EDITORIAL: Is Lady Gaga Madonna?

ladygagagaga EDITORIAL: Is Lady Gaga Madonna?

1. Is she copying artists?
2. Are her outfits ‘fashion’ or straight out tacky?

3. Are her stories of a being a misfit in school who spent her days in the Lower East Side corridors true?
4. Can she dance?

5. Is she just a media whore who uses every bit of image control to her advantage?

6. Is she burning herself out and will she run out of material?
7. Is she just a one hit wonder who is trying to milk this as fast as she can (explaining her dizzying pace?)
8. Why doesn’t she focus more on her musical strengths…the piano!

9. Why doesn’t she focus on music period?

10. Is she Madonna?

The one question that will answer all these questions with its answer is: Is she Madonna?

The great Madonna will be revered as the Beatles, Beethoven, Alexander The Great, Albert Einstein and even Godric Griffindor. The woman has inspired so much of the past 25 years. Imagine the global impact of clubs and music halls across the world filled to the thousands with her music radiating throughout!

Imagine the global impact of millions of ear phones collectively playing American Life, willing her into millions of minds every day. Imagine the global impact of millions of pages turned to the image of Madonna’s pussy at the time when the word ‘pussy’ produced squeals and squeams.

Imagine the global impact of people who sat in clubs high ,contemplating their life after doing one too many to the sound of Holiday. Imagine the global impact of a singer being banned in a country for their music, not for committing crime.

Madonna on cross 8 EDITORIAL: Is Lady Gaga Madonna?

Imagine the inspiration to rebel against a stale establishment! A single person stands behind all those imagines…Madonna. Whether you think the message sent is right or wrong, whether you agree the vehicle is ethical or moral. Madonna is fool-proof awesomeness by sheer magnitude. Magnitude is what makes this woman as impressive as Alexander The Great. So let me ask you this…

1. Is she copying people?
2. Are her outfits ‘fashion’ or straight out tacky?

3. Are her stories of a being a misfit in school who spent her days in the Lower East Side corridors true?

4. Can she dance?

5. Is she just a media whore who uses every bit of image control to her advantage?

6. Is she burning herself out and will she run out of material?

7. Is she just a one hit wonder who is trying to milk this as fast as she can (explaining her dizzying pace?)

8. Why doesn’t she focus more on her musical strengths…the piano!
9. Why doesn’t she focus on music period?

Lady GaGa is no Madonna in any shape or form. She is kind of like a carriage horse put alongside a thoroughbred. The thing is, this carriage has the will to pump her veins with thoroughbred blood and hone herself to perfection. I see a woman in Lady GaGa that is powerful and ready to take on whatever may come her way. In an interview with Hard Candy site she said she put all her advance money into the Haus of GaGa and her tour.

This shows a woman prepping to wage a musical blitzkrieg on the world. The fact is, every day shes got another photo shoot and another crazy outfit. A song leaks every moment while we are flipping through the images of her that day. This woman might be Madonna if she could survive the pace she is setting. She can be more than life if she perseveres all the critics and naysayers – and not for a year or two. I am talking about a decade. Then we can call her a fierce bitch. – Jake

Pink performs Glitter In The Rain at The 2010 Grammy Awards

Pink always does a professional job with her performances, taking them very seriously.  This year at the  Grammy Awards she performed a water soaked, boobs  barely covered performance of Glitter In The Rain.  After Beyonce killed it with If I Were a Boy/You Oughta Know, Pink followed up with perfect vocals and a passion that seems to go on forever.  She flew over the audience in a Cirque du Soleil style trapeze, complete with water pouring all over her perfectly toned body. Beautiful and touching.

Oh, my, Beyonce.  The Queen B, showed the world and the Grammy Academy that she’s a force to be reckoned with. What a voice, and the drama. I could have done without all those dancers walking around next to her, come on B…you know you can take that stage all by yourself.  How hot does she look, flawless! Just when I thought she’d finish, she whips out a cover of Alanis Morissette’s You Outta Know. So unexpected, yet befitting. Love that girl, love love her.

It’s Grammy time again, and this year she’s 52! No, not your Grandma, Grammy….The Grammy Awards!

Lady GaGa and Sir Elton John kick off this years show with a rendition of Speechless/Your Song. What an amazing performance.  I feel like i’ve finally seen a portion of GaGa that seems genuine. Not when she was being thrown about and hardly dancing during the introduction/medley of songs, but when she sat down at the piano.  This girl belongs at that damn instrument, writing songs like this.  She was truly excited to be performing, you could see her eyes beaming…and Speechless sounds like a song that would be sung by Sir Elton at any point through his career.  Perfect performance! - Matt

THE REAL McCOY: Runaway (FLASHBACK)

Certain songs are made to be soundtracks, its plain to see from the bounce of the dude with the Ipod plugged into his ears. I mean one day I want a soundtrack tune made for myself, I think I would have Vangelis make mine or resurrect Bach to write me a violent one. I know everyone has a song they strut to and this one was definite one of them for me. I will write my list of sound tracked moments to The Real McCoy ‘s Runaway.

1. I Runaway-ed, strutting down my high school hallways

2. I Runaway-ed, while being plugged to my Ipod on the train to School.

3. I Runaway-ed, when I broke up with my lover and went home.

4. I Runaway-ed, after a especially happy go lucky moment.

5. I Runaway-ed, laying back in bed and dreaming of adolescent thoughts.

6. I Runaway-ed, xxxxxxxooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooxxxoooooo this is a PG13 site.

7. I Runaway-ed, leaving the whole episode behind me with a laugh.

8. I Runaway-ed, walking around the drug store looking for odds and ends.

9. I Runaway-ed, while ice skating in Prospect Park ice rink.

Enjoy this dance classic, appropriate for every moment. – Jake

THE KILLERS – HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUADALUPE

  THE KILLERS   HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUADALUPE
Some of our favorite kids are releasing Christmas gifts! I think its great that some artist take up the tradition of the big red man, I kind of like the free aspect of it, lol. Free or not Happy Birthday Guadalupe is one hell of a view, expect what the track title implies, don’t look for any sleigh bells it just aint happening. It starts of with a hot stud waking up in Mexico on a Christmas morning , I have no idea why you would use a hot place (FYI he mentions its cold outside) for a Christmas song. I kind of get the vibe of a Tommy Lee Jones movie when he gets on that truck with all the day workers. If you love Angels and hot summer love on a Christmas morning you will love happy birthday Guadalupe by the KILLERS! – JAKE 
All proceeds of happy birthday Guadalupe goes to the RED fight against Aids.
