Lady Gaga has a negative impact on not only the music Industry, but on the music community itself

Music and Lyrics Alone: If you're debating Lady Gaga, you can't separate the person from the music because she's the one who created it. Her own personality, views, stances and work all influence her image and so therefore have a very upstanding part in this debate. The fact that she spoke in the Equality March influenced people's views on her and therefore, her image. The same goes for her AIDS campaign. As of your statement of me "admitting her lyrics are shallow" I said that on a mere listening, it has a shallow meaning, if you look at the lyrics to Paparazzi and especially watch the music video, it has a very in depth meaning. She takes a simple song, and embeds imagery into it to create something more than other artists bother to. Just Dance lyrics: If you think that her lyrics are bad, why don't you open your eyes to the rest of pop or dance music? The majority of pop lyrics focus on drugs, money, sex, alcohol and crime so how does this make her any worse than other artists? Shall we take a look at Tik Tok by Ke$ha? This is a song that, along with Just Dance, did very well on the charts and sold extremely well. Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack 'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back Simply the first verse has a very similar meaning to Just Dance and I can also site your statistics for my argument. And what about other songs such as: Rude Boy - Rihanna Blah Blah Blah - Ke$ha Take It Off - Ke$ha Sexy Chick - David Guetta 3 - Britney Spears If You Seek Amy - Britney Spears Guilty Pleasure - Cobra Starship Fergaliscious - Fergie Sugar - Flo Rida Low - Flo Rida Kiss N Tell - Ke$ha Hungover - Ke$ha Boots & Boys - Ke$ha Maneater - Nelly Furtado She Wolf - Shakira Kiss Me Thru The Phone - Soulja Boy Promiscuous - Nelly Furtado Don't Trust Me - 3OH!3 Starstrukk - 3OH!3 For Your Entertainment - Adam Lambert 4 Minutes - Madonna 1 2 Step - Ciara Give It Up To Me - Shakira Good Girls Go Bad - Cobra Starship I Know You Want Me - Pitbull Killa - Cherish Labels Or Love - Fergie My Humps - Black Eyed Peas My Prerogative - Britney Spears Piece Of Me - Britney Spears Right Round - Flo Rida SexyBack - Justin Timberlake Stronger - Kanye West The Way I Are - Timbaland Whine Up - Kat Deluna Womanizer - Britney Spears Yeah! - Usher etc. etc. etc. The majority of pop music IS sex, so you can't single out Gaga for these lyrics without first digging up every single sex-related song that ever existed, writing out its lyrics, explaining why it's wrong and trashing the artist. Besides, sexual lyrics, or lyrics related to drugs, alcohol, crime, etc. have all been accepted into society. People listen to this. People enjoy this. If it's something that you don't want your child to hear, you get a censored version of the song or just don't let them hear it at all. Although, at the age of eight, I can't see that child understanding what "Control your poison babe" is referring to or even means. Regardless, it would provide for a good learning opportunity and a chance for the parent to explain why alcohol is wrong and why you need to have safe sex, why drugs are bad and so on. That is even if the kid understands... By the way... your lyrics for the song are very incorrect. There are a few mistakes in the first and second verses that you picked a few lines out of. The rap section is riddled with mistakes: When I come through on the dance floor checkin out that catalogue. Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw And I ain't gonna give it up, steady trying to pick it up like a call I'm a hit it up, beat it up, latch on to it until tomorrow yeah Shorty I can see that you got so much energy The way you twirlin' up them hips round and round And there is no reason at all why you can't leave here with me In the mean time stay let me watch you break it down and *Chorus* The last part is completely wrong and it's not a reference to herself, rather, her "blueprint", and so is not giving a message to be "psychotic". It says: Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's symphonic Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint it's symphonic Half psychotic sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic
