Finally Lady Gaga has managed to press all my buttons...

I was only joking, I never meant to piss anyone off ~ I apologize

Say what You will....but that performance was genius, in my opinion.

Oh, Matthew, it didn't piss me off.

I was just going to say something like, "Yo, young lad, hold up there!". I was thinking about how if you were old enough to be around in Madonna's hey-day you probably would never say that. She was/is one of a kind!

That's all. Certainly no need to apologize!

I had mixed reactions to Gaga's drag performance. I like that it mixed things up, but it was in no way "genius." (See: 1984, Annie Lennox. Very similar). So, it wasn't groundbreaking, plus she set a bad example by puffing the cigarette and swilling the beer. I also think she came off looking like a poor man's Ralph Macchio in The Outsiders and talked like she was on Jersey Shore.
The performance was good, I thought, and it's always good to see the reactions.
I like Gaga, but I was very mixed on this.

Annie Lennox is genius quality, too.
It was an 'act'....it was theatre. I'm not a real Gaga fan, but I was impressed.

She's appealing to her younger little Monster crowd, she's a different, quirky, nerdy, and connects with kids that way. She puts a message out which is accept people for who and what they are. A lot of shit has been done before, she's today's sensation not an 80's one.

Very good points, and I agree with you on them. I was just talking with a friend, who pointed out Gaga sends out a much more positive message of acceptance than for instance Katy Perry with "I Kissed a Girl," which made it seem naughty and freaky and not natural.

Katy Perry is a fucking barsexual. It's so annoying of her.

ETA - although for some reason it didn't offend me when Jill Sobule did it.

Not a fan of the Perry, I hear cats wailing during her songs dunno why.
