So Legit

It seems so lame that my first post is about this. I wanted my blog to be mainly about clothes but I've been thinking about it for a long time.

I'd like to say before I type, I am a massive fan of Lady Gaga. I've seen her twice in concert and I know all of her songs backwards. I'm not gonna swoon dramatically and say "oh, she's done so much for me!" but around year 9/10 (age 13/14), when trying to figure out who I was, I'd like to say Gaga helped with this. I'm 17 now and 3/4 years down the line, I'm wondering how authentic she really is. 

There's obviously been suspicion about Gaga's authenticity from the beginning however last month something struck me to question more than ever. Ahead of the release of ARTPOP, Mother Monster has completely changed her twitter so I have no evidence. 

On the 25th of June, almost a month ago, a Twitter user and fellow Little Monster tweeted Gaga causing her to reply "we can bring this revolution into a new age if we stick together". Inspirational, no? Well no, actually, it isn't. I clicked on the tweet only to see many """"Little Monsters"""" tweeting the poor man "oh drop dead" / "kill yourself" etc etc. I used to follow Demi Lovato (who i looooove) but had to subsequently unfollow because the uncalled for abuse she was receiving quite frankly upset me. I couldn't help but feel appalled by the comments although the irony was laughable. If an artist such as Gaga is supposed to encourage acceptance, why are her fans so cruel when it comes to things like this? Why didn't Gaga stop them? 

This of course leads onto the argument that many have about fans ""ruining"" artists. I signed up to twitter in 2011 to follow Justin Bieber. It's only exposed me to the idiocy of many on the internet. Before twitter/facebook/blahblah, the only exposure to crazy fans was in Stan by Eminem. 

I write this post, of course, after a new Lana Del Rey track leaked online commenting on the legitimacy of Lady Gaga. Sometimes I feel idolising has gone too far ....*looks at giant cardboard cutout of Harry Styles in the corner of my room*....or maybe people just don't think before they type.

Kudos to Gags though for not retaliating to any comments made by Perez Hilton ((although I disagree with dubbing him "Pigrez" for two wrongs don't make a right.))
