The experts warned us in 2008. Now comes the consequences.

I was tortured last night as a house full of teens were watching the MTV Awards.
I really did enjoy Timberlakes arrangement, truly acceptable boundary for commercialism, but GaGa and the Cyrus freak show with Stuffed Animals was just incredibly lame.
I don't care who her daddy is, or what other dirtbag tactics she uses for attention.
If she isn't washed up, she needs to make room for somebody else as even my boys homies can't understnad why she keeps getting top slots in the corporation when there's so much better talent, and definately better ideas than stuffed animals and other weird gayness.

[next to nothing]

I can only imagine the horror.

The Onion is obviously not real news, but it's also obvious that these kids are used and owned by so many outside interests (pimps), that they are only left with pushing the envelope to the extreme in order to compensate for lack of talent.

Funny thing is that Lady Gaga CAN actually sing, and perhaps even do Broadway some day if she was smart enough.

Britney Spears shaves her head, Justin Butthead pisses into a flower pot while rambling on About Bill Clinton.

You wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it yourself.

The real point is that these media whores are serving as HUGE diversions and distractions from what's really going on in the world.

What strikes me about Gaga is that her music is the most conservative, corporate stuff you can get. You're gonna need a meatfrock to get a little balance.

Gaga before she was famous:

Gaga has had formal and informal training combined with raw talent and a great booty too.
At CES here a few years back she did a great, very personal show and we were backstage near the peasant dressing rooms and heard her warming up, not knowing who it was until later.
Usually someone whacking the charts has special Suites and an entourage of personal trainers, servants, butlers, etc. She wasn't even recognized until later when she tipped the Stagehands and everyone involved handsomely.
So her media tactics are meant for the instant gratification crowd of the times, but she really is rooted in old school training and a personality that makes people want to work harder and harder when around her.
I have seen many many performers and worked with many, and in all the years of friends experiences and my own, 3 names are always brought up as the best people to work for.
KD Lang, Steven Tyler and GaGa.

When you think about it, the formula hasn't really changed much since the days of the Charleston Dance and the Roaring 20s.
Glenn Miller did it too.
Tuneful music with a groove.
My folks loved Glenn Miller and could hum only a few of the hook lines or vocal parts.
But they danced and had a great time.

But I can't imagine my mother suffering through an award show. She would be so jacked off.
