I don’t listen to Lady Gaga at all. Sure I HEAR her music because it is everywhere, but I don’t consider myself a fan. Pop music just isn’t my main genre so I don’t really get into it. I still find her to be a top notch sideshow though, and admire her ability to not only market, but her creation as well. Not just her wearing of ridiculous clothes together like equestrian boots and a tut or something weird, but everything is crazy.Her own creation, and not a studio cookie cutter pop tart like Britney, or one of those annoying boy bands.

Her marketing ability I have always been fond of. Her sale of her new album “Born This Way” for one day on Amazon.com at 99 cents is a great plan. Not only will it likely push her album sales in the first week over 1 million copies, it brings all kinds of publicity. Not only does the price set it, but Amazon’s servers were flooded with the sale and couldn’t handle the traffic. Even more news to get awareness out.

The one day 99 cent sale ended up processing over 330,000 copies on Amazon that day alone so she got over a third of the way there in one day. In fact because of the technical issues Amazon priced it at 99 cents 3 days later for those that missed out and expected to show at least another 150,000 purchases to put her halfway there on Amazon alone. Talk about a cheater’s way to the top of the Billboard charts eh?

If there ever was an awesome pair to put together it would be these two I think. Lady Gaga and Ozzy couldn’t be anything, but entertaining. Ozzy decided to talk to the press instead of just picking up a htc desire android to give LAdy Gaga some advice.

Sound advice it may be too…

“I do think Lady Gaga should take a break for a little while. She’s getting to be too much,” Ozzy told Us Weekly in a telephone interview last week. “And she doesn’t watch the exposure of her clothes. She’s just too overexposed.”

The 62-year-old Brit believes that while the Princess of pop has the chops to be the next queen, her talent is often overshadowed by her attention-seeking get-ups (case in point — meat dress).

“She could be the next Madonna if she played her cards right. I like her, but I’m getting a bit sick of her,” Ozzy told the mag. “When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lampshade or whatever… I think she’s really, really entertaining, but she’s doing a bit too much. Every day it is something else.

“The specialness of her is gonna get killed if she doesn’t calm it down,” he added. “…Someone should whisper in her ear and say back off for a couple of months — let people gain interest back.”

Agreed. Take a break. Music is still the most important part. Being a sideshow doesn’t make you last forever.
