dude....you should look into one of the "enhancement" products available online if you're unhappy with your own gear.... You should at least "try" and mask your envy next time!

You must like her a little bit. You have all these pics of her stored on your computer.

My wife, daughter and sister in law went. They said she put on one of the best performances they have ever seen. Definitely not a place for the socially conservative or thumper types, though.

What's your interpretation? Nit pick with the minute details all you like, bios often get related differently, but show me where the general substance of what I said is wrong. Let's compare some quotes from your own reference to what I said...

"She learned to play piano from the age of four, went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights by age 14"

"An avid actor in high school musicals, Gaga portrayed lead roles as Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."

"At age 17, Gaga gained early admission to the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts"

"There she studied music and improved her songwriting skills by composing essays and analytical papers focusing on topics such as art, religion, social issues and politics."

"By the second semester of her sophomore year, she withdrew from the school to focus on her musical career.[31] Her father agreed to pay her rent for a year, on the condition that she re-enroll for Tisch if she was unsuccessful. "I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate **** until somebody would listen," she said.[24]"

"She also started the Stefani Germanotta Band with some friends from NYU. They recorded an extended play of their ballads at a studio underneath a liquor store in New Jersey, becoming a local fixture at the downtown Lower East Side club scene."

"During her early time at Interscope, she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists"

"Gaga subsequently struck a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV.[47] As a result, she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears and labelmates New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls."

The list of musical projects and endeavors preceding Fame is too long and varied to repost here, read all the rest at wiki. When I said "most talented" I wasn't trying to diminish other highly talented performers, that was a reaction to the ridiculous "no talent" comments from those who can't see past the pop image. The point stands, she got where she got the hard way, on her own, by sheer determination and sticking to her music through many difficult years.

Wow this was ****ing amazing!! She was a little late but that's okay. People were dressed up and everything. This was pretty cool. The crowd went totally INSANE when she came out! The Toyota center was shaking Saw some people collapsing. I lost my voice but that dosen't matter. Everybody was dancing and screaming throughout the entire concert. It's gets crazier every year. Her show was the best show I have ever seen. Just wow. So much effort she puts into it. Amazing. Craziest concert ever!
The haters might not like her but she is definitely the most successful and loved artist and if she continues like this, she will soon be the most successful artist of all time We will be back next year! Not sure if I would do floor again. Her audience is too crazy and I can't compete with a 300 lbs little monster bodyslamming me to get to the front lol.

You're behind times. Gaga is not looked down upon in Texas.

That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I really miss going to concerts and your enthusiasm has got me wanting to go to one again.

i didnt realize the average age of the CD poster was 87.


she definitely speaks for a lot of adults and most importantly kids who don't have very many other people willing to speak for them. i have only heard her singles played on the radio but i cant remember any of them being dirty or full of curse words. so i dont know what stranglehold she is supposedly putting on society as one poster stated

generally the more outrageous the front person is and the number of people who come to a show dressed up/in costume the more awesome the experience. the first time i saw the Addicts play i still cant get over how awesome it was. or reggie and the full effect even


hell her being mistaken for a transgender person may be the most socially important thing she'll ever do

I like a wide range of music so I like both Lady Gaga and George Strait.
