Lady Gaga Continues War Against Boring, Puts Fear Of Christ Into "American Idol" Contestants
 |
| Bringing the exotic to the mundane -- and staying cool. How does Gaga do it? |
Anyway, on Gaga came, wearing giant hooves and not many clothes (as is her way 24/7, apparently) and proceeded to work her magic by groping contestants, asking them to embrace "evil," and making Scotty McCreery fear what Jesus would think.
But what was truly amazing was that Gaga genuinely
seemed to give a shit. She put her heart and soul into this. She cared. She's
was passionate. She gave the contestants -- gasp! -- solid advice. And what's more, she took a show that is seriously lagging in the compulsive viewing stakes
right now (that's what The Voice is for, people) and made it a Must Watch.
We can only assume that this blind passion for nonsense is also what convinced her that previewing songs from new album, Born This Way, on FarmVille (that life-wasting, dull-as-dishwater Zynga "game" that's doing so well these days) was a good idea.

Given the fact that Lady Gaga has about as much in common with FarmVille as a concept, as she does with Bolshevism, we have to assume she was
compelled to do this for the same reason she agreed to do Idol -- a personal war against
boring.
Maybe that's her new thing: taking our poor and our tired concepts and adding some sparkle, glamour and joyous goddamn lunacy. The obvious next step would be some cameos on past-their-sell-by-date sitcoms -- and, yes, if Gaga was on them, we'd totally watch those, too.
