Lady DGAF?

What the hell is a mainstream pop singer doing on DGAF? The world needs more DGAF women, and we're always on a mission to find more of them! We definitely didn't expect to find one in Lady Gaga either.

When she first came out, I thought she was a Christina Aguliera rip-off. I mean wasn't it some big thing that they had the same hair last year or something? "Just Dance" also sounded not unlike a Christina Aguilera track. I wasn't impressed. Oh, how cute, she's trying to dress edgy...


I tried so hard not to like her, until Poker Face came out and conquered us all with its catchy disco electro pop swagger. I couldn't escape it.


Love Game had the same effect on me... I thought it had the dumbest chorus until I realized how taunting it was and started singing along to it and found it constantly stuck in my head...


And don't even get me started on Paparazzi... along with its insanely trippy, melodramatic, hypnotic, and bizarre music video... which also references the robot from the silent film "Metropolis" which is fucking COOL...And anyone who gets the Swedish male triplets from the Vh1 reality show "Daisy of Love" in their music video and suggests sex with all three of them IS AS DGAF AS YOU CAN GET!!!


The thing is, I started to notice how FIERCE she was. She can wear whatever the hell she wants and pull it off. She struts like a 7 foot tall supermodel but with more attitude. I don't think a pop star since Madonna has been this ambitious. But Madonna was nowhere NEAR this FIERCE when she first started!!! And her choreography is sick, let's face it. It definitely helped out that she was a theatrical nerd.

Now that i've seen more of her videos and interviews and performances, whatever, holy fucking shit she is a REAL sassy bitch. She's so young but she's so sure of herself and totally in control and really is talented musically. Her confidence and intelligence is fucking badass, especially when younger women aren't encouraged to have any, and in an age where ditzes like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are worshipped for cluelessly partying their lives away and being general dumbasses. Lady Gaga doesn't need to cause scandals in her personal life, but only in her peformances, which is the way it should be!

Pop singers aren't really known for their opinions, but the fact that she really is concept driven and is really clear about her references is refreshing. She talks about David Bowie, Queen (her name is derived from their song "Radio Ga Ga") and has a tattoo inspired by John Lennon. She considers what she does "art", and whether you agree or not, I think pop music needs that push and that perspective, and again this reflects her total dedication to her work. She is completely aware about the power of image in music as well as the whole concept of fame, and she's never afraid to express herself or be completely gratuitously over the top, and admit every bit of it. She knows exactly what she's doing. Let her be pretentious if you think she is, because she has a BRAIN.

Did we mention that she is ACTUALLY a talented musician? She writes her own songs, she can actually SING, she plays the piano, and is just a genuinely good performer. What a fucking pro, and so in control of her work. She was also one of 20 people in the world to gain early admission to the Tisch School of Arts at NYU. Did Jessica Simpson do that? HALE NAW. She sure as HELL couldn't do this:

or this:


Did we mention that she is openly bisexual and openly supports the gay community? It's pretty DGAF for a mainstream pop artist to express her beliefs like that. Conservative America, are you offended? GOOD.

I think the only pop singer who comes close in DGAFness is Pink, but despite her badass attitude and vocal talent, she isn't all-conquering like Lady Gaga. Christina Aguilera can sing, sure, but she's not DGAF. Britney dressed up like a fucking schoolgirl when she came out, which was super LAME. Lady Gaga doesn't need any half-assed predictable schoolgirl fantasy bullshit because she's a fucking vengeful high fashion dominatrix who can outwit you and kill you, all while getting over 14 million hits on YouTube in well under 2 weeks:



Because I usually hate it when female singers dress skanky but Lady Gaga is a fucking drag queen without a penis. Let people say they think she's a man or ugly or whatever, just because she's a ferocious performer and looks like she could eat you alive, all while rocking the most avant-garde costumes you could only DREAM of wearing. And her prominent nose just makes her look better in makeup! Haters should just admit they wish they could be as DGAF as her while making a living like that at the same time... and did I mention how jealous Gwen Stefani probably is right now?

She is also brutally honest and sure of herself. Her answer for what she looks for in a partner is a classic DGAF answer. I think more girls should follow her example:

shit, maybe she needs to meet Kavinsky...

And you really need to be DGAF to admit to being a con artist: "if someone asked, who is lady gaga, i would be ok with 'she is the most impressive con artist of fame.'" For a pop singer? super DGAF.


DGAF. fuck the haters. LADY GAGA IS HOT!!!
