My favorite part of this whole Gaga mess is that it's completely possible and likely that she won't outsell Born To Die. When 'So Legit' leaked and all of Joanne her stans went rampant. Remember how they said Lana's stans would "disappear"? Nkasls;; they were living.
They like her the most when she is subtle and not all in-your-face weirdo.
Yes I know. I lived in germany for the period mid 2009- mid 2010 and she was g0d. I remember people chanting poker face and bad romance inside the tends of the fruhlings/volksfest .
Sad how everything can change in a couple of years due to wrong career desicions.
Interesting article. Although I'd say Royals is more about class issues and critiquing obscene flashing of wealth rather than attacking hip hop culture and black people. But Lily Allen's video is awful and she should be ashamed of herself.
@ all of Beyonce's videos being sponsored by Pepsi and they're all multi-day on shot locations instead of in a production studio
she's coming for Lana her wig as the visual artiste of our time
So is that Guardian article saying that music videos by white artists should only have white dancers in them?
It's so ridiculous that we're at a point where you're not allowed to address what actually happens in our culture without being labeled as "racist." Lily Allen didn't invent the hip-hop video girl culture. Her music video wouldn't make sense if it was a bunch of white chicks because those are not the women who are featured in hip-hop videos, reduced to **** and ass. And she's also making the commentary that it's perfectly alright for a chick to shake her ass if that's what she wants to do and she's enjoying herself. But of course Social Justice Warriors would rather go after a white chick than any of the black artists who ORIGINATED the sexualization/objectification of black women in music videos. It's pathetic.
