anybody can become famous now a days....

1.) Does this generation even relaize what good music is?

2.) Is Lady Gaga a role model?

3.) Does this generation know the difference of whats reality and whats not?

Okay, I am going to touch on all three of the questions above. In my opinion I do not think that Lady Gaga is a superstar with actual talent, nor a good example of a role model. Gaga is a personality and character turned "superstar" by technology and auto-tone.

She associates her models as Elton John and the rest of the "greats," this does not mean that she is no where considered to be in the same catergory as them. Such artists have true, natural, and raw talent and aren't made famous by the things they where and do. If Gaga did not dress up and put an act on everytime she is photographed then she wouldn't be famous. My generation is mostly associated with famous people that become famous by making a fool of themselves on tv or the news to become famous.

So, I don't understand how anyone that becomes famous this way is in anyway a role model to anyone. I can see though how some might mistake her for a role model because she does speak out about gay rights and being who you are. Also, I don't understand how people look up to her for what she wears and does...do people not realize that she has people that dress her and tell her to act and that she doesn't think of any of the outlandish things she does on her own? To me, she is the last person to look up to because in my opinion everything about her is fake because this isn't who she is. How can someone be an activist on to be who you are when she isn't who she is?

In conclusion, I do not think that my generation knows the difference on whats reality and whats not. I say this because most of the people that are famous today are famous for "reality tv," in which isn't reality at all and is scripted. They look up to artists that don't actually have talents and claim to be oringinal when most to all the things they do are planned and not original in one bit.
