Although Lady Gaga probably has good intentions trying to spark dialogue surrounding racial tension in America, this conversation have existed for over 60 years. This tweet deflects the larger issue at hand. It implies that racism is a black person issue. While racism heavily influences black people’s lives, they did not create the concept nor perpetuated the institution of racism. Lady Gaga asked the wrong question: she should have asked, “Why do white people need racism in the first place?” However, to answer Lady Gaga’s initial question at hand: just listen.

Expressing emotions and feelings through lyrics can increase self-esteem. Songwriters use literary devices to better express themselves and to enhance their writing and the readers

Lady Gaga entered the music scene in early 2008 and made big in 2009 with her album the The Fame Monster. Although many of the fans believe that Lady Gaga has a lot of talent, much of the success of her music career can be attributed to factors other than the music itself.

Her lyrics are very real to say, she talks about how people see other people. She also talks about how people don’t value others, and how did replace people real quick. She also states don’t think that you can have my love to waste, she is defending her honor in a way. She’s talking about how people are seen and how they are undervalued, but she is basically saying don’t undervalue me. She is saying that she’s not like everyone else, that she shouldn’t be seen as everyone else has been

Lady Gaga performed parts of her famous hits "Just Dance", "Poker Face", "Telephone" and "Bad Romance together with the rest of her stage cast, but took it to heart to individually perform “Born This Way”. There, she sang lyrics from a verse towards

This is an inspirational song for an average teenage girl, but as I pointed out there were some contradictions to the lyrics and the meaning. They may want to see themselves as beautiful in every way possible, but the world is a puzzle and there is a piece that is gone because of what has become socially acceptable.

One of the most important things when it comes to music is the meaning behind the words, and Beyoncé’s lyrics are truly great. From her song “Flawless” she says, “Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices. Always keeping in mind that Marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support. But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage. And we don’t teach boys the same” (India). This whole song is inspiration, these lyrics especially, she rising up and stating that girls and boys shall be equal. Another song where she shows her determination and strength is “Grown Woman” where she says, “I know the world and I know who I am. It’s ‘bout time I show it” (India). One last song that shows Beyoncé’s independence is “Me myself and I” where she says, “It took me some time. But now I am strong. Because I realized I got Me myself and I” (India).

Gaga revealed her story on a “Today” show segment. Dissociation is another side-effect Gaga suffers from with her PTSD, which means that her mind doesn’t want to relive the pain. “I look off and I stare” in a glazed over state. As my doctors have taught me, I cannot express my feelings because my prefrontal cortex is overridden by the amygdala and sends me into a fight or flight response.

Glamorously gaudy, this self-made post-modern diva, Lady Gaga was the first true millennial superstar. She seems to be stitched together from elements of Madonna, David Bowie, and Freddie Mercury. Mastering the constant connection of the internet era like no other, Gaga has generated countless mini-sensations through her style, her videos, and her music; cultivating a devoted audience she dubbed her "Little Monsters."
