She seems to make every headline with everything she does, she is not afraid to wear an animal heart on her sleeve and she is breaking musical records daily. Lady Gaga, since her debut in 2009, has only gone from strength to strength, with Rolling Stone coining her a ‘Monster Goddess’ and millions of fans worldwide flocking to see her in concert. However lately Gaga has been accused of discrediting former artists; for the song “Born this Way”, the song’s tune has been likened to that of Madonna’s “Express Yourself” and in a recent stage performance, she became a mermaid, not dissimilar of the classic performance that Bette Midler was renowned for. I, personally, am unsure whether to think Gaga is truly this original creative figure that is pushing the boundaries of musical culture, or if she is just recreating the best of the best and claiming it to be all new?
This is the scoring system. Every time she does something uniquely creative, then she will be scored a “fantastic” point. Every time she discredits an artist by blatantly copying them or saying/doing something that is contradictive of past behaviour, she will be scored a “plastic” point. Running total will be kept and I am willing to renegotiate point allocation if a good enough argument is made.
So is she Plastic or Fantastic?
