cybervoodoo: In the most bizarre of ways, I find this...

In the most bizarre of ways, I find this beautiful.

I also find it creepy. I know that most of us would’ve all jumped at the chance to touch Gaga’s hand like that, but when you think about it. Why? I think her being locked in the perfume bottle represents Gaga being the fame, but her being watched by thousands both at the venue and online also represents the way we watch and pry on celebrities every moves, even in their most vunerable moments, examplified by the sleeping Gaga. As a society, we spent hours upon hours reading and watching and talking about the private lives of the rich and famous. What are they like when they’re not infront of the camera? What are they like at home?

Gaga has long been talking about being ‘private in public’ and I believe that this is only proof to her previous talk of being ‘a show with no intermission’. That Gaga herself lives as a continuous perfomance to which, we, the public can look upon and watch as the spectacle unfolds. Perhaps the performance is something of a microcosm to how we look to celebrities in the real world. Like animals in a zoo, we expect to be able to pet them and be entertained. Many have said parts of this performance were ‘boring’ and think links to the idea that we expect something of a performance, of entertainment from celebrities and have certain ideals in our heads what they must live up to.

The notion of those at the event being able to touch and pet Gaga’s hands as she sleep also shows how the public so desperatly wants to be involved with the celebrity that they would invade such a personal moment. The touching of the hands could also symbolise how we view the famous as somehow ‘above’ us, and just the small quick touch of the hand is worth a lifetime. This coincides with Gaga’s reacent mentions of how she is not a queen to her fans, but an equal, yet so many view her as a ‘higher power’.

This raises the questions of why were we watching this video? Why did we watch over two hours of Gaga doing every day things? Why didn’t we switch it off? What does it all mean? Why did she do this? Gaga’s work is always marvellous and always though provoking, it’s her performance that sets her apart from the rest. Her intelligent and thought provoking artistry keeps us all on the edge of out seats, even if it is watching her pee into a bucket.

God damnit…I really hope that the new album has a similar feel to this. The pop music, ok, she’s great at it & it’s the only pop music that I really listen to that I find intelligent but THIS is what she should start doing from now on, or at least more of this. When she sits in front of a piano & just sings poetry like this I’m reminded why it is that I respect/love her so much. I just want so much more of this from her because she is absolutely excellent at it. God damn.

Princess Die (Live) | Lady Gaga

Leave the coffin open when I go and leave my pearls and lipstick on so everybody knows. Pretty will be the photograph I leave, laying down on famous knives so everybody sees.

Bleach out all the dark, I’ll swallow each peroxide shot. Someone, I know, could love and save me from myself. or maybe I’ll just clean the shit off of these fancy shoes. I’ll be your Princess Di and die with you.

I wish that I was strong, I wish that I was wrong. I wish that I could cope, but I took pills and left a note.

I’m hungry from an anorexic heart. I’ve been trying to tell you how I feel but was never very smart. I’m wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens. I’ll do it in the swimming pool so everybody sees.

Bleach out all the dark, I’ll swallow each peroxide shot. Volumes, I know, will love and save me from myself. Or maybe I’ll just clean the shit off of these fancy shoes, I’ll be your Princess Di and die with you.

Princess Di, I wanna see her cry, Princess Di. Princess Di, we wanna watch her cry, Princess Di.

I wish that I was strong, I wish that I was wrong. I wish that I could cope, but I took pills and left a note.

And I wish that I would go in my rich boyfriend’s limo, right after he proposed, with a sixteen carat stone wrapped in rose gold. With the paparazzi all swarming ‘round, in my Louis Vuitton button-down, oh, it’s not that deep.

So bob your head for another dead blonde, whose real prince is in Heaven; she just wants to sleep.

The final act of life will be in my own hands to do, I’ll be your Princess Di and die with you.

loving-luminosity:

Whenever I hear anything or see anything about how Madonna is stealing Gaga’s thunder or Gaga is copying off of Madonna it makes everything I feel about music feel cheap.

Now I have to say i’m not a die hard Madonna fan but I respect her and her work as for other little monsters who say they are…

fuckyeahladygaga:

say hi to my new tattoo!
it took about 15 minutes thanks to zane at human productions.
it says born this way, yes, like lady gagas song.
no, it’s not a fan tattoo. (although, i do love her very, very much.)
‘born this way’ means a lot to me. I have some strong morals that I live by.
no drugs, no drinking, no sex before marriage, etc.
these are my choices, and if you don’t like it, too bad.
I was born this way.

ladyxgaga:

Lady Gaga is sitting down, which is probably a good thing, considering she’s wearing 6-inch heels and has spent roughly seven hours drinking whiskey with dudes who look like they were roadies for Bang Tango.

Drinking wasn’t the only thing she did, of course. She also danced, vamped, sang, bled and underwent more costume changes than Evander Berry Wall — all over the span of one very long day on one very big soundstage in New York City. I’m not allowed to write about exactly what she was shooting (at least not yet), but suffice it to say, Gaga certainly deserved a few minutes of rest. Especially since she had spent the first part of the day filming a wearing an outfit that could only be described as “houndstooth overdrive.”

And yet, throughout the day, as the top-secret shoot went on and on, I never heard her complain — not even close. At one point, during a performance setup, when the director asked if she’d be willing to film another take, she joked, “My voice can only last for another hour and a half … the rest of me can go all night.”

Everyone laughed, and not just because it was a funny line. There was an air of astonishment mixed in too. Simply put, no one seemed to believe that a star of this caliber would be this willing to work. And then work some more.

While it was certainly amazing to watch Gaga come to life when the camera was rolling, her work ethic isn’t exactly breaking news. In a way, it was even more fascinating to observe her in the moments when it wasn’t. Last year, I followed her every step at the Video Music Awards and discovered that, beneath the 35 pounds of Argentinean beef, she was actually a pretty normal person. That was only amplified Monday, on this soundstage in New York, in the rare moments she wasn’t wowing everyone in attendance. Surrounded by her closest friends — all of whom were extras in the shoot, and some of whom came dressed in their Steel Panther finery — she was decidedly down-to-earth. Shockingly average, even.

She cracked jokes, held hands, poured drinks. She danced and cooed with her old friend Lady Starlight while “Heavy Metal Lover,” a standout track on her Born This Way album, blared overhead. She whooped for joy whenever someone she hadn’t seen in a while (and given her schedule, that was pretty much everybody) appeared on set. In fact, she seemed very much like every 25-year-old you’d meet, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Getting to be a fly on the wall is certainly one of the perks of this job; it allows you to see the mega-famous at their least guarded — for better or (as is sometimes the case) much worse. But it’s the few instances I’ve been able to hover around Gaga’s inner circle that remain the most revelatory, mostly because, as I wrote last year, her public persona is somewhere along the lines of “a pneumatic lion tamer with a penchant for creative haberdashery, or a fire-breathing neo-Shiva in sunglasses.” To see her unwind with her pals, well, let’s just say it’s the kind of thing you don’t forget, mostly because it’s the most normal thing imaginable. Which, given pretty much everything you think you know about her, is downright unimaginable.

So while I can’t tell you what I watched being filmed, I can tell you that Lady Gaga enjoys Jameson and has excellent comedic timing. And that told me more about her than any of her videos ever could. To a certain extent, we all think we know who Gaga is, even if that’s not really the case. At ease, with a glass of strong booze, enveloped by her confidants — that’s the girl few of us get to meet, which is a shame. She seems like a really fun person to hang out with.
