I must say it is just ordinary pop product which will be forgotten in future.

One night when I couldn't sleep, I caught about twenty minutes of "The Monster Ball" tour at about 4 in the morning. As someone else stated earlier in this thread, I'm of the opinion that she was most likely hand picked to be a sort of Madonna replacement. Without the costumes, controversy, the skin show, & the occasional "fuck" or ""show your dick" comments, she's got a middle of the road, forgettable voice, with middle of the road lyrics & music.

I'm not a pop music fan, but it seems a shame that there are, I'm sure, many other singers out there with better voices & musical talent who will never come close to touching her level of popularity simply because they refuse to go on stage half naked & act like a hooker. I guess pop music has always been partly about showmanship, but in the past several years it seems to be mostly about showmanship & image, and less about true talent. All it takes is someone willing to show her tits, and some vocal enhancement software, and bang, you got yourself a pop star.

Too bad they didn't get someone a bit better looking though...I've seen people say she's hot, & I guess I must be missing something. To me she looks like a mid-grade prostitute with enough cash to buy some weird outfits.

I guess pop music has always been partly about showmanship, but in the past several years it seems to be mostly about showmanship & image, and less about true talent.

To be fair, all music has always tended to have a visual entertainment value, and the style varies from genre to genre. From the instruments to the threads, and shoes to the hairstyle.

Yes, I agree...it just seems to me that today those things seem like they are more important than the music itself, at least where pop is concerned... But like I said, I've never really been a fan of pop music, so maybe it has always been that way & I just didn't notice.

Lady Gaga 'earns $30 million a year from Twitter'

Marketing experts reckon 'Born This Way' star makes a third of her cash through social media site


Lady Gaga earns $30 million (£18.9 million) through her Twitter account, according to reports.

The Wall Street Journal claims that the 'Born This Way' star has built up such a strong relationship with her followers on the social media site that it is worth one third of the reported $90 million (£56.9 million) that she made last year.

Marketing manager John Bonini, who works for Impact Branding & Design, claimed that the publicity and direct connection the singer has developed with her admirers through the site helps boost her earning potential, as well as ensuring that her fanbase purchase her music rather than download it illegally. He added:

She really engages them and re-tweets stuff they say as if she was one of them.

Gaga's popularity on Twitter is unparalleled – earlier this month (March 6), she became the first person to gain 20 million followers on the site, putting her ahead of Justin Bieber (18.1 million), Katy Perry (15.75 million), Shakira (14.56 million) and Rihanna (14.49 million). US President Barack Obama, meanwhile, is only in eighth place, with 12.84 million followers.

Previously, Gaga also became the first person to amass 10 million followers in May last year, and 18 million in January of this year.

Last month (February 24), Lady Gaga used her Twitter account to respond after her 'Born This Way' LP was dubbed the "most pretentious album ever" by NME. She wrote: "Oh the irony of winning "Most Pretentious Album Ever" from none other than NME. *eyeroll* I might laugh forever + then return to narcissism."

It seems unlikely that Gaga will react so publicly to negative publicity in the future, though – earlier this week, she revealed that she is planning a media blackout once her interview with Oprah Winfrey is broadcast this week (March 18), as she claims she has nothing else to say to the press.

I case anyone wonders why this was my final post on FST it's because I'm killing myself.

Like you expected any other behavior from the twits.
