I believe that most of what she does she does just for attention, and that she could do so much better. If you look up videos of her pre-Gaga days, she actually has quite a bit of talent. I’m not sure if the ‘statement’ she’s trying to make now is that if you’re eccentric enough people will like it, or if she’s just taking advantage of that because she knows it works. I don’t know how much of an act what she does now is, but she’s pretty savvy.

Her song “Bad Romance” proves your point well. Sadly, what she does proves that we are in the shock content generation. Logically, this generation will be doomed to boredom after so much shock content.

Well her message says that being gay is okay. And the church agrees with that. But its when they have gay sex is when its a problem. She is not saying “go have gay sex”, shes just saying its okay to be gay, to be different.

the Church does not say gay is ok. Gay is against scripture and the way God designed our bodies.

I did not say you worshiped her but her actions, clothing and the things she is supporting are wrong and what is worse is that there are too many that follow her and believe what she sings about and supports.

The desire for more and more shock content will die out in boredom. This has been seen in the Western pop music scene of today, with the likes of Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj doing more and more shock content.

I’m not much into “pop music”…but she is an entertainer…she is a contemporary music artist. I’ve watched several of her interviews when she has been out of costume and she seems like a young lady that has her head on straight. She contributes a great deal of her earnings for worthy causes and political campains.

She is articulate and poised when on camera away from her entertainer “persona”.

Yes, I have seen her interviewed too and she is intelligent but so also is Madonna and Gene Simon of KISS. Many of these artists are very smart people but all of the ones mentioned above left the faith they were raised in to become heavy promoters of very immoral lifestyles that come with their rock star status. Sadly, they influence too many to destruction. Jim Morrison of the Doors also had a very midwestern conservative upbringing. I see Lady Gaga as another in a long list of rock stars that came from a faith background only to disregard it and use their platform to promote immoral uncontrollable behavior. I have seen Gene Simon of KISS come out very strongly against drug use but I would hardly think of him as a role model considering his very immoral life-style. ( he was raised in a conservative Jewish home). Maybe the better question is why these people left their faith and faith upbringing. Lady Gaga said she felt like she never fit in at the all girls Catholic School which is probably why she heavily promotes “being free” and doing what you want and are. Yes, she is smart but being smart without morality make one a rather dangerous person.

I wish that to be true but shock is like a drug and when it wears out, you move on to the next increasing shock thing.

Intellegent, articulate, gifted people are “dangerous”…the question is “To whom” are they dangerous? She definitely isn’t a “follower”…she definitely IS a free thinker". I can see how many conservative religious people WOULD consider her “dangerous”.😉
 
Lady gaga is a blaspemous singer, mocking her faith, promoting sex on demand and homosexuality. Personally, I love Country and Gregorian chant with abit of il divo. Todays hip hop is lewd in sexuality, plus it sounds like garbage. And I’m 16!

About Nightwish, is that that Swedish/Finnish/Danish whatever metal band with the female opera singer? I know a girl who is absolutely crazy about them, especially Tuomo or whatever his name is. I personally can’t stand metal - the riffs grate on my ears, and the hyper-energetic vocals provoke anxiety; I much prefer the very “smooth” and relaxed style of semi-electronic and piano-based music as is exemplified by the better songs of Blacklisted Me (i.e. Reprobate Romance minus the last 40 seconds), She Wants Revenge (True Romance) and Depeche Mode (Enjoy the Silence).

Yes, they’re that Finnish metal band. Although they got rid of the female opera singer and replaced her with a more conventional female vocalist. It’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy it. With the female vocals, Nightwish doesn’t really have the “hyper-energetic vocals” that some metal bands do (though their bassist does some of that). Some of their ballads are quite beautiful. The Islander, for example.

what she is promoting and living is dangerous, to herself and others, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Without morals or a sense of right and wrong, intelligent, articulate and gifted people do become dangerous. Some of our most deadly despots were very intelligent people.
One of my favorite teachers in high school was a Jewish woman who lost close family in the holocost. She said that the people whom she admired the most were not necessarily the most intelligent but the ones who had a moral compass and were willing to act on it and follow. Lady Gaga is smart but what she promotes is just self centered, I gotta be me behavior which leads no one anywhere but heart ache and destruction to themselves and unhappiness. Just as my old HS teacher pointed out, intelligent people caused the holocost, it is the moral ones that tried to stand up to it and fight it. I watched one of her concert “monster” being interviewed where this young lady was just gushing over Gaga and stating how Lady Gaga “touched and changed so many lives”. This young lady painted her face like a skull. So i guess Lady Gaga helped this poor sap to paint her face like a skull. So now she is “free” to paint her face like a skull. This really is so helpful to our society, our young people to die their hair blue and paint their faces like skulls and be encouraged to act anyway they feel. God help us.

:clapping::clapping::clapping:

👍 It is sad how so many think the kind of nonsense she peddles is some kind of life-altering, consciousness-raising, world-saving change. Lady Gaga is like a one-woman Burning Man.

Newsflash, all you naive neo-hippies: running around a stage half naked isn’t going to save the world. Encouraging people to just do whatever they want is not going to produce any positive change in society. And if you need a lady in a thong and fishnets to tell you that you’re a valuable person, well… you need more help than she can give you.

She’s a talentless hack who compensates for her lack of talent by being as controversial as possible. Without auto tune technology, she would still be unknown.

I disagree. She certainly is not a talentless hack. Most of her own material is written herself and she is definitely a very talented pop artist, performer and writer. I’m generally a U2, Coldplay kinda guy but she has made a bit of a fan of me - music wise. :o

It is unfortunate that she behaves in the the manner that she does. I would say she is a bad influence (certainly on children). The lyrics of some of her songs are questionable & most of her music videos are not suitable viewing material for any serious catholic.

That’s my :twocents:

:blessyou:

I liked the original singer much better. On another trivial note, the new vocalist is Swedish.
Another term for the genre of their music beauty and the beast vocals ie. female ethereal vocals and male metal like vocals.
 
I saw an interview talking about how she goes into her egg to become ‘reborn’ and then comes out when she fees shes reborn spiritually.

What the heck does that even mean?

No, Pumpkin. The Church says that same sex attraction is disordered. Not okay.
Click to expand...
Actually, from what I’ve learned being on these forums, the church says homosexuality is not a choice, and is accepted by the church as long as no acts are commited from it.

You can be gay- but not have gay sex or get married.
 
No, the Church says SSA is disordered and homosexual acts are sinful. It is silent on whether it is a choice or biological, as the Church does not pronounce dogmata on matters of science, biology, psychology, or anything other than faith and morality.

The Church likewise pronounces not on matters of creation, except as they pertain to faith or morality: “the world was created from nothing”, and “we are descended from first parents” (the basis of original sin). Within that spectrum, there are young-age or strict creationists such as myself (where I fit in oddly in the Catholic Church, better in the Orthodox Church, and best of all in the Reformed and Evangelical traditions, on that one doctrine), there are ancient earth/universe/age creationists, intelligent design advocates, theistic evolutionists, so on and so forth - none are condemned by the Church and all are accepted, with the Church pronouncing on none, as long as the dogmata are adhered to and the views are compatible with Christianity (i.e. materialism, reductionistic materialism [mind-brain/body equivalency], atheistic Darwinism, etc., which are not).

However, unlike on the age of the earth and matters of evolution, where there is ample room for very reasonable disagreement within the bounds of human knowledge, there is much less room for reasoned disagreement on the psychogenic origin of homosexuality in at least a segment of the population with same-sex attraction (see my previous posts).
