I've been meaning to do a Lady Gaga post for awhile. I've felt like I'm the only person on earth that isn't totally into her schtick and I could never articulate exactly what I wanted to say about her. Recently, however, M.I.A. let me off the hook by stating my opinion of Gaga better than I could. From NME:
"People say we're similar, that we both mix all these things in the pot and spit them out differently...but she spits it out exactly the same. None of her music's reflective of how weird she wants to be or thinks she is. She models herself on Grace Jones and Madonna but the music sounds like 20 year-old Ibiza disco. She's not progressive, but she's a good mimic."
In conclusion, and at the risk of this blog becoming "Pulp on YouTube", I'd rather be a Mis-Shape than a little monster:
