Gaga over Lady Gaga

Isn't she's pretty here?
Lady Gaga, an American pop singer-songwriter and one of the most influential people in the world. And I bet every iphone, ipod or ipad in every teenagers have a list of Lady Gaga's latest hits. Because even my boyfriend's eight years old niece have them in her dad's laptop. And she can do sing with it and pronounce every word of every song. And if you would really understand every word of it, it is actually not appropriate for an eight year old girl to sing. But we really can't control kids anymore with what song they can hear or not especially with the easy access on the internet. What we can do only is to guide them and explain what are those words in the lyrics that are not appropriate yet on their age and let them enjoy the rhythm of the song (which in the first place the reason why they are singing it). 


And because of that, I found myself watching Lady Gaga music videos, interviews and reading some articles about her on the net. And in a snap, I became a Lady Gaga fan or what she called her "little monster" after wards. Even if I will be going into a conservative type of person, I still would like to hear her music, meaning the rhythm and tunes eliminating the words (actually some words only, you know what I mean). It is actually fun and it is the kind of music that you want to use in a party or when you want to be in a party mood. But after watching her interviews, reading some articles about her and learning more of her, I then came to a point that you can enjoy the song much much better if you will agree with the lyrics and with the tunes all together. For me, you will be surely a Lady Gaga fan if as a first step, you must know who is Lady Gaga as a person, her point of views, her inspirations in every songs and some other things and then you will enjoy her songs and understand it and maybe can relate to some of it too. 


I am a fan not only to her music, but to what a Lady Gaga is as a person. I admire her, for being FREE. For being careless of what other people will think of her. Not thinking if the society, culture, religion or other groups will judge her for being proper or not. She freely expresses herself through her songs, hairstyles, costumes, make-ups, videos and some other things without giving boundaries a chance. She is completely honest with what she thinks and what she is as a person even expressing her dark side. And I think only few people can do that, even me I think can't express that much. Rules, government, church, society, environment, media, policies, right and wrong, proper and not proper, good and evil and a lot more exist in our everyday lives and they are already dictating what to do and what we can't do (So much for freewill huh!?). And most of us are afraid to be judged by someone or afraid that we may end up as losers. But not her, not Lady Gaga. And that is a tough thing to do. Well, I don't know her personally but from what I see, what I watched and read, this is one damn person and admire her for that. Some of her lyrics may not be appropriate for children, no doubt, but what the heck, let the parents guide them and let everyone enjoy what a good artist can share in our music industry.

Cheers to you, Lady Gaga <3 <3 <3

 This is my personal favorite video. Enjoy!

Note: For us Filipinos, "GAGA" means Crazy. She is one of a kind crazy girl and loving it! :)
