Lady Gaga with horns?


Lady Gaga

Gaga has always been a very eccentric and creative icon in music. She's passed the limits of Madonna's reign and now has hit extreme stardom. Her new stunt now plays with the laws of nature. According to NBC, she went through with a trans dermal surgical procedure; a procedure in which a prosthetic implant is inserted. Not only was it risky, but beyond bizarre for a lot of people.

Personally she's giving out the wrong message. Her album titled, "born this way" is a complete contradiction against her little stunt. I always saw Gaga as a hero. Standing up for individuality and expressing who each and every one of us are.




Lady Gaga started out as a very bright and unique artist. Exactly what American pop fans were craving. Her outrageous actions have led to more and more fans. Her gay rights movement turned fans into crazed supporters.



She sent out words of strength and hope for gays, lesbians and bisexuals all over America, demanding rights and the same opportunities as straights. I agreed with her most of the time, because she really was an empowering person.


Her horn stunt has really taken down a lot of my appreciation. People love musicians for their music and what they do in real life. I like them according to their personal lives, their actions and what they want to accomplish for the future. Lady Gaga has been a huge influence on me and what I do, basically every day. I'll still buy all of her Cd's but her little horn stunt is politically wrong. It encourages young people to accept plastic surgery as a way to make yourself more "beautiful". Even though it's giving 90210 plastic surgeon Robert Rey more clients, it's ripping away beautiful self confidence. There's an article on USA Today, with an interview explaining Gaga's reasonings on the "horns." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/04/lady-gaga-explains-her-inspirational-facial-bones/1


Her explanations are truly... what's the word .. interesting? Sometimes, I believe her actions are solely to attract attention.


It's erasing the ability to maintain self-love in this disastrous society we live in. Hopefully Lady Gaga can do something else to catch our attention and will send out a positive message for the 21st century generation.

Rebellion Music in Egypt



Ramy Essam, a voice of hope in Egypt

Anger at its highest stage of the rebellion in Egypt, Ramy Essam picks up his guitar and shoots out powerful lyrics like bullets.

In Tahrir Square, men shouted his name, "Ramy, Ramy!" They were desperate for soothing words and comfort.

The lyrics to his song, "Leave", had lyrics like,

"All of us are standing together, asking for one simple thing: Leave, Leave, Leave, Leave."

People gather around, singing the hypnotic and strong song of change.

"He will leave, because we wont leave," said the twentysomething year old. The lyrics captured support from members from around the community and they all worked as one to alter egyptian politics never before been tampered with. Only ten days after his singing his song, "Leave", Mahammad Mubarak - 4th President of Egypt from 1981 to 2011 - resigned.
