Oookay, I just have to say something. Lady Gaga. What an icon, right? She is, in my opinion, quite the human being. When she was first becoming popular I was definitely not a fan. My sister was, like, a die hard fan on the other hand. All of the time it was, "Just dance!" I was not amused. Then one night I was watching Saturday Night Live, the best show ever on NBC and Lady Gaga was the performer for that episode. Great! Right? So I was listening to this artist that I despised and was like, "Wait a second.. Who is this? Surely this piano and awesome voice is not that dance-techno-sounding woman that my sister's in love with." I was converted.
Moving on.
Her style choices have always been a little weird to me, and I guess to a lot of the public, but I always try to read the stories behind those bizzarre wardrobe choices of hers, so I was understanding and loving still. I've seen countless interviews of hers with the reoccurring theme of living life rejecting prejudice, rejecting cliche`, and rejecting normality in the eyes of people who hold themselves to be better than you somehow. Now, obviously this is paraphrased. But she's a very confident and controversal person that I've basically learned to respect.
Now, to the point of my blogging tonight! February 14, 2011, Lady Gaga is on Jay Leno and I am seeing for the first time these strange... HORNS coming out of her face and shoulders! I had to do a double take, sure I'm being dramatic, but I just did not understand her thoughts behind the eyebrowless, horny mess. Usually I'm very supportive and full of admiration, but right now all I can do is blog about it. I am distressed.
For those who haven't seen, this is the cover art for her new single: Born This Way.
Now, in this picture she actually looks pretty glamorous pulling off this strange sort of "I'm filming an alien movie right now" look. But on Jay Leno tonight she really wasn't looking THIS great.
I'm still a fan and I'm still going to download this album as soon as it comes out in May, but I'm not going to understand for a while why exactly she chose this look. :) I know that it's probably perfect in her eyes though and hey! That's what matters, right?
