GaGa Off (And the Death of Artists)

Much the same as GaGa is to fine eating

Whilst perusing the news online and digging through a prawn salad, I stumbled across this gem: Lady Gaga, one of the greatest pop stars of our age. What the jolly knockers? Or in iterwebs terms, WTF? Are you serious? Granted these silly words were written by some star struck little filly on Yahoo Gossip but surely its time for her medication? I hate pop music and all of the shiteness that goes with it, but Lady GaGa is NOT among its greatest. Not even close. I don't care how many followers she has on Twitter, or idiotic outfits she wears.
Whenever I think of great pop/rock artists I think of Bowie, Elvis, Hendrix, The Stones, Don Maclean, Pink Floyd, The Who, Springsteen, Led Zep, Paul Simon, Elton John, Bob Dylan. And even though I didn't like them personally, The Beatles and Queen. Are you SERIOUSLY going to try and put Lady f**king GaGa in amongst that lot? An internet term again, ROFL!! Get outta town! Don't be such a plank dear. GaGa isn't worthy of licking the dust off any of these truly greats' heels. She is nothing more than an attention seeking clothes horse trying to be as outrageous as possible every time she slides from a limousine. Like the fat kid in school, vying for applause. She isn't even good looking! I cannot comment on her voice as ive never heard her sing (I only listen to heavy metal radio and thankfully she's never played on that) but if her songs/singing can be judged on her clothes (which quite frankly are not that outrageous. Meat bikini? Yawn, a child dream that one up?) then it must be dreadful.
But this is how it will be from now on I am sad to inform you. The world has had its genuine greats now you see, there will be no more. The likes of The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, and even (for metalheads reading) Lemmy, will never be seen again. From now into eternity, the world will have to suffer the untalented likes of Lady GaGa, Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus. Those Godlike (mostly) British acts that kicked off in the 1960s will, like the Dodo, never walk this green and pleasant land again. But that unfortunately will not stop the youngsters trying to create the next big thing. Forget it kids, Jesus and Elvis both left the building.
