Lady GaGa is influential, whether the haters on Youtube agree or not.

You know what, ive had just about enough of people bad mouthing Lady GaGa simply because of her outfits. I was just visiting the old Youtube, when i came across a very beautiful and touching song by Christina Aguilera, only to scroll down to the comments and see people absolutely degrading poor Lady GaGa. Seriously! Its not even her video!!

I see comments relating to her outfits being ridiculous, and they being the only reason why she is even noticed in the music industry. I see degrading about her rumoured transgender status, and i see comments stating that she cant sing! Like, hello?! If she couldnt sing she wouldnt just get famous because she walks around in her underwear.

“Oh look,” says the manager of Buena Vista Records, “Shes wearing her underwear and a tuxedo jacket, lets just throw her a record deal.”

I want to say, that although Lady GaGa does have some crazy, and alot of the time, over-the-top costumes, she also has a marvellous voice. She can sing. She holds notes well. I also want to clarify, that although I am a huge GaGa fan, i much prefer listening to her acoustic versions, as you can hear the rawness in her voice, and the actual way its supposed to be sang without the commonly over the top electronic sounds.

And honestly, whats wrong with her dressing differently? If i was famous, i would honestly probably be doing the same thing as her. She’s not blending in and being critisized for being ‘just another pop singer,’ shes actually making herself known. If she was just conservative and plain, for example, Stacie Orrico, (like, where the hell did she disappear to?) then she would not have made it this far. Its because she dresses differently and makes a statement that she has became so known and loved, because there are so many young artists trying to break through, that you NEED that little extra bit to become the girl that makes the world go ‘WOW!’

At least she isnt like all the other famous people who end up going off the rails and disappearing, only to remain in the spotlight for their horrible mistakes. Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, who else? I could go on for pages of the dispicable role models that we have in the spotlight, and all GaGa is doing by dressing differently, is encouraging young girls to be themselves, not to follow crowds, and to certainly not be who everyone wants you to be. Quite frankly, if i had children, i dont think i would have any problem with them looking up to GaGa, as her messages are not all negative, like said celebrities above.

And whats this CRAP i see about her being transgender?! Who the fuck cares! Quite simply, she is just another human being. Who cares if she MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE both sexual organs. Its a rumour, and in no way and i saying she has both a penis and a vagina, but i dont care if she has them both, one or the other, or none. She sings, she dances, she has a terrific voice, much better than all the wannabees flashing there shit across Youtube, thinking that they have authority to degrade someone who is always going to be more famous then them. Grow up, and earn some respect. Shes worked hard to get where she is, and you have no right to take that away from her. Be nice for a change. Sheeez..

She may have some very provactive ideas, but being in the music industry, i could imagine, would be exhausting. Give her some credit for making it fun for everyone else! :)
