I'm not here for the monsters now trying to rewrite history (since they can't look forward to anything) to make it seem like she ushered a new era of equality. And all of you are gays too, you should appreciate the contributions of your own people that led things to being how they are now. Love yourselves.
That reminds me when Gay Marriage was legalized in California and Tilla Tequilla made a long ass post claiming that her show changed the way people look @ gays and thats why it was legalized. Like decades worth of work put in by people constantly working towards equality means nothing
And if she has another huge era, it won't mean she will surpass whatever she's done before. It could be Teenage Dream-sized (a HUGE era), but that's as far as she will ever go. And she still would not gross 400m ever.
Keep up xo.
Lol do you seriously think if she added another 6 #1 hits and a 6m selling album to her legacy she would not near 400m? Mind you she could have easily grossed 250m with her current status alone if she had added the traditional post-superbowl US leg. Another 6 #1 hits in one era and she'd easily have the soundtrack to an entire generation.
Less than a decade later, female pop stars — much like the rest of society — have come so far in scrambling gender stereotypes that it seems a little old-fashioned to have to stop and point all of this out. “Weirdness” soon became, of all things, the norm. Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and Nicki Minaj all appeared as if in a contest to out-strange one another. In a 2013 New York Times piece, Heather Havrilesky noted the way in which Minaj, then an American Idol judge whose of-the-moment values stood in stark contrast to her generational predecessor Mariah Carey, came to embody this very millennial power of brazen artificiality: “Freaky fakeness on the outside — bouffant hairdos, gigantic shoes, bizarre outfits — is now interpreted as a sign of strength and realness on the inside.”
We had Gaga to thank for this. And, also, to blame.
I might be too strung out on compliments
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a ****
And stopped fearing the consequence
Drinking every night
Because we drink to my accomplishments
Best song of all time. Seriously. Never gets old. Never ever...
The fact is: Lady Gaga has always been very talented, and Lady Gaga has always been sort of *******. That’s a great combination, and there’s no reason to think this will change in the immediate future. My favorite recent headline about her, from the website Idolator, speaks volumes: “Lady Gaga Takes a Nude Selfie in an Infrared Sauna, Covers ‘La Vie en Rose’ Live.”
And yes, that song will stand as the most memorable performance from the Radio City show. She brings people in my row to tears, and there are audible gasps when she hits That Note at the end. She sings it like the powerhouse she is; it’s somehow more ballsy than the Edith Piaf version and more conventionally beautiful than Grace Jones’s. It might have taken Tony Bennett to get her here, singing this unlikely song in such a grand and dignified setting, but in this moment she doesn’t need him. Gaga’s always been a duet between the masculine and feminine elements of herself, existing in a cultural moment in which we’re all suddenly allowed to admit there’s nothing weird about that. http://www.vulture.com/2015/07/lady-...es-normal.html
