Same old , Same old when is break again?

First off i have never heard or seen David Bowie s music, but what i have seen are his outrageous and bizarre costumes that he would create for himself. When I first see the guy I am like is that a chick or a dude? but I came to realize that he is just performing on stage. My main point is that their are a lot of artist that do crazy stuff in the name of the crowd I mean i remember a story that Ozzie Osborne was so high that he bite a bats head clean off live on stage, or stories like guitarist swinging their guitars and bashing them on the stage. Well in comparison to David Bowie I can say with out a doubt that Lady Gaga is close to none the weridiest chick in the music business. Now I understand that she isn't the preetist face like Brittany Spears or Katy Perry but she has this zazz that screams personality over superficial beauty.Some of her confounding images has to be the multiple maskes she wears while performing. At the 2011 grammys i shall her in some kind of egg and the other year she was in a loud red suit that looked something out of pans labyrinth. Regardless her style has a lot to say about who she is. Her outfits great though I would never ware them express a deep personalty about her character and whats going on in her head. I think that even her music is a reflection of her outrageous personality that manifests it self outwardly. Now this has been done before when you see Elvis Presily or Micheal Jackson wearing clothes that in their time wear out of the ordinary. Dances , clothing , and speech can be a way to express ones inward appearance. When you look at Micheal Jackson's jackets and Jerry curls it just screams girl y but for him it was a way to show his personality. Elvis did the same thing with his hip and leg movement these are examples of how a musician can express themselves outwardly in a outrageous lite. As for my ,modern day opinion no one comes close to Lady gaga in outward performance and appearance. I don't really understand her message to her audience but from what I can gather is that her message has something to do with freedom of expression and release from a world that has chained her down for so long. Most artist like David Bowie will write and display them selves as pieces of art to demonstrate something or just to be weird and out there . Though I think that David Bowie is a weird and comical individual he's choice of freedom of expression has helped artist like Lady Gaga become more and more daring to push the envelope on the music and art that they are creating. David Bowie dressed like a chick , Madonna wore a meta bra and Lady Gaga is something else but these are the characters that are in the music industry today.

  1. First of all I love your title haha I feel the same way! I need a break Anyway to the point I am in the same boat as you. I don’t even know who half of these people that are discussed are much less what their music is or what the look like. I had to google David Bowie to find out who he was or even when he was popular. I also just happened to watch the movie runaways and they talk about him in that movie lol. I agree that Lady Gaga is the most outrageous person in the music industry today. She is a little crazy but I like it. I used think she as kind of crud and only sang about sex but after actually listening to her music she is so much more. Her outfits are freaking ridiculous but I give her props for having the balls to wear stuff like that and not being afraid of showing who she is and what she likes. Oh and I have heard that about Ozzy Osbourne too and I researched it a little and he really did bite a bats head off:/ Creepy.
