Lady Gaga

My first blog, and I'm going to take on that gaga person! The hits she wrote so far are pretty good! Except "Poker Face", that one gets old. But enough people talk about the good things of her act, I want to talk about the negatives. My biggest problem with her is that she doesn't have an off switch. Her persona is great at her performances, great in her music videos, and great through her songs. However, when she is with fans, being interviewed, or even just doing casual things like going to a baseball game or going to her sister's high school graduation (look at the bottom for links) she doesn't have an off switch. How effective would the "Joker" be as a character in Batman if it wasn't for his jokes? How effective would Tony Montana be as a character in Scarface if it wasn't for his sympathy towards women and children? Every character has contrast to keep them from being boring. Right now, Lady Gaga is Stefani Germanotta's character, and while right now she is hugely successful, how long can it last? When is she going to give the public the real her and not an act? We get that she can be crazy, we get that she is a "Fame Monster", but when do we see Ms. Germanotta and not her alter ego?
