Oh PUKE! Lady Gaga, Desperate for Attention, Triggers Gag Reflex at SXSW


Last night Lady Gaga performed at sell-out music festival SXSW and the desperation for a waning career reached pathetic heights of grossness.  In a lame and failed attempt to divert attention from the Born This Way Foundation spending scandal and Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga tapped so called "vomit" artist Millie Brown to perform with her on stage.  The fact that someone calls themselves a vomit artist is disturbing in and of itself but that's a discussion for another day.

During the single from ARTPOP, Swine, Gaga did her best reductive version of a GG Allin show and had Millie Brown drink a green coloured, milky liquid on stage.  Once the tasty beverage was finished, Brown stuck her fingers down her throat and proceeded to vomit the green liquid all over Stefani. Once Brown emptied her digestive system of green fluid, she puked black shit all over Gaga as they both played in it like bridge-trolls on a mechanical bull.  I feel like vomiting as I write this. Revolting.  Checkmate for glamorizing bulimia too!  Good job Gaga.  How's that youth empowerment going? #PopStarsDontEat 

You know you're on your way out when you resort to putrid garbage like this.  Anything to get attention huh Gaga?  While art is a form of human expression, it should have it's boundaries as well. You can't create or perform whatever junk you want, slap an art label on it and expect to be considered some kind of artistic genius.  In Gaga and Millie's case, they are nothing more than clowns from a travelling circus sideshow act. 

Gaga really wanted to be a bad-ass rock-n-roll chick for this show. What you ended up seeing was watered down drunk, 1990's Courtney Love mixed with GG Allin, who whined when she had to sing her pop single "Applause". I guess the pain of being reminded of how badly it flopped was too much to bear.

Just how Gaga's SXSW was known for anything but the forgettable music from ARTPOP, GG Allin was known more for his stage antics than his music. He was known for vomiting on stage, beating up his fans (male or female), consuming his feces and self mutilation.  He even had his fans eat his feces. Gaga read a page from the GG Allin play-book and applied it to her show last night. Referring to a comment I read on dListed, GG Allin once said that he planned to commit suicide on stage.  That didn't happen.  He ended up overdosing on drugs.  

Gaga, your move. 


She's still trying to sell this ARTPOP concept huh?  Yeah, I don't think her attempts to create a new genre or movement is working, at all.  This turkey is fully cooked.
