Recently, I have been looking into Lady Gaga.  I have been watching more and more interviews with her and a common theme that I have noticed is that her life is Theater.  Her name is even a stage name, taken from Queen's song Radio Ga-Ga. The music industry is a very male dominated world.  I noticed when watching interviews with male singers, the interview never asks about the artist love life.  They focus on the music and what statement they are trying to get across.  As I watched interviews with Lady Gaga, the interviewer would ask her if she is in a relationship.She would never answer, but if she did, she would ask how it relates to her music. The interviewer would then ask if her sexuality is distracting with her music.   Now the more I watched her videos, a theme stood out to me.  The image of how women are seen in the media. In articles, women are viewed as objects.  Lady Gaga herself has turned herself into objects in her video to show this.  She also shows the violence towards women in the media.  She even wore a meat bikini to show how she is seen as a piece of meat.
When Lady Gaga first came out, I just thought she was trying to be sexy and attract attention whiched worked.  What I didn't realize were her meanings behind everything she does.  I have a whole new respect for her as a musician and a woman.
