I don't want to take this post to talk about lady gaga as a female, feminist inspiration (although I do think she is one) but I want to just talk about her as a musician. I recently heard that "telephone" was written by lady gaga for britney spears (a guilty pleasure for me, don't tease!) and it let me listen to telephone with a different perspective. I always knew that something was off when I heard lady gaga and beyonce sing telephone (don't get me wrong, I LOVE lady gaga and beyonce, I really think they're two amazing feminist role models as strong-minded, independent women, especially in a society that suffers from a dearth of those types of women) but I couldn't place it. once I heard britney sing it, I knew that what was strange was the sound of the song itself sung by two women who didn't go for that type of genre of music.
anyway, seeing britney's version made it click and it made me kind of relieved, you know? telephone just wasn't gaga's sound. phew, gaga; that was a close one. rock on ladies.
