2.28.11 Adam News & Info

Re BTW video, let's just say I prefer better visuals with my LG songs

"And women have been touching themselves since Madonna too. Gaga isn't revolutionizing anything by doing this." Yes - I believe women were doing it even before! (Oh - on music videos!)

Well, I feel like Gaga totally acknowledges her debt to Madonna (similarly to how Adam does his to Boy George although I think some fans don't like that). Madonna said "Express Yourself" and in "Born That Way" Gaga does. But I still see Madonna as never letting herself appear TOO awkward, and there's no reason why she should, but what I find different and interesting about Lady Gaga is that she doesn't seem to limit hereself by worrying about whether or not others will think she's always and ever "pretty pretty" - especially when she's also being about sex. Madonna, Rhiana, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Xtina, and even Pink (who am I forgetting?) - I love all these pop princesses, but none of them go as "wild and weird" as Gaga does. That is her "thing" - she's a freaky freak, a "monster." No one else does that AND she does it with such loving attention to the details. (And, I don't think she's 100% about the money because if she is, she would stop working long enough to enjoy it! She never does that, which I'm not saying is a good thing, but - to me - makes me more convinced she IS very committed to what she's creating.)

I would guess that people who don't like ladies touching themselves on stage/video probably don't love when Adam does it. Not everyone does. I do. But obviously, that's only something he does sometimes. But, when he does, he gets pretty into it!

(I think some of Adam's fans are "a tough crowd" - and I mean that in a good way, as in discerning - because many of them aren't big into pop culture drivel, like I am - they're fans of really, really good music and voices - of which, there probably isn't really a LOT of in pop music. So, they might think: "Good lord, listen to this dreck out there! Adam is so much betterer." And I agree. But I like a lot of the other stuff, too.)

To me, Lady Gaga is more of a visual entertainer than a vocal one. I sort of see her songs as secondary to her stage and video presentations of them.

Would one say Adam is sometimes explicit on stage? Is Gaga? I'd say both are sometimes, in different ways, but Gaga definitely wears a lot less clothing a lot of the time.

ETA: For the record, I do like straightforward, story mv's, too. I thought Crystal Bowersox' mv was well-done and moving.

Yes, my first thought was ADAM THE DIPLOMAT. Now, maybe he did like the entire thing, but he wasn't gushing the way he does over something by which he's really blown away.

Just like that :D. And it's bed time to me now, so Good Night!
Tutka should be online quite early tomorrow morning, curious to see if there is something else than the Emmas and Oscars...
