I'm not going to love her just because she (metaphorically speaking) rides gay men's dicks for charitable publicity.
Seriously?
Did you even see the show?
After all, a gay man was plunging into her for publicity. Where is your hatred for him? The show?? I hadn't heard about this, assholery, but regardless it doesn't undo her own PR stunts
I've seen her live, decent but not particularly blown away.
She's semi-talented, but I think she just does all this weird shit to hide that she's not like exceptionally talented, and she lacks personality. Like I know Rihanna isn't exactly that talented, but she has so much personality that she can still brand herself.
I kinda get the whole "music has sexuality" thing, in ways. There are some singers (typically of the female variety) who do become very popular with large gay fanbases. It's quite "typical" for a gay man to like Britney and Gaga, even though yes I know "not all gays..."

Yeah, you don't know shit.
You are biased with Rhianna without having given Gaga half a chance.
I could be blamed of the same in reference to Rhianna, except that I am not. Rhianna is overrated today much like Streisand was in the past.
Gaga is the true talent

Tbh none of the main gay baes are "true talent" (maybe apart from Beyonce). They are pop musicians after all...
But wow, slightly aggressive...

Do not go easy on me, I was entirely too aggressive.
And to be honest, the only true gay icon will forever and always be between Madonna and Cher.

Gay people as a culture - and particularly gay men - have atrocious taste in music in my opinion. Barbara Streisand? Madonna? Cher? Celine Dion? Lady Gaga? Show-tunes? Disco? House? All horrible, vacuous, kitschy and boring as f*ck. I don't know how many d*cks I would have to suck, before I could stomach the plastic awfulness, that gay people seem to consider entertainment, or even art.

Yet you did not provide an alternative. To what horrible music do you listen?
