NME posted it's 10 Most Pretentious Albums Ever list, written by Priya Elan. Guess who's picture starts the article? Yup. Guess who made it to No.1? Lady Gaga's Born This Way.
Stefani got wind of the article and it bothered her so much that she tweeted about it.
What does she find ironic about the article? Is she going all Alanis Morrisette and doesn't know what irony means? What's actually ironic about her tweet is that a narcissist is disagreeing that she's a narcissist and rolling her eyes at an article that doesn't think she all that great. This coming from a woman who claimed this was going to be The Album of the Decade before she even finished it!! Did I mention that she claims to have created a whole new genre of music? Yup, not narcissistic at all.
Her tweet sticks of insecurity and she's obviously really bothered by the latest No.1 spot shes landed on in a really long time. Thinnest skin in the business.
Actually, NME is right. Not only is Born This Way pretentious, it's a piece of shit. The music is garbage. The self proclaimed 'gay anthem', the ONLY hit from this craptastic album contains one line that shits all over gay men and glorifies the stereotype they've tried to move away from. Thanks Gaga, for setting the whole movement back several hundred thousand steps. What the gays don't need is a straight, rich little princess from the Upper West Side who knows nothing about what they go through to give them a pat on the back and nominate herself the Queen of the Gays, waving her sword to fight the gay battle. Fuck you.
Don't be a drag, just be a queen.
Need I say more?
If anyone thinks that is deep, artistic and meaningful, you need to lay off the crack and read some really good literature. Gaga ain't no artist. Back in Mozart's days, she would be the fly he swatted when it landed on his piano.
Now, check out what she tweeted right before the NME tweet.
This tweet reeks of narcissism and is breathtakingly pretentious. Hair is her song. Who the hell plays their own music, singing into a hairbrush and claims to forget they're a pop singer, for 5 minutes!!!??? So the rest of the time she thinks about how famous she is? Wow, just wow.
Lady Gaga: What should I listen to today? Born This Way, then Born This Way, then...hmmmmm, I know!!! Born This Way!!!
