Oh, yeah, Matthew's comment pissed me off too (truth be told).

Or, I was being nice to Madonna. You decide.

Also: I am not naked. Just I'm wearing Betty Boop pj bottoms and a super ratty old A-Shirt. I guess it's okay for the pizza delivery-person to see me like that.

Definitely. Get extra sauce and extra cheese.

I dunno. She's kinda douchebaggy in drag.

If you can't say something nice, get out of the thread!

(and order pizza....you grump!)

Im not a fan but I like her better as a butch

Why was she all hunched over? Looked like an old man. The beer wasn't very cool either

Now now. I think she looked sufficiently foxy. I just think that often drag is pretty boring because people act so douchebaggy when they're doing it.

I do love Lady Gaga and her balls! I love her shock effect!

Imho she's hot in drag - the cigs I don't like, but HER, I like!
Smooches,

I was only joking, I never meant to piss anyone off ~ I apologize

Say what You will....but that performance was genius, in my opinion.

Oh, Matthew, it didn't piss me off. :) I was just going to say something like, "Yo, young lad, hold up there!". I was thinking about how if you were old enough to be around in Madonna's hey-day you probably would never say that. She was/is one of a kind!

That's all. Certainly no need to apologize!

I had mixed reactions to Gaga's drag performance. I like that it mixed things up, but it was in no way "genius." (See: 1984, Annie Lennox. Very similar). So, it wasn't groundbreaking, plus she set a bad example by puffing the cigarette and swilling the beer. I also think she came off looking like a poor man's Ralph Macchio in The Outsiders and talked like she was on Jersey Shore.
The performance was good, I thought, and it's always good to see the reactions.
I like Gaga, but I was very mixed on this.

Annie Lennox is genius quality, too.
It was an 'act'....it was theatre. I'm not a real Gaga fan, but I was impressed.

She's appealing to her younger little Monster crowd, she's a different, quirky, nerdy, and connects with kids that way. She puts a message out which is accept people for who and what they are. A lot of shit has been done before, she's today's sensation not an 80's one.

Very good points, and I agree with you on them. I was just talking with a friend, who pointed out Gaga sends out a much more positive message of acceptance than for instance Katy Perry with "I Kissed a Girl," which made it seem naughty and freaky and not natural.

ETA - although for some reason it didn't offend me when Jill Sobule did it.

She's definately someone who is appealing more to the youth of today, as we all know that even though we still have a LONG way to go to gain acceptance for the LGBTQ community its in many ways so much better today thus Gaga can appeal to the younger crowd ....... I'm very much a fan :)

I asked myself "What the heck is a branding expert?" It ought to refer to a working cowboy heating up irons. Do people actually pay other people to tell them how to be? Gosh!
