1. It is amazing what an airbrush can do..

[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. Her "charms" are lost on me

I didn't care for the "relentless self-promotion" thing when Madonna did it, and I care for it even less with this woman. Her recent Rolling Stone interview left me with the feeling that she's making a fortune by exploiting her own instability, which is "her life, her business."

Off topic...why did you post a photo of Vince Neil?



:rofl:

[ElmStreetPlaza]

5. ROFL

I keep thinking that she looks like Marylin Manson.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twins separated at birth!!!

[rocktivity]

20. That's why when I'm not calling her "Lady Gag-Up"

I call her "Madonna's Granddaughter!"

:rofl:

2. With the right stylist, photographer, lighting --

make-up/hair, and post work most of us could look amazing. Really, no joke. I did film/video print make-up for a living for years and I was always amazed at just what could be accomplished with the right team.

On edit: Jamie Lee Curtis did a great spread fpor a women's magazine with before and after shots, to show women the amount of work that goes on to create the illusion we see on film. Bless her for this:





And yes, that shot of Gaga looks fantastic. Kudos to her team.

4. I hear you on the before and after. Photoshop can work wonders. Just check these out:

Before:



After:



It's UNCANNY!

7. I remember when Jamie Lee Curtis did that. She is an amazing woman.

[MajorChode]

8. I think she looked good in both shots

She's a very attractive lady, inside and out. Gaga, not so much.

[Green_Lantern]

14. yikes...

Jamie Lee Curtis looks like an ugly guy in drag.

[MajorChode]

15. I think you've been smoking too much Prince Albert in the left handed can

This is Jamie Lee Curtis:


This is an ugly guy in drag:


I don't see the similarities. YMMV.

[Green_Lantern]

16. Anyone looks good next to Benita Mussollini

nt

[MajorChode]

17. Admittedly, I'm no expert on ugly guys in drag

However, this just seems like a better fit:

[Green_Lantern]

18. without all of that crap on she isn't unattractive..

I really don't understand the criticisms against Lady Gaga for wearing costumes while performing.

[MajorChode]

23. Debatable and mostly subjective, but one thing is for sure

She is no beauty queen on the inside. It will be interesting to see what she looks like in her 50's. I can't see it being anything on par with Curtis, but you'll probably have to tune in late night on an infomercial to find out.

I could care less about her flamboyancy. Some people like that sort of thing and that's fine with me. I just don't see her 'talent' living up to the hype. Before long, she'll be just so much yesterday's news like Aguilera, unless she turns into another Spears or Lohan and then people will just be tuning in to see her slow motion self destruction in progress.

[Green_Lantern]

26. you're comparing apples to oranges...

First of all...you can't possibly know what she's like personality wise.

Lady Gaga isn't even in the same vicinity of what Britney Spears or other female pope vocalists do.

Lady Gaga writes her own music and songs as well as plays the keyboard and synthesizes her music.

I'm not even that big of a pop fan but I really don't mind her music.

I like Tool, Nine inch nails, and Marilyn Manson and I think she'd fit in more there than with Britney Spears.

[blue_onyx]

27. I disagree

She does write her music but she's just a pop star, like Britney. I actually think Britney is a better pop star, which is why she is still going strong after 11 years. Lady Gaga seems gimmicky to me. When I see her videos or performances, I feel like she trying to impersonate Madonna. Britney is just Britney.

The music Britney performs is pretty much the same as the music Lady Gaga performs. In fact, Britney recorded a few of Gaga's songs for her last CD.

[Green_Lantern]

28. Music categories are pretty subjective...

Nirvana has been on the pop charts...

I don't even pay much attention to what's popular or not.

I think Lady GaGa is more influenced by Elton John and Freddie Mercury.

[blue_onyx]

31. I'm sure she's been influenced by many people

The Madonna influence is the one that's most apparent to me, both musically and visually. So much so that it sometimes feels like she's impersonating her.

I do enjoy Lady Gaga a lot though. She's one of my favorites (along with Britney and Madonna). I just think she overrated.

[mitchum]

33. My 68 year mother dismisses Lady Gaga as "a bad Madonna ripoff"

Mom is right

[mitchum]

34. delete: crazy double post

[MajorChode]

30. I can know as much as I need to know to draw that conclusion

If she's anything like what she portrays herself in public, she is not pretty on the inside. If she really is something different, then she's nothing more than a phony and still not pretty on the inside.

Her vocals are over produced. That's why she compares to Britney Spears, but whatever she compares to or doesn't, I just don't see her lasting very long. That's just my $0.02 worth which is probably not worth even that.

[Green_Lantern]

36. I always wonder how many music acts now...

Will we look back on in 40 years and call classic. I don't see anyone being the next Beatles or Elvis.

[TK421]

19. The bedroom scene from True Lies still does it for me

:D and she has a ton of class to boot

[maxsolomon]

10. Let GaGa be GaGa

you can always ignore her - i do.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. In a way she's been a welcome relief from Amy Winehouse.

I wonder who'll be the next flavor of the month.

[MajorChode]

13. That's a silver lining fur sure

I figure by this time next year or the year after, she'll be an infomercial star.

[Green_Lantern]

29. or selling yogurt that makes women shit better..

Like Jamie Lee Curtis.

[MajorChode]

35. Exactly. More years on the A-list than Gaga has been on this earth

I can certainly see why you'd think she is a flash in the pan.

[Green_Lantern]

37. Flash in the pan? no...I said she looks like a guy...

I didn't criticize her acting.

[UTUSN]

12. And in Arizona. But that's the index. n/t

[Deep13]

24. I suspect she looks hot at the South Pole. nt

[Lucian]

25. "Hot" is subjective.

[sakabatou]

32. The pic is missing

Wait... saw the pic on google. She is pretty hot.
