Lady Gaga

So, I just finished talking about one music icon, now I am going to talk about another, Lady Gaga, or the so called Madonna of the 21st century. Do I agree with that statement? I think so. She was the first person to ever get a combined 1 billion online music videos, which is pretty ridiculous, which also happens to be the word that perfectly describes her videos. Utterly ridiculous, but maybe in this day and age we would call that original. Am I old fashioned?

Anyway, she has some pretty good songs, and she enjoys wearing outrageous cloths, which isn't necessarily new to the industry, but she has definitely taken it to the next level. To talk about her impacts on the world, maybe she hasn't HELPED too many people, but perhaps she has begun to have the same effect that Madonna did at the same time in her career. Looking at her career, her first album came out in 2008. That was...2 years ago. That, to me, is honestly ridiculous. That someone can go from absolutely unknown, to her status in 2 years is insane. Of course the internet is the catalyst for that, but still. In my opinion, her songs find an often simple theme (well I guess like most songs) and connects them with the audience in a very smooth manner. I feel like we will be hearing her name for a very long time.
