LIVE ROCK CRITIC TEN LADY GAGA HERETIC
Justine Timberlake hosted Saturday Night Live May 12th 2011, Lady Gaga was the musical guest."Born This Way", all of the artistic composing skills of a Casio Auto Play. Grabbing her crotch twice Gaga walks forward, does the Galvanic frog leg thing whirls the ridiculous blond ponytail, walks back, walks ahead, spins with little style, squats, slips and straightens up. The meaningless choreography marches on more like a fitness session than art.
What about the band? Am I hopelessly a perfectionist not willing to accept the mediocre pumping bump and grind, the soulless blasting sameness, even when the tune changes. I find this hard to accept as top level Rock and Roll.
Heresy! I am sure that the music pumps along, complete with Gaga from yesterday backing Gaga today , Live? sing the stop motion, slow motion and infinite number of reviews which the DVR makes possible I see guitars which are not being played. Acquire a DVR recording and watch the guitarist's hand block the guitar strings. Carefully watch the picking when it is not happening. Am I mistaken? Are these not really musicians but just more dancers artlessly fabricating Lady Gaga's intellectually and morally bankrupt posturing, not actually musicians creating the music. It seems to me to be to a large degree prerecorded. During the performance Lady Gaga walks over to centre stage and some prerecorded Gaga voice with a hyped up autotune sings out "Judas, Judas, Judas.......". In my opinion this is an act of heresy.Furthermore, during interviews and live on stage at Madison Square Gardens Gaga claims that she does not lip sync; singing along is every bit as tacky as lip syncing and it could even be worse when these glitches are an obvious lack of precision skill and style.
I say to myself: Who writes such crap music as "Born This Way". It reminds me of the Eurhythmic's tune "Sweet Dreams". Does some Patch Blender say, Steff, lets save a lot of time I can whip up a patch, or is the mind of the composer Lady Gaga that bland repetitious and strident over nothing? I knew when Gaga accused "Judas Judas Judas......." that she was referring to her former "boy" friend Luc Carl.
What do I find wrong with the Lady Gaga vocals? They don't really fly. They pump and growl. The vocal and the choreography portray a chaotic meaninglessness but for the constant repetition. Is there a more skillful method of reinforcement than repetition? I surely hope so. Pause the DVR and witness ugly posturing, in my opinion, open crotched splay legged dissolution. I find the dancing by the Gaga troupe to be ugly and unsynchronized. I know that the lack of symmetry and the inconsistent timing of identical dance moves is not intentional, it is sloppy and unskilled. Pause the DVR again and witness ugly facial expressions o defiance and pouting pouffery. Much of the choreography is reminisent of really cheap go go bar dancing by amatuers.
There is the phenomena of the Phantom Chorus. I hear echoes of voices and voices in the background and there are no other singers. Stefani is singing along with prerecorded or software produced Sefani. The fakery is used in the studio with equal illegitimacy but during a live performance by a self proclaimed live performer, it is heresy. It goes against every honest principal of her performance and the back vocal keeps on, I am sure it is not an echo.
The song "Born This Way" degenerates into yowling out the slogan over and over. The repetition is irritating. Another feature of the second number is constantly changing songs. Unrelated and conflicting song parts exist then disappear forever themeless and without continuity.
Lady Gaga performances are self aggrandizing exercises which I feel do not entertain so much as be "awesome". While I was watching "Family Guy" there was a screening of a 1985 Mick Jagger - David Bowie dance video, "Dancing in the Streets" , the editorial from "Family Guy" was not complementary. I found the simplicity and normalcy of the set to be real. Jagger and Bowie dance happily and with enthusiasm and the message is friendly and all inclusive. I really liked this primitive low tech video. The dance moves are fluid and skillful and they portray and connotate something which is real and nice.
While I was doing research I noticed that Jagger is going to form a new band?
