The MTV Video Music Awards are less than a week away, and it looks like pop princess Lady Gaga and Divalicious Beyonce will be going head to head, both having 9 nominations each. One can only wonder will this be stiff competition or is the winner already in the bag?
We all know who Beyonce is right? Singer, dancer, songwriter, actress blah blah blah. I don't know if it's just me, but the hype surrounding Beyonce has seemed to die down and with fresh faces popping up from left right and centre, it's making me think whether Beyonce is staying relevent in the music industry. Is she still making an impact as she did with "Crazy in Love"? Let's take a look at her recent videos shall we?

Do you see a difference? Not really! If you ask me, Beyonce's recent movements have seemed way too repetitive for an artist that is usually known for reinventing themselves. So far her chart success has been reasonable, but there's not much left for Beyonce to give artistically anymore. Now with funky fresh characters such as Lady Gaga and the cultural impact she's had already after only releasing her first album this year I can only ask, is talent is actuallly important anymore?
Lady Gaga jumped on the scene with her catchy "Just Dance" and has quickly made an impact with her loud fashion statements and unique sound. It is pretty obvious that nobody listens to her music for its deep meaning! Lady Gaga's charima overshowders the fact that she's...quite frankly, a bit of a nut job!
But still she has 3 million albums copies Worldwide as well as both her singles "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" topping the charts. I can't think of much people who don't admire her already, which is strange seeing as she hasn't done much to have sold so many records. I guess it truly does pay to be young as at the tender age of 23, she has 9 VMA nominations and her first album was only released in August! After Beyonce's marriage to Jay Z her behaviour has become more and more strange, so I guess she has the lack of sanity in common with Lady Gaga at least!
The obsession with Young Hollywood has given me the conclusion that Lady Gaga will most likely beat out Beyonce for these awards but I guess we'll have to wait until Sunday...What do you guys think?
Lady Gaga..the name says it all. I think you hit the nail on the head.."does talent actually matter anymore?"
ReplyDeleteAs for Beyonce, I agree it must be pretty hard to reinvent yourself when there's these younger teeny boppers poppin up! But then again, she can always just go back to acting :/
