10 Reasons to Respect Lady Gaga - What chall know bout Lady Gaga. Ignant asshats...

After watching this video of a 19 year old Lady Gaga, then known only as Stefani Germanotta a 19 year old college student, I needed to know how the hell such a horrible transformation could have happened.

At first, I was outraged. The signature bizarre wardrobe and the over-the-top performances were both just symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. This girl was clearly a victim of a brutal rape perpetrated by American Pop-Culture. Then I changed my mind. I decided that Stefani was obviously a gasping last breath of the record industry’s current dying era, which should be suffocated out of compassion. Either way I KNEW Lady Gaga was not a good thing.

I now realize I was a moron.

Thanks to one Google search, I was let in on the joke (as well as the reasons to respect young Germanotta.)

Lady Gaga is an Ironic representation of all of the things that I was outraged by.  Inspired by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury’s style as well as the flare for performance shared by Madonna and Michael Jackson, Gaga is and always has aimed to be the anti-hero of the music industry.

Here are those reasons to respect her by the way:

1. Gaga’s avant garde antics are inspired by the one and only Andy Warhol.
2. She’s a good singer/songwriter (check the above video if you haven’t)
3. Performance, Music, Dance, Fashion…Gaga expresses herself in layers as opposed to other modern acts who suck.
4. She knows mad philosophy and shit.
5. She’s got ink. 9 tattoos in all.
6. Paparazzi is catchy as shit, STFU.
7. She References everything from Queen to Def Leppard in her music.
8. Mad L.A. Reid cred…
9. She got into Julliard at age 11.
10. This Rolling Stone cover.

As Carlo says… Prove me wrong.
