rival Marilyn Manson for the craziest shit ever worn on MTV and her performances are wildly artistic. I'm not trying to push Lady Gaga, but I think she's a good substitute for your average female pop superstar. Now if we can only find a Justin Timberlake who wears masks and takes to stage in strange orbs.

I like how you say you're not pushing Lady Gaga, but yet you blog about her. Closet case.

Oh, and btw, Lady Gaga is the best thing happening to mainstream music right now.

I really like your comments on Gaga, spot on IMO! Oddly enough I get the most criticism singing her praises to my 'alternative' friends - you think they'd be more open to something slightly different.

Eh the mainstream needs somebody like Gaga. Although her music isn't the best at the moment she represents what pop music should be sounding like in the 21st century. All these other female artists sound so corny and as far as female artists go Rihanna and Gaga are at the top when it comes to bringing that new sound. Plus they make there videos more entertaining because of the creativity they bring. They make it feel like the 21st century because they are bringing shit that makes it feel like the future is now. Kanye did it with Hip Hop and now some of the new rappers and even Jay are following.

The next decade is the new 80's(excluding much of the crazyness and eccentricity) and it's gonna be different from the bullshit music coming out on the the top of the billboard charts in the past decade (like a rebellion or renegade attempt by many artists). Many indie artists are already going mainstream just like how bands like Blondie and Talking Heads were in the late 70's and early 80's, helping New Wave get popular and record labels wanting to sign them. It's happening right now to many indie artists who you usually expect to remain loyal to their hippies(hipsters) and indie followers.

I doubt I see hardcore punk or anything remotely similar coming within the next decade though. Rock music right now is in a dull state.

Yeah, I went off topic but what you think Confusion?

Ours is an envionment where evil is perceived to be rewarded while good is punished. As with everything the Gods have a reason for creating this perception::::
People who fall on the good side of the good/evil scale have more favor, and when they do something wrong the Gods punish them BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO LEARN. The Gods want them to receive this feedback in hope they make corrections and begin to behave appropriately. The Gods DON'T like evil and refuse to grant this feedback.
EVERYBODY pays for what they do wrong, only evil people must wait until their next life before they will experience the wrath of the Gods, manifested in their reincarnation as a lower form of life into environments with increased/enhanced temptations.
Sadly, this allows the Gods to position this perception of evil rewarded as temptation, one which they use as an EXTREMELY effective corruptor.

Both Africa and the Medittereanean are regions which have sexual issues. This is a sign of morbid disfavor once you understand that females are the God's favored gender. Muhammad's (Mohammed's) polygamy halfway through his life as a prophet was preditory. Now a huge percentage of Muslims believes in male superiority and that the abuse of women is God's will. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Africa. Black misogyny is the most eggregious example in the recent past.
Black member size is temptation to a predisposed population.
The patriarchal cancer spread throughout Europe because of Christianity, of which the majority of policy makers were Italian men. Expect the largest landowner in Europe and the continent's original superpower also played a major role in African slavery.

Militancy in Africa is consistant with the Iraqi example, as was slavery and the KKK here in America:::Fear enforces proper behavior. Without it we see what happens as a result of gross/morbid disfavor:::::AIDS, crack babies, dead young men in gangland retaliation killings. This is the purpose behind many black's historical tendancy towards resistance.
The same principle was true in Europe and throughout the world for centuries:::People whom lived under iron fists were conditioned to think the right way. As a result they experienced higher numbers of children ascend into heaven because they were taught to think and behave appropriately, which they passed on to their children. Our preditory envionment of "freedom" was the primary purpose the Gods had when implimenting this strategy that is the United States, one which they used to spred the cancer of democracy and westernization throughout the world. And the Gods use this tool that is America to prey on the disfavored both at home and abroad:::Much like the ghetto, America in general experiences a heightened level of temptation due to the people's disfavor.

Even the Old Testiment is not to be taken literally, but the Gods do offer clues throughout to help the disfavored:::The apple is a tool of temptation used to corrupt Adam and Eve and cast them out of the Garden of Eden.
There is another lesson to be learned from this passage, and it is quite similar to the vailing issue and the discourse over women's attire which ultimately died in the 70s:::Women are responsible for and control the fate of mankind.

Think about what I say. Consider what I teach. Society is going to become disturbingly ugly as we approach the Apocalypse due to spiralling, runaway disfavor.
I do not know when this will occurr, but it is the God's way to grant some time before they end on Planet Earth.
Make the decision to always be good and never look back. Until you do this technology will employ tactics to test your resolve:::Ridicule, beligerance, doubt and refusal to abandon what people perceive to be their "investment".
Pray daily. Think appropriately. Too many are confident, unaware of the God's awesome powers or their status as antients. Others may fall prey to their positioning.
Be humbled, God-fearing and beware of the God's temptations, for everyone is tested to evaluate their worthiness.

So I take it you didn't like the new Gaga track?

I heard the Gods loved Gaga.

Confusion said...

@why? : Sorry I missed your comment because of that craziness.

I agree with you for the most part. I guess the only thing I don't agree with is the way music in the 21st "should" sound. I think it's always good to have variation, and although some trends will forever change the direction of future music, I don't think there's ever a "right" or "wrong" sound.

It sounds a bit like a song by the Bee Gees, How Deep Is Your Love.

Daniel aka Midnight Kid said...

She kinda reminds me of like a modern day Prince, albeit not maybe as talented. Well talented isn't the right word, just not as advance I should say. She's doing her own thing. Something new in a genre that has gone pretty stale in my opinion.

Lady Gaga is the one of the most talented musicians in America at the moment. Yes she is controversial but that is what makes her popular.

And her voice, need I say any more. Just awesome.

Alex - it's much more like Depeche Mode's Strangelove - probably b/c it uses an interpolation of one of its keyboard hooks. At least to my ear.
