Gaga at the Grammys

Perhaps people are making just too much a fuss over Lady Gaga these days. It seems everyone wants to take her fashion ability or disability, however one chooses to see it, and compare it to artists of the past...namely Madonna. I think it's safe to say that some of the looks Lady Gaga (Stefani Germanotta) has given her public can be seen as rehashed, but truth be known, Gaga has a plan. She's become quite the little expert on what it takes to stay on top.

Like her or hate her, she's got your attention. And not in a bad way like those Jersey Shore characters. During her special 60-Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper, she admits to toking it up while she writes her music and taking swigs at good bottle of whiskey. But come on, every artist has their way of being creative. But I'd rather not spend an entire blog devoted to Miss Meat Dress herself. Oh who am I kidding?

She even entered the awards show in a contraption which we were told was an egg, outdoing even herself at past awards shows. It's funny how the show is over, yet people will still be talking about this stunt. As crazy as I thought it was, I'm still talking about it! Although I didn't watch the entire show tonight, I knew that shortly after her performance, every social network would be blowing up with comments on her stage presence and that darned egg!

@NYDNgossip tweeted "I'm starting to understand Lady Gaga...First she wore ham, now she's an egg. Next year if she's toast, she'll be deciphered: breakfast.

@Kellyoxford tweeted "Madonna did it 30 years ago guys." That sounds like a little bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.

@patricklangolis tweeted "and by Whitney Houston I mean Madonna." referring to Gaga's shout out to Whitney as she accepted an award.

Gimmick or not, Gaga is standing her ground letting all the world know that she's here for the long run. Although I'm not her biggest fan, I have to say that she got my attention with her first commercial single, Just Dance. Her latest efforts, I strongly believe to be over-the-top, but it's got a lot of people wondering what's next for Lady Gaga. Looks like we may have to stay tuned for that answer.
