It was a typical Thursday night on March 11th, me sitting on my bed watching T.V. around 9:00 PM, watching some Georgetown vs. Syracuse highlights because the game was earlier that day. Trying to stay awake, at 10:30 PM i switched over to E! News. Hey, it's Ryan Seacrest. Bored, I decided to listen to him because nothing else was on. He sound excited.. he was announcing a new music video. Of who? Then the screen switched to this lady with yellow hair, (not blonde, but yellow) and circular black glasses. Hmmm, I've heard of her. It was Lady Gaga. Now, I'm not a big fan.. at all.. of her, but the upcoming video popped up and I watched it.. all nine minutes.
Afterwards, I didn't know what to say about it. It was weird. Now I don't especially like the Brittany Spears-feel pop sound to her, but the video was outrageous. Telephone feat. Beyonce, the strangest clothes were worn and the plot was about killing people. Wasn't this a clubbing song? Still baffled, I can't find why she is one of the most popular artists in the world.
I looked the video up online two days later and it was viewed 14 million times? In two days? Now I really felt like an outsider. Considering my love for music, I dwelled deeper into why Lady Gaga is so popular. Her clothes have some sort of meaning to her, like art-pieces I'm assuming. It liberates her from being normal. I really don't understand this woman, so I will leave her and her music alone for now.
I actually asked friends of mine who liked her why they did. They went to her clothing write away, making her seem gutsy to wear what she wants. I am thinking she's a role model to some, showing she is not a conformist and she will do what she wants without fear of literally millions of eyes watching her. Even though I am not a fan, I can definately see why millions idolize her while leaving the others in confusion. But maybe there is a deeper reason of why people like her besides her clothes.
