News flash to an artist ...

... whose music I'm almost entirely unfamiliar with:

If you have to tell the reporter interviewing you that you are a rock star, then you probably aren't.

I freely admit that I've hardly heard any music by this person at all, but I feel that this is a universal truth more than anything else. >:-)

Is that Lady Gaga? if so ye must be hiding under the covers in Norway, there hasn't been a week that she has not appeared in the paper for the past 7 months or a radio station that her songs have not been overplayed.

You don't listen to the radio, do you, Leisha? I don't either, but still, I think it's fair to say this Gaga person is actually a bit of a popstar. Or rockstar. Or whatever it is she calls herself. At least I've definitely read enough about her the last few months.

when asked about the lyrics, she said that Pokerface was about her Lesbian fantasies, got her front page on the tabloids and some of the broadsheets. She's a clever lady, ie the way she plays with the media.

Ha-ha, I though the first criteria of being a rock star is to actually play rock music... Something she's definitely NOT doing.

I do fancy some of her music, and I think she's a lady with attitude, playing with the media, but I don't think she's understood what it really means to be "a rock star". It's not just about trashing hotel rooms and taking a joint... Hah!

Sure it is! ;-)
