GaGa is a Pop icon …
GaGa is a Pop icon already, she is singing for the world and this Glori (who?) is just another meaningless country band.
She is on a new level, let those poor cowboys have their minutes of fame.

These guys are a …
These guys are a country music ABBA…anyone else notice this? kinda creepy. more bland pseudo-country pop garbage… Give me some Merle Haggard over this anyday.
Lady Gaga may be wierd and all, but this band is just as prepackaged for the middle american Walmart masses as she is for the hipster dance crowd.

Next time people …
Next time people start talking about Country Music Artists as role models..remember some of these “little known” stars?
Chris Cagle – arrested for Domestic Assault
Mindy McCready – painkiller addiction, DUI, resisting arrest and battery charges
John Rich (Big & Rich) – assaulting a fan
Kenny Chesney & Tim McGraw – arrested for taking a Mounted Officers horse & then attacking the officers trying to get the horses back.
Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and many others – drug, alcohol abuse & more..

That’s an …
That’s an interesting thought….It DOES seem kind of strange that the people who won are virtual unknowns.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Yeah, I have …
Yeah, I have nothing against this band, but honestly, I’ve never heard of them. How does a band win breakthrough artist when no one’s heard of them? It makes no sense. Not hating on them, but EVERYONE has heard of Lady Gaga and NO ONE has heard of these people. How can people win a breakthrough award when they haven’t really broken through to audiences?Unless it was a lot of Taylor Swift fans voting. I know she’s got lots of fans. That’s the only conceivable way I can think of them winning this.

GaGa was robbed by …
GaGa was robbed by the Right-Wing, Country Bumpkin, Conservative, Redneck, Religious NutJobs. Gloriana Who? The rest of the world wonders, who the F… are they?
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR OF THEM AGAIN.
GaGa Continues, NON-STOP
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Your right about …
Your right about the award thing BUT…She’s had 5 #1s in a year…
1. Just Dance
2 Poker Face
3. LoveGame
4. Paparazzi
5. Bad Romance
And yes they are in order.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I actually respect …
I actually respect your opinion because you make some good points. At the same time, MJ was a big Gaga Monster.
He told his manager that he loves Lady Gaga. Quote “I Love Lady Gaga”
He evn said his kids are big fans. Despite her clearly not being the best role model.
But she did say she represents all the “freaks” in the world.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Dsanchez you aren’t …
Dsanchez you aren’t very smart. Quass is right. Lady gaga is a terrible rolemodel. I’m glad a country artist beat her. You can at least find decency and moral in country artists. Outselling the J5 doesn’t make her better than them. Gaga doesn’t even deserve to be in the same sentence with “Jackson” in it,since Michael would put her to shame anyday. You have no taste in music
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I will not be …
I will not be suprised if lady gaga doesnt win at the grammys coz redneck conservative bastards, control who wins..nway gaga doesnt need silly awards 4 validation..at da moment gaga has the #1 song(bad romance) in the world for 3 weeks in a row n became the 1st artist in uk history 2 have 3 #1 songs in a yr.Now datz wat i call a BREAKTHROUGH..ALL HAIL QUEEN GAGA..
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Ha. I find it …
Ha. I find it amusing how ppl try to pick fights with ppl over the internet. And I’m not gonna put myself in a category for you. And its funny that you say
Only 2 types of ppl who like gaga cuz last time I checked she’s a platinum selling artist breaking Jackson 5 records
And having ppl wait days to get tickets to sold her sold out shows.
What are your recent groundbreaking accomplishments?
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I find it amusing …
I find it amusing to see how many idiots actually like Lady Gaga. she’s nothing but a whore with no self respect and that’s seen in videoes such as Disco Stick. Heck,she looks like a shemale anyways. There’s only 2 kinds of people who like Lady Gaga..Steers and queers,so which one are you?
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I’ve always hated …
I’ve always hated Taylor and have been ever since the VMAs that GaGa lost to that bitch. And I hate her even more now that she’s responsible for Gloriana. I pray that GaGa beats Taylor Spit on all the categories at the Grammys.
I bet Taylor Swift did a few and the ppl running all the award shows swaped the envelopes…..
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
How the do you …
How the do you “Breakthrough” when no one knows who the you are Gloriana?!
December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am

December 15th, 2009 at 9:30 am
