I’ve always had a lot of respect for Lady Gaga. She’s completely batshit insane, but unlike most of those self-consciously ‘quirky’ artists out there, she’s actually has the talent to back that up. You have to admire her courage. Or, at the very least, her ability to keep a straight face.
But her appearance at the MTV VMAs was so amazing that she’s now become my personal hero. She was, by far, the most entertaining person on there. I mean, who else could sit behind Beyonce and completely steal the spotlight? That takes some balls (no pun intended).
Flavorwire have a great article deconstructing Lady Gaga’s VMA ensembles. My favourite is the Carrie/Burger King one.
