I'd love the BTW album cover so much more if she'd just change the font on the top slightly. Or completely. Either way.

I don't know why everyone gets up in arms about her songwriting, the point is to sell albums and concert tickets and merch to gay men and teenage girls, not create modern high art. Don't criticize it for not being something it isn't intended to be.

Crows Turn Off posted:If she hates how the homosexual population propagates poo poo music, why did she even get a Gaga tattoo in the first place?! I mean, Lady Gaga has been pretty open about her homosexual support from the start. Her first gigs were in small gay clubs. Her carrier was created in part to the positive reception the gay community gave her. And she has the audacity to support those queers! Traitor!

I just wish she would stop being so religious (or anti religion if you will) not because I care, but because it's creating a large divide between her fans and it's hard to enter a forum now without people claiming she's the Antichrist or the devil. It's just annoying and pointless, even if her message has good criticism of the catholic church, she's only going to preach to the choir or piss off a bunch of people. I just wanna hear fun super gay pop music

The person in question is aware that Gaga has tons of support from the "queers", her best friend is gay (and a huge Gaga fan). I think the point she was making is that the homosexual community will propagate her music regardless of the quality because she's such a huge figure within the community.

Which would be completely false anyways, the first people to compare Gaga to Madonna when Born this Way came out were the gays. "Oh hellllll no, no she didn't, this is express yourself!"

Sup Atlanta Monster Ball buddy  It was completely awesome and I was right on the left side of the catwalk near the stage, so it was a great view. The disco bra was indeed a big hit in line too.  The only mildly disappointing thing was that Semi Precious Weapons was back as the opener instead of Scissor Sisters. But what a goddamned show.

Weird Al made a spoof on Born this Way called "Perform this Way" but Gaga didn't like it so he's not going to release it on his album. Here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUxXKfQkswE&sns=fb Here is a blog about it: http://alyankovic.wordpress.com/the-gaga-saga/ Excerpts: Weird Al posted:... Who's not down with the Weird Al? He was even going to donate the proceeds!

edit: BEATEN! "Weird Al" Yankovic has released a parody of "Born This Way." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUxXKfQkswE It won't be on his next album though. Here's the full story. In short, Al pitched the song to Gaga, and due to the nature of "Born This Way," he also decided he would donate all proceeds made from his parody to the Human Rights Campaign. Gaga said she wanted to hear it before deciding whether to give permission or not. He wrote the lyrics, and sent those to her, but she still said no, she wanted to hear it first. So Al went into the studio, and wasted his time recording it before finally getting the answer of "No." Al complied, saying he wouldn't release the song on his album, but has put it on YouTube since parody is protected under Fair Use. What a shame, especially given the fact that Al was going to donate all the proceeds to the HRC. My question is, since Lady Gaga isn't really one to give a gently caress about what people say about her, why would she care about a Weird Al parody?

I thought it was a lovely parody and I think he's a whiny rear end in a top hat for posting such a huge thing about it. And this is coming from a long, long time Weird Al fan. On the other hand, it is weird and a shame that she didn't let him do it, especially with the promise to donate the proceeds to the HRC. Oh well.

Yeah, why would she say no? The single is guaranteed to sell a significant amount, which means a lot of money going to charity. And why insist on making him write, record, and mix the whole song before saying no?

Apparently this is not the case.TMZ posted:Lady Gaga is adamant ... she did NOT ban Weird Al Yankovic from parodying her hit song "Born This Way" -- despite Al's accusation that the pop star shut him down hard recently. So what's going on? Did Gaga's manager just never tell her about it and try to quietly shove the Weird Al parody under the rug? This is all too confusing... Edit: And the saga continues in this interview with Weird Al... quote:Q. So what's going on? Is Lady Gaga lying to cover up all the bad publicity she's getting from this? Or was her manager blatantly keeping the parody a secret from Gaga and lying to Al the whole time? This is messed up... weirdojace fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Apr 20, 2011 |

I bet they could make a pertty good video for that song considering Weird Al's budget is more than the hundreds of youtube parodies that are made these days.

If they wanted to, they could release the song as a single and make the video because it falls under the parody provisions of fair use. However, it's Weird Al's personal policy that he never releases a parody unless the songwriter and/or musician are OK with it. As he himself put it:"Weird Al" Yankovic posted:My parodies have always fallen under what the courts call “fair use,” and this one was no different, legally allowing me to record and release it without permission. But it has always been my personal policy to get the consent of the original artist before including my parodies on any album, so of course I will respect Gaga’s wishes. However, given the circumstances, I have no problem with allowing people to hear it online, because I also have a personal policy not to completely waste my stinking time.

wa27 posted:I don't know about that. His last album was his highest-charting ever, with a single that went platinum. This. People do still care about him and he continues to do extremely well with each album he releases. To say nobody gives a poo poo about him is just wrong, whether you like his music or not. But now that Gaga is out saying she didn't reject it, I'm wondering what's gonna happen with this thing. My guess is her manager never showed it to her and was lying to Weird Al the entire time.

That's an awful parody and Weird Al should be ashamed of it. The whole thing basically attacks her, instead of making light fun of a song like 'Eat it.' BTW love Judas and don't hate the art work.
