Lady GaGa Says She's All Women! Question Is... Who Cares? - Page 5
There have also been some American Idol contestants who made it to the top, but I still don't understand how some of them got there.... (hello Clay Aiken). Sorry Claymates. Are there any left out there?
I do give Lady GaGa SOME kudos for her confidence and for being able to make it in the music industry today, despite how little talent she has under those bubbles. But everything she does seems "borrowed" from either someone or something that came way before her. Even her name was taken from Queen's song Radio GaGa according to her.
So for all you fans out there who are gaga over GaGa, and whom I expect will be barraging me with some lovely comments...just know that she is not the inventive ground breaking diva you think she is.
It's all been done before many, many years ago and by people who wrote better songs and who had much more talent.
In fact even GaGa's hair and face have a familiar look to it. GaGa has said that Donatello Versace is her favorite fashion icon. Um, clearly...she totally stole her look. I guess we know early what GaGa will look like when she gets older and has had a few nip, tucks and plumps. Scary isn't it?
So getting back to divas from way back when... Who had the coconuts back in the 1940's, to put a pile of fruit on her head and wear gigantic platform shoes and outrageous midriff outfits?
Why it was the lovely Carmen Miranda of course. Aka Maria do Carmo Miranda da Cunha. Here she is in one of her many wacky costumes complete with Christmas ornaments glitz and feathers! Carmen was also an actress and appeared in many movies. Watch this vid to see some of her many outrageous outfits and actual movie footage.
I can easily see GaGa taking Carmen's Chica Boom song and adding some techno tracks and coming out on stage with fruit on her head. Errr...I mean humping some fruit on stage. Gee, I hope GaGa doesn't read this, I don't want to give her any ideas.
Chica chica boom chic baby!
