Driving through the Southeast this holidays, I heard “Love Lockdown” a lot. I mean, more than any other song on the radio, by far.

@Nunya B: You seem genuinely angered by Lady GaGa in ways that I am angered by Nickelback, Hinder, and a lot of other stupid man-rock.

@CraigP: Lady GaGa is really, really ugly; the sunglasses are to protect us, not her.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: Yes.

I’m a big Roisin Murphy fan so I’m getting upset at all the attention Lady GaGa’s getting, given that Ms. Murphy hasn’t hit it big in the States yet. And I think it’s a dumb idea to constantly wear sunglasses so people can’t see your eyes. They’re the windows to your soul, right?

@Nunya B: "Twunt" = worthy of a MacArthur.

I heard “Just Dance” repeatedly on the radio before I knew who did it, and it is one of my favourite 5 songs in rotation on the local attempt at a top 40 station. Also, as an avid dancer with a bit of a drinky habit, it really speaks to me. It’s not great, but I feel it justifies my loser lifestyle.

@Rock You Like An Iracane: In GaGa's case the music speaks for itself: that is, it is horrible and needs no larger than life persona to further ruin it. The fact that Lady GaGa is an insufferable, arrogant twunt who would ruin pop if given the chance is a reason to hate HER, not the music.

@Nunya B: I'm trying very, very hard to ignore all the public persona crap and focus on the music, because, honestly, all the other stuff will ruin the music for you if you let it. (I'm looking at you, Wrigley/Chris Brown/"Forever.")

@Chris Molanphy: Yep, that's it- straight out of "Deep House Dish." I heard "Just Dance" for the first time last weekend, and I was not impressed; I was expecting something cooler, given all of the hype. Much as I loathe Katy Perry, I'm fond of the instrumental portions of "I Kissed a Girl."

Rich at fourfour had a little breakdown of all of the places that GaGa is copping her style from.

I couldn't agree more, re: Lady GaGa. I wouldn't hate her half as much as I do if she wasn't playing up the "I'm an edgy artist posing as a pop star" crapola.

Oh, and I love "Let it Rock."
