Thicke looks a little "thick" in the mid-section to me.
Trueee...
Ass? I didn't notice naything peculiar. I was concentrated on Miley's ass
agree! Fun Gaga is back! She was having so much fun and yet she still looks very iconic and classy.
unlike this ex-hannah montana too trying hard
Looked impressive in the tight pants he had on last nite at the VMA's as he did "Blurred Lines" with Miley hitting up all his important nether regions. (He needs to wear that vertically lined suit 24/7.)
Gaga, iconic? She's the Walmart Madonna on Halloween night!:biggrin1: The word 'iconic' is thrown around far too much these days. If she's still around in 5-10 years then she might be considered an icon then but it's far too soon to say that now especially of someone who's known to simply rip off other artist's ideas without giving due credit.
I thought he looked a bit overweight in his middle section at the VMAs. In fact, him, TI and Pharrell all remind me of your emabarrassing uncle drunkenly dancing around at a wedding party in the video for Blurred Lines, which wouldn't really bother except they all give off vibes which suggest they're think they're the bees knees.
I don't like Gaga too much and I agree that she is no match to Madonna that she's tried to copy... But I think she is iconic and her performances for 2009, 2010 or even 2013 VMAs prove it. In only 5 years she has made a popcultural impact bigger than anyone during that time. Madonna should thank her for publicity.

I can remember the Paparazzi performance with all the fake blood, but the other two you mention aren't ringing any bells
To me, Lady Gaga shows more Grace Jones influence than Madonna influence. People are quick to jump on the "She's copying Madonna" bandwagon, but Gaga has shown that she's influenced by everyone from Bowie and Springsteen to Dale Bozzio, Janet and yes, even Madonna. But to give her the "Oh, she's copying Madonna again" charge with every new release is just ridiculous. Grace Jones was renown for her wild getups and stage antics back in the day (and today, as well), and Gaga is almost a new generation reflection of that. As for her never giving credit to other artists, well, I do recall Gaga speaking at length about how all of the people I named have inspired her. She even put something to that effect in the liner notes of her first CD about MJ, Prince and Madonna. And speaking of an artist who takes from artists who've come before her without do credit, well, we could write a book on Madonna and that subject. Hell, there are websites dedicated to how Madonna has ripped off other artists over the years and never given credit for it. Anyway, Gaga is probably the most interesting and talked about female pop star of her generation (Beyonce is more R&B than pop, Katy Perry is sugary, boring and bland, and Rihanna is a general mess and always seems indifferent to it all). It may be too soon to call her an icon, but she's definitely on her way there.
Now, off my soapbox and back to the topic at hand. Robin and his THICKness can get it all day, every day. LOL.

Oh yeah. So. Where is this Thicke's ding dong ? I believe it's the most overrated part of body which has not been revealed ever, in the whole universe. And I don't like it
The VMA Paparazzi's enough
There was no such pop star before her, at least as far as I have known. So she has made herself into an icon immediately. She is like a queen of fan service... annoying and boring after being funny for a few minutes. But - queen..
I'm not saying that Gaga doesn't look to other music artists like Grace Jones and David Bowie, but it's quite clear to me that, overall, she's used Madonna as her main template. Producing commercial dance pop and highly theatrical videos and stage shows and mixing in 'controversy', religion, high fashion, sexuality etc is all very Madonna.
Madonna attended her first tour and when Gaga was interviewed about this, rather than being flattered that the Queen of Pop had come to see one of her shows, she talked about Madonna's daughter, Lourdes, instead. It seemed like an obvious attempt to deflect attention away from the extent to which she's influenced by, and yes, copies, Madonna.
When Born This Way was released as a single, everyone started saying it reminded them of Express Yourself, but when Gaga accepted an award a few days later it was Whitney Houston who she specifically thanked for inspiring the song, not Madonna.
So, no. I don't think Gaga does give proper credit, and she's actually told UK chat show host Jonathan Ross, that she's inspired by 'no one':

Perhaps none of this would really matter but she talks all the time about how 'innovative', 'avant garde' and 'artistic' she is when more than any of the other current pop girls, like Katy Perry or Rihanna, she's ripping people off left and right: someone needs to tell her there's nothing avant garde about copying.
And to end, here are just a few examples Gaga jacking Madonna's image:
