Lady Gaga at the TD Banknorth Garden - and Christian rebuttal

Oh Lady Gaga, after seeing you play at the Garden last Friday, I want a Bad Romance with you!  

Talk about a crazy show, by the end Gaga had:
1 - Played piano upside down while laying on the piano hood
2 - Wore a dress that moved on its own while she stood still
3 - Danced with trannies
4 - Gave away $20,000 to a local homeless LGBT charity, courtesy of her sponsor, Virgin Mobile
5 - Wore a bustier that shot sparks out of her nipples and vagina
6  - Battled a 25 foot monster, and won.

It would be hard for me to think of something more I could have wanted from this Gaga-extravaganza.  I certainly wasn't bored!  

Today fluttering through the web though found a bizarre analysis of the brilliant video for Bad Romance, filled with heavy handed analysis it seems to miss the idea of the song being possibly about hungering for a romance that is bad for you but oh so good.  Were they never young?

Lady Gaga vs. Madonna Video Showdown

I love me some kittens with a whip, so how much did I enjoy this short film by Lady Gaga to accompany her single "Telephone"?



Gaga and Beyonce wearing fabulous clothes. Gaga and Beyonce a dyke couple out to destroy. Please, take me with you Gaga and Beyonce! And while you're at it, Gaga, can I borrow your effin' gigantic hat?

Watching "Telephone" however, does bring to mind the Guy Ritchie directed Madonna video for "What It Feels Like For A Girl", a clip it seems unlikely to imagine Gaga never viewed before conceiving of her own tribute to violence in women, which was banned from MTV when it came out in 2001 for its violent nature.




Contemplating the pair side by side is a good bit of fun. Where "Telephone" is sexy, wild, and over the top, "What It Feels Like..." is far more calculated and downright scary. Lady Gaga may kill a bunch of people in a restaurant, but when Madonna starts victimizing the men that regularly victimize women (with her Granny in tow) she brings us to a place far more edgy and uncomfortable than Gaga is able to reach - and she does it with her pants on.

Regardless of which you like better though, both are awfully enjoyable. You know, if you would like to be a sexy lady outlaw.
