lady gaga.

I know some of you probably like Lady Gaga, but I personally don't at all. As much as I want to be indifferent toward her, whenever I hear one of my friends playing her music, I have to fight the urge to smash whatever device it is that is allowing her voice to come blaring through the speakers.
Okay so I'll admit, the girl can perform. She has stage presence, that is undeniable. And she's obviously pretty good with the whole making herself famous thing. But I just can't help but feel like everything she does is so outrageous and purposefully over the top just to make more money and/or get more attention. Everything from her outfits, to her performances (like the one at the VMAs), to the things she says, even to her gender/sexuality...It all just seems so ridiculous to me. And the public buys into it so easily. Her stuff might be catchy but what does she sing about? Oh, you know, fame, money, sex. The usual. Nothing of any meaning or value.
Also, what's with the autotuned voice? I've heard her sing some ballads and her voice isn't terrible. Why not just sing like that all the time? Put some emotion into it!
I guess it's just the fact that it's all so generic to me and I don't find it relateable at all. And maybe that's why some people love it. They want to imagine their lives are full of fame, money or sex. But really, I just get sad that it seems American society seems to value these things and the artists that sing about them over other, probably more talented, singers and bands. It's not that I don't respect her for doing her thing and being an artist and it's cool if you like her, it's just not my cup of tea.
