Lady Gaga Response

Popular music in America has a large number of women in it's industry. There are many women in music who label themselves as feminists. Ke$ha and Lady Gaga are woman who have said some interesting one liners in Los Angeles Times that are basic and limited progressive statements to justify their success in the industry and warrant more people to become fans. However, the music industry is just another capitalist machine regardless of the faces that are presented to the public such as Ke$ha or Lady Gaga. I believe that Ke$ha is an untalented white trash version of Lady Gaga while Lady Gaga is an overly dramatized public figure, acting outlandishly for women and the gay rights movement. I will never understand why musicians give their political thoughts or intentionally try to justify a political statement in a song that could be made by a thirteen year old with Garageband on their Apple laptops. Political movements through music totally ended to dramatically affecting the public when the year turned 1980: an era of singing about the splendor of American Capitalism.
