Ode to Gaga

Lady Gaga is a goddess. There are no other words to describe how she has come to rule and define the music industry in such a short time. It seems only seconds ago that we could sing along with "Just Dance", or that "Pokerface" was omnipresent on the radio. Even though she has only released one album, you can already predict that she will become the Madonna of the early twenty-first century.

I've always loved Just Dance because of the tragedy that lies within. The girl in question has lost her keys, lost her phone, practically everything, but she can still find the time to appreciate the song and let herself go on the dancefloor. As long as she has music running through her veins, she will be alright and nothing can hurt her.

I've just watched Gaga's new video "Telephone" featuring Beyonce. Its full version is 9 minutes and you can find it here. In the clip she has paid a lot of tribute to Quentin Tarantino in ways such as the Pussy Wagon, the scene at the diner and the overall storyline. It is meant to be a continuation for the Paparazzi video and ends with the prospect of yet another sequel, which I'm quite looking forward to.

The song itself is about Gaga's fear of suffocation, lyric wise she would rather stay on the dancefloor than answer the - obsessive - phone calls of her boyfriend. To the screen this is translated by Lady Gaga and Beyonce going on a killing spree, hitting a local diner to kill the boyfriend of Beyonce *Honeybee* and everyone else there as well. Be sure to watch the entire videoclip and make sure you get all of Gaga's little tics and her attention for detail.

Clearly Gaga was never meant to be a pop princess or a one-hit-wonder, that much is clear. Still you can't help but wonder where her crazy fantasies and sexual preferences will take her. In a way, everything has been done before and scandal has already been outdated. What more could she have to show us that we haven't already seen?

But never fear, because I have a feeling Gaga has a few more tricks up her sleave - those rare few times she actually wears something with sleaves - and she's not willing to let go of her little 'Monsters' just yet. So stay tuned for more sinfully delicious Gaga-ism.
