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.


Anonymous asked: Oh okay. I think I summed it up a bit by the name.
Are you saying how Lady gaga is basically worshiped by her fans, and how it's against/not the same/has something to do with Jesus or God in a way?

I’m not religious. Some of her fans practically do worship her - I fully expect a cult to start around her any day now - but a god, Lady Gaga is not. And in Gaga, as with every other human being, we shouldn’t be blinded to her faults (even if we do love her most of the time).
