What do you think about Lady GaGa?

March 31, 2010 By: veniceblogger Category: Venice

She dances like Britney, sings like Beyoncé, her black makeup and her long face remind us of Amy Winehouse, she has a touch of gothic – just like P!nk -, is as provocative as Madonna, rock’ n ‘roll like Avril Lavigne, she likes the white wigs style of Gwen Stefani, but doesn’t have the exoticism of Shakira … the brand Lady Gaga seems to be a mixture of elements inspired by today’s pop stars, but when you looked closer, that feeling disappears: Lady GaGa has a very specific style of her own. What is it that we have never seen before and yet like so much about her? A penis?

Lady GaGa

She’s 24 years old, her name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, she’s known as Lady GaGa ( Inspired on the song of Queen, ‘Radio GaGa’) and cannot live without her Great Danes Lava & Rumpus. Ever since the American magazine Rolling Stone wrote that she’s a hermaphrodite (like snails), paparazzi are anxiously waiting for a photo to proof this. Moreover, in an interview she said she was a bisexual, but her love for woman is only physical attraction. Does she really have two sexes or is it just a brilliant marketing strategy?

What most defines Lady GaGa is her style: futuristic as an alien, eccentric as a transvestite and glamorous as a pin-up. It’s fascinates and repulsing at the same time is this enigmatic mixture that creates a kind of unrealistic model of a women. Is she merely a product of modern society or truly innovative?

Lady GaGa’s Music Videos

To discover all the facets of this new specimen, it is essential to watch one of her clips, Just Dance, Poker Face, Bad Romance or Telephone for example. The choreographies often imitate a robot dance, in a luxury and cool décor where the sexy singer conveys both fear and fascination. She just started a tour through Australia and Japan, after which she will visit Europe before finally going back to the United States.

Discretion is the sworn enemy of Lady GaGa, who dresses up with pink or white wigs, sunglasses, very high heels in all colors and above all, the most unusual costumes. She loves leather, lace, tattoos, nail polish with diamonds and surrealistic hats. A more than unique style!

Her songs are not going to rewrite music history, but if something about them catches our attention, it’s the lyrics. Like most singers, Lady GaGa talks about love, sex and drugs, work and loneliness, but sometimes she cries out in a way we have never heard before: wawa, mamama, gaga ulúlala … This is called electro glam or just pop.

If you had no idea who Lady Gaga is, your imagination will now have enough facts to reconstruct her image. To summarize, Lady GaGa is a darer. Finally, her song ‘Bad Romance’ is a wink to Marilyn Monroe, who sang ‘Fine Romance’! She does have a little something of Marilyn Manson too, don’t you think?

If something is not disputed is the charm of Italian cities and especially Venice. Plan a getaway in Italy with your partner and rent the best apartments in Venice, it’s prices and amenities are as dazzling as Lady GaGa.
