This is how I feel about Gaga. I understand that the gimmicks and outrageousness were a way of creating a career - she's a good singer with good music but so are thousands of others, and when she was recording under her real name she wasn't really successful. The freak show was a way of setting herself apart and creating an identity, and it worked. She's a big star now.

But she used to not take it seriously, at least that's my impression. She was having fun with it but didn't buy into her own hype. She does now. She's fallen down that rabbit hole completely and now she just looks ridiculous.

And since I'm talking about Gaga, I find it incredibly hypocritical of her to sing "Born that Way" with all of her body modifications.

So, wait. You think it's a BAD thing that she actually means what she's doing? You'd prefer it to all be fake?

It's hypocritical for her to sing "Born that Way" at all. You already mentioned that she tried to make it under her own name and wasn't as well received and resorted to changing her image. Clearly she wasn't "born that way" and it is a gimmick.

I saw this and thought he hit the nail right on the head.

I fucking hate people who literalize the term "born that way." Like, there are lots of things to criticize about her, are you really going to go that far to just being stupid?

You are not born into a style. It's talking about sexuality.

Jesus. By that logic, is a queer hypocritical for singing born this way if they've dyed their hair? Switched styles somewhere between kindergarten and college? Give me a fucking break.
