and this is not her church.

follow me until you love me | call my name

I want your love, and all your lovers' recommendations

Only gods are worshipped unconditionally. People have to earn their love.

And Lady Gaga is only human - without question both deservedly famous and polarising, talented and fallible.

She attracts more fawning fanboyism than any artist with only two albums deserves, and just as much uninformed criticism from those who underestimate her.

So welcome to the middle - where we want the best from her... but good or bad, we'll take everything for what it is.


I'm 20, straight and Australian; part-time metalhead/pop fan, full-time music obsessive. I'm writing about every Madonna single here: The comparisons aren't entirely valid, but no one is more important than Madonna in understanding what Lady Gaga could be.

You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, my personal Tumblr and Last.fm, or harass me via email at richaod AT gmail DOT com.


the-dark-night-of-the-soul asked: Except Lady Gaga constantly talks about her sex life, and about sex and love without ever being sexy or romantic and I don't think that's a conscious decission, I think she's as deluded, or even more, as the people who believe she is the second comming of christ or the savior of pop music. And I don't think you have to be a fan to have a valid judgement on gaga or any other artist, quite the contrary, as long as you are informed you can make a valid assesment, and I follow everything that goes on in pop culture(thanks ONTD) and I've been exposed to everything that she does/says so I know what this cheap, grotesque, convoluted and fake skank is all about.

Everything she says or does, huh? Like the most romantic (and arguably best) song she’s ever written?

In conclusion: 2011 is the year. Plenty of us are intelligent enough to think for ourselves. I’ve said more than enough. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
